RC Liebherr LTM 1090 mobile crane (62 mm wheels)

[Darth Kram]

Cranes are my favourite type of Technic models and this one looks absolutely fantastic, I like the use of pneumatics instead of LA's. Awesome job!

[Tamas Juhasz]

Thanks all.

You did a wonderful job with great detail and functions. The write up is very well done also. Instructions maybe?

Sorry, instructions aren't available, I didn't make it, and I won't.

Nice model. How do you know exactly how many parts are in it?

It's pretty simple: this model is taken apart yet. If I let it be assembled, I would have only about 70-80% of my building parts, that's not enough (many important would missing).

Beautiful crane! i saw it earlier on BS

Usually I have very limited time, that's why I don't comment a lot of here, and write sometimes later the article in my topics.

Wow that is an amazing crane. Or put another way, what 42009 should have looked like.

[Erik Leppen]

Wonderful MOC. One of the best cranes I have seen to date. I like how you solved the double acting outriggers. Very nice that you managed to make it 8x8x8. I think this is the best scale for cranes, large enough to have space for functions, not too large that things become impossible.

[TinkerBrick]

Jaboni built the 42009 and shortly afterwards Jurgens Ultimate 42009, I must say they don't come even close to your Liebherr. I love the pneumatics which give realistic mount points for the boom.

My first question to TLG would be why has the 42009 only one driven axle?

Hope you like it.

Yes! A really nice blend of looks and functionality, well done and thanks for showing it here.

I need a new pair of pants..

[BEAVeR]

The ultimate mobile crane!

Both esthetically and functionally this model is beyond anything I've ever seen. You're great!

All those smooth surfaces, smooth movements and tiny accurate details are incredible.

Now only some window whipers, and you're really done.

[Feri84]

I love it! Awesome build!

[squizz]

This is insanely good....if only TLG could produce something this realistic. A masterfull work. congrats.

[Marcel1980]

I like it! Very nice model.

Just one question ; how many motors are there in total?

[Bricksonwheels]

Good work! I like it a lot. There is room for a bit more detailling which will really make it superb.

[SFRIP]

Awesome construction by such space!

I really think on 10/10: mechanical solutions, aesthetic, size... everything is perfect.

I´ve tried to replicate the steering system, but I don´t know how suspension works. How can the wheels go up / down?

Impressive work!

[Tamas Juhasz]

Just one question ; how many motors are there in total?

There is 8 motor in total: 1 XL motor for propulsion and 7 M motor for other functions.

I´ve tried to replicate the steering system, but I don´t know how suspension works. How can the wheels go up / down?

The wheels can't go up/down theoretically, because it has no suspension. In the video the obstacles cause a little deformation on the axle's parts, and the axles which aren't above the obstacle are raised from the ground. Axles:

- it can be, that you find a similar one, in this size there is only a few possibiliteis to create a non-suspended driven and steered axle.

This is badass.

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Totally cool!

This MOC has zero defects!

Impressive work with those pneumatic pistons! :wub:
