Rebuilding 8258 Crane Truck.

[technicfan]

Hi, I am starting the rebuild of my 8258 Crane Truck, the first time I built it 2-3yrs ago, the outriggers and crane didn't work properly, the crane would struggle to open and the outriggers would struggle to come out, and the turntable would click, it was a disaster, so now I am going to rebuild it. anyway I was wondering if anyone had the pdf's from Han for his updates?., I am struggling to obtain them from his site, also if anyone had any other changes they made to it to make it better?. I am also changing the color and making it rc for steering and drive. Any help would be appreciated.

I just built it about a week ago and the opening of the crane struggles a bit for me as well. I know all my gears are loose so I am not sure what happened. I have a feeling it is the clutch gear which is giving way to easily.

I did apply Designer Hans changes which you can Google if interested.

Thanks, I managed to download Hans mods thanks to a friend. I have spent a good part of today working on it and so far so good, have already put most of Hans mods in there, I have tested it all and seem to be working good, the outriggers are working better so that is a plus. The test will be when the crane goes on.

I did the dual rear wheel change and used black panels instead of red when I built it a second time, and made the doors open, looked a lot more stealth. I'm not that good at modding though so didn't tackle anything else :D

@technicfan: Nice to see that my dual wheel MOD is still being awarded today

[technicfan]

Thanks Han, I am using all your mods, hopefully it will work better than it did

So far so good, it drives and steers , had to sacrifice the fake engine to put the drive motor, but had to do the same with the Arocs so I am ok with it. Takes a long time to build when you are recoloring and making little changes here and there to fit stuff in, getting there though.

Finally finished, came out better than I expected. Recolored in white with black rear guards, r/c drive and steering and opening doors. Changed the front a little bit and added all of Han's mods. Han's mods worked better but I still had to get rid of the 2 clutch gears for the crane rams. Now to build Ingmar's Low Loader and dolly for it.

The white looks great, but I am not sure the yellow crane looks that good with it. Maybe if it black or blue it would look nicer.

Nice...

I thought that aswell, it was originally going to be a red crane, but it already had the yellow outriggers on it, so when I started building it in red it didn't look right so went back to the yellow to go with the outriggers, but it grew on me and I think it looks alright in yellow now, otherwise I would have done it in another color.

I've did a rebuild of a MOC, was green/dark bluish gray/yellow.

I've rebuild it in bleu/dark bluish gray/white.

Blue cabins, dark bluish gray side panels on the tipper and a white crane with blue pipes and gray hoses, looks stunning.
