now everybody who buyed the set is happy or have settled , there are besides the shortcomings  also new parts and new a tricks to build .  like the four ring turntable and the "turntable"  "hinge" that carries the main boom.   I see people started to improve and extend the dimentions  does everyone agree the model in basic is a good start or is that the first to change ?    (all the discussion about the salesprice are very boring ... so stop that !)

I recently bought It with a huge discount, and i think this Is a very good set. It works perfectly and it's a really strong build. Can lift 1 kg in the shortest position that Is a good deal for an official set.

I managed to lift the Mercedes G500 ( little more than 2kg) with a little mod  to the boom lenght and doubling the counterweight.

Yes, for me was a nice surprise, the first c+ set i appreciated (and i still prefer Power functions). It's expensive even at 500€, but Is  playable, moddable and has unique MOC Crane parts.

LEGO sells last Powered Up parts on sale lately, C+ motors were discontinued too.
