Posted February 17, 20232 yr Just a random RC crane truck. It's not based on any real-life vehicle; instead, it's a lazy rehash of my previous crane truck crossed with my dump truck. Looks dumb but works okay and my li'l nephew loves it.
February 17, 20232 yr Nice truck. It looks beefier with the thinner tires compered to the last one. And your last truck used all sorts of PF-Motors. What has this truck under the hood? i see an L-Motor and i would guess a Servo for steering? How is the crane operated?
February 17, 20232 yr Author Thank you! 37 minutes ago, pow said: What has this truck under the hood? I used three M motors (steering, outriggers and crane) and an L motor (drive). Since I was out of extension wires I had to cram all the motors as close as possible to where the power source would be located. 41 minutes ago, pow said: How is the crane operated? The four crane functions are activated through a gearbox driven by an M motor in the carrier. You can choose up to two functions at a time using the two black Bionicle teeth behind the crane cabin.
February 18, 20232 yr thank you for sharing the additional information and pictures. The longer i look at it the more i like it! I do understand why your nephew loves it.

April 27, 20231 yr Author Thanks for the feedback, guys I shot a video but it looked like hell, so it'll have to wait. Instructions won't be made but I will take a photo shoot of an upcoming rebuild/recolour.
