They cost 15 euros.You can pay either with paypal (linked to this e-mail) or with iban. The money earned will be used to buy the EV3, so thanks in advance to all of us who will buy them ! And finally, here is the video : Any comments are welcome ! Edited August 29, 201311 yr by GuiliuG
August 16, 201311 yr The best wheel excavator I ever seen and with instructions, congratulations for this awesome machine :thumbup: .
August 16, 201311 yr Great excavator,I don't think there is a better wheeled excavator in terms of functions. I do think that it is out of scale....the arm is like a stick compared to the rest of the machine.
August 16, 201311 yr Wow, that is very impresive. I like how you got all the function in such a compact AND good looking (realistic) design. However, I would like to see the "loading bucket" a bit bigger.
August 16, 201311 yr I'm not a big construction equipment guy, but this is really cool. Great job on the MOC and the instructions!
August 17, 201311 yr Amazing model! Should be nice to see it with the railroad wheels tool Edited August 17, 201311 yr by Foggy
August 18, 201311 yr Author Thanks all for your sweet comments ! There are only two motors hidden in the arm, for the third arm articulation and for the bucket. The bucket is at scale, the one used in the 8043 excavator is way to big. Yes, it would be cool to add railroad wheels but there are already so many functions, don't see how to put these ^^.
August 19, 201311 yr Nice excavator with the myriad of functionality Edited August 19, 201311 yr by legomuppet9
August 19, 201311 yr Really nice model, very complex! Only one regret for the small bucket. Congratulations anyway, well done!
August 20, 201311 yr Author You should look at the real excavator to see that the bucket has the right proportions :) Thanks all btw. Edited August 20, 201311 yr by GuiliuG
August 21, 201311 yr Author The model is now added on rebrickable : Check out if you have all the parts to build it !
August 21, 201311 yr Wow! This is a really great and very detailed digger. I bow before the builder - I never could build anything like this. NIce move to have it put on rebrickable as well. I'm really close to buying the instructions...
August 22, 201311 yr Another amazing model. Do you have pictures of what you used for a controller? Since this has two extra functions compared to a normal excavator (boom rotation and second boom articulation), I'm not sure how the controls work. Regular 2 stick CAT controls would not be enough.
August 23, 201311 yr Author Thanks. For now, I haven't built a controller ( as it simply consists of four remote controllers pinned together) but I will build one in a few months using only two joysticks to control six functions.
