agrof Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Hi All! And here are couple of pics about my modded excavator. Here i only reshaped, filled here and there, i made the main boom 2 studs longer, and a bit stiffer. The original cab looks so bulky, for me it was totally out of scale. I tried also to do the tracks more realistic, but failed. The mechanics... come on, it is already AMAZING! Hope You like it! And my two favorites, bit photoshopped: More pics HERE . agrof p.s.: modding is fun, but now time to step further for a serious moc... fingers crossed.
Alasdair Ryan Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Again very nice work. But I would of not added that hand rail to the right of the cab.
technicfan Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Looks good, the cab didn't look right to me aswell on the original. Does your 8043 suffer any of the problems that alot of people had?, eg. main boom struggling to lift, track walking when the body rotates 360? etc. Edited March 10, 2017 by technicfan

And to answer one question, you can't have it able to do multiple 360 rotations, AND not track walk IIRC, due to the fact of the axles going through the middle.
agrof Posted March 11, 2017 Author Posted March 11, 2017 @technicfan One answer You received above, regarding the main boom lifting issue: there was an official repair kit for the first batches, in later productions 8043 came with the new linear actuators.

technicfan Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 XtremeBuilder I didn't bump the thread Lucio before me did. I didn't realise it was from a couple of years ago otherwise I wouldn't have commented on it. agrof I eventually gave up on my 8043 a year or 2 ago even after trying the ultimate 8043 I now have Jurgens Linkbelt which works much better.
