January 18, 201312 yr Somebody fully automated it Drives a bit fast but nice mod, I wonder is there much to doing this?
January 19, 201312 yr I,m thinking about making a run up to Troy in the near future to check it out. \ At least you are closer than I am to Troy... Drives a bit fast but nice mod, I wonder is there much to doing this? That is a bit fast, but the boom speed operation is about on par with the 8043 it looks like...probably the reason the 8275 was a little slower was it weighed more than this set? Just guessing...I wonder if there is much to adding RC to it as you asked. Would be cool if the 8294 was full RC too, but it so compact unlike the undercarriage of the 42006 doubt it would be an easy task, LOL, ya think. I don't think the 8275 is that fast. Dan When I had the 8275 built it was much faster moving than the 8043...I now have the inspiration model built with some mods and it is still fast in moving and tracking sideways and such...but excavators and dozers aren't meant for speed in moving, from all the ones I've seen they are fairly slow...on the other hand backhoe/loaders are fairly quick but so far TLG hasn't produced an RC backhoe...I believe I saw in some thread sometime back that somebody RC'ed an 8455 but that is one compact model too...the 8069 is possible I can see, I'm sure somebody motorized it, probably just missed the thread.

January 19, 201312 yr Would be cool if the 8294 was full RC too, but it so compact unlike the undercarriage of the 42006 doubt it would be an easy task, I 'RC-ed' the 8294 a while ago, even before the speed control was around. The motors indeed hardly fitted in, see also the instructions in the form of a series of photos. Greetings, NXTLiftBoy

Greetings, NXTLiftBoy That's a tight fit getting the motor I can see, and the IR on top of the superstructure. I am rather suprised at the 'tallness' of the 42006, I haven't built mine as of yet, it looks like even at resting position it is taller than the 8043. Never saw the 'butt' of the 42006, kind ugly, too bad they didn't add in some fairings or enclosed it somehow. Btw, how did you get the yellow warning light on top to blink? I've never seen that, ingenious... Edited January 20, 201312 yr by TechnicFreak
January 21, 201312 yr Does anyone know would it be possible too fit the claw on 8043 or would it take a lot of modification? I think it would to off 8043 :) Iv no experience really in mocs but I'm building the ultimate 8043 in the next few weeks.

I'm not a good MOC'er myself, I did build from the ground up a semi flatbed trailer this past summer, my first go at it and have modified one of my 8464's with a forkset to load pallets and other cargo onto the trailer and also modified the 8275 Bulldozer inspiration model with a cab, lighting and a different claw setup to securely lift items, but that's about it. I'll bet the claw setup for the 8043 will come up in the forum soon enough. I have a sealed 8043 yet, it would make a nice mod. Edited January 21, 201312 yr by TechnicFreak

It would be nice to have the claw from 42006 on 8043 :) I have two 8043 sets I'm just after taking one apart to build the ultimate 8043 , now iv a lot of parts to order ;(
