Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 25, 2018 Author Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Embargo date be damned, here's the full review (in German though) 9:46 The whole black section in the back open upwards with no unlocking, revealing the battery box and the L motor right next to it. And the BBox seems to be attached horizontally from the back. That is surprising. I thought the BBox would slide downward like that in 42070. 11:00 OMG the outriggers retract at the speed of BWE going forward.... Maybe @Maaboo35 can indeed compose a sonnet while waiting 14:15 Supertructure can be rotated manually when the switch for rotation is disengaged. Edited July 25, 2018 by Ngoc Nguyen Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 That is some floaty steering! It's to be expected I guess. And again, several civilizations reached their peak and fell while the outriggers were retracting. Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 25, 2018 Author Posted July 25, 2018 42082 and 42009 confirm my feeling that 4 motorized concurrent outriggers in mobile cranes can't be counted on for speed. Quote

N-4K0 Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 If the option is motorized outriggers that extend and retract painfully slowly, I'd rather have manual outriggers, lol. Quote
Bartybum Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Does the crane get lifted off the ground? If so then I understand making outriggers so slow. Either way it doesn’t bother me too much. Quote

Or slightly faster motorized ones They are slow, but I think they do beat the 42009 (not sure). I don’t mind them being slow, since the rest of the functions work properly and you only deploy the outtiggers once. Although I would have loved slightly faster versions. Quote

I dunno, maybe they gear it down so there’s less stress in the gearbox or something. I realise it’s probably unlikely since the outriggers use MLAs instead of big ones. Quote

I'm testing it in my model - 4 MLA can lift only chassis with links with superstructure without Battery boxes. And of course without heavy wheels. 1 hour ago, Frantechnic said: CEE?

Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 Last time I check on amazon.de the lowest price is 205.89 EUR o.O How did he get that steep discount? Quote
Seasider Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I'm still not sure about this set. I would have hoped for a smoother rotation of the main turntable, its very stop/start Quote
WvG_853 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 It was a one day offer around 10 days ago: 188 EUR but adapted to 185 for Luxembourgish VAT. The prices fluctuate on a nearly daily basis. You can use idealo.de to get an idea of the price evolution. Quote

I would have hoped for a smoother rotation of the main turntable, its very stop/start Everybody keeps saying this and, respectfully, I just don't see it. There is a difference between a jerky turntable on a crane b/c of poor design, and then there is jerkiness just because of backlash, and that is it. When due to the latter, this is not due to poor design per se but the mere fact that ABS is used. Better design may occur by using less axle length, but there will still be some backlash, no matter how little axle length is used, when we are talking about a very large, heavy build. Like this is. I rather think the rotation of the superstructure is smooth. How do I arrive at this conclusion? There is little to no rocking back and forth. Which occurs when things are off-balance. 42009 had plenty of this..... Quote
