LEGO Technic Motorized Excavator 8043

Product Information

Some day, I'll do some computer images which strip away all the structure to dissect the functions and show how they all work. Disclaimer: BrickLink does not guarantee an inventory to be correct and therefore an inventory should be only used as a guide.

The next assembly is a cap for the gearbox which contains some of the gears which will be used to drive the digging arm. If the motors for driving the tracks were in the base, then the wires would have to go through the turntable up to the battery box. I wedged the bucket under the gearbox to hold the whole thing up or the excavator would tip back on the tracks. Whilst I understand the philosophy you have put forward, doesn't this mean that there will be generations gaps? However LEGO does listen to their fans and do some smaller releases like Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!AFOLs have been asking to reboot Classic Space, Castle, Pirates themes as well as monorail, have more trains and do on for long time.

You'd probably want to get dump truck, super car, plane or some other model that you don't already have. Just flip a switch on the LEGO® Power Functions dual infrared remote control to drive the excavator to job sites, spin the cabin 360 degrees, to maneuver the articulated arm and to dig with the shovel. The ability to use all 3 digging functions at once is very nice, although to be truly realistic, you need to be able to slew without switching functions.Quick overview of redesign: A tan axle pin is replaced by a dark tan 3-length axle with stud, enabling the gear mechanism between the tracks to operate more efficiently. It will be fun to play with, fun to build, and even the alternate model is available if you get bored.

IE the age group who becomes interested lego every 10 or so years don't have the models available to them and so that market is lost? Before we do the gearbox, we'll install the battery box and the rear cosmetic assembly which also serves to help hold everything together. The nice part of this is that the slewing speed matches the speed of the model turning when skid steering. If the measure of a good set is how many gears it has (and there is ample evidence to suggest this is true), then this is the best set ever.

In the course of human events, the occasional item or product may come along which changes the way we perceive the world, and perhaps even ourselves.
