I made a list of the extra parts needed to build the boom from the Ultimate 42009.

Good morning fellow builders!

When i beta tested the instructions for Jurgen back in August i lacked of the listed 2nd L-Motor. Since a M-Motor has more torque than needed for extending the boom, I mounted an M-motor in the engine compartment of the upperstructure. I took some pictures with my smartphone, but never fund time to post them. Finally, here we go:

Please excuse the low quality of the pics, it was late in the evening.

I reinforced the mounting solution with part 2817:

Thanks, that would be a cheaper solution, I would definitely try that..I already have all the parts, except for the extra L motor

Taking apart the crane takes almost as long as building it :P Got all the PF components and using whatever parts i need from 8053. Missing one of the panels but it will be ordered when i need it :)

Well, I will take it apart next week (so I can build the remote version the following week). Wish me luck

Tip for taking it apart, separate all the parts when you are dissembling it. I only split the parts in 2 boxes. Not a smart idea at all Scouring my other sets for the parts i don't have other than the yellow panel im missing.

Bought the wrong extention cables since i'm an idiot

Just finished the chassis of this model, everything works really well so far. Thanks again for the ultimate instructions :)

I've build the Ultimate and added flashing lights...

Looks cool, how did you create the flashing lights?

I ordered the parts for the boom and they should arrive any day now. The only issue was the yellow 32184 which I cannot find anywhere.

So i finally finished the Ultimate. Since i was an idiot when taking it apart it took me for ever to find all the parts (divided into 2 IKEA bowls :P ) My other sets had a few parts stolen from them but they are mostly sets i don't really like or show so it wasn't that big of a deal. Sets that are now just skeleton creations of their former self are: 8053, 8069 and 8067.

I see that i have made a mistake while i put it together as the front stabilizers don't want to come out, they go down but not out. Other than that it seems to all be working and its really fun to the child in me with everything remote controlled :)

Thank you very much for the instructions and your creation Jurgen :) Will be getting a 8043 in parts this weekend so its going to be made ultimate right away :)

Picture of the beast along with some other Lego and a bunch of parts.

Some weird colors on the model i know, they will be changed when i get the parts ordered ;)

It's very rare in yellow, I got lucky and bought 4 from a fellow Eurobricker.

I just found two for sale in the U.S. and I can use some light gray or black pieces for the other two.

I made that same mistake also... the stabilizer won't come out.. it seems like the gears are also engage to the gears for turning left or right. I wonder if somebody could tell me which part of the instruction I made a mistake.

Is it ok if you point where in the instruction is that 6L axle? Thanks in advance

Here is a picture if that helps.

If the red arrow works follow that connection all the way up to see if it's connected

I had so much fun building Jurgen's ultimate 42009! Many thanks to Jurgen to provide these excellent building instructions, a nice step up to the regular LEGO instructions, much more challenging...

Except for the metal hook, I was surprised to have no missing parts... Maybe my wife is right and I did buy too many Technics sets the last years

I m in need of help. With the controls of the crane what control is meant to do what?

Please help

The stickers usually tell u exactly what lever does what ...

There no stickers on it. Its the upgraded model from that jurgens technic corner.

Just try it out ;) Switch from one Channel to the next and look what ot does. Or you could follow the way from the function tothe motor to the reciever and look on what port and channel it is

Edited December 11, 201311 yr by bricky300

Was just wondering if someone who build it could give me some info?

Sorry, I forgot to include this info in the instructions:

Channels for the receivers on the truck are 2 (Red/blue) and 3 (orange/yellow)

Channels on the crane are 1 (fwhite/orange) and 4 (blue/red).

The joystichs have channels 1 to 4 from left to right.
