Hi All,

Just registered with Eurobricks. I had asked my wife to buy the 8043 excavator set to put by for my Christmas present. It was available in my local Argos shop but when we went to purchase it was 'withdrawn'. That's when I discovered all the information via the internet. It appears the Eurobricks Forum has the most interesting and upto date information on all Lego topics.

My questions are: Has anyone now rebuilt 8043 using the service pack modifications? Has the performance improved? and would you still recommend buying 8043 (assuming the re-released set is trouble free)?

Cheers

Hi,

There is a whole thread on 8043 model, the service pack, I suggest you read through it, rather than opening a new one.

and Welcome on board :)

Search the other recent threads on 8043 and you'll find lots of people who have done just that (including me) and reported their results.
