About this deal

You'd probably want to get dump truck, super car, plane or some other model that you don't already have. High-fidelity replica model, operated via the LEGO® TECHNIC™ CONTROL+ app and powered by 2 advanced Smart Hubs and 7 motors. Inside, you'll find 9 poly bags, a bucket, 3 instruction manuals for the main model, a sticker sheet, and a big pile of Power Functions components. The next photo shows the transverse assembly which contains the red parts used to actuate the driving rings. 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.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? in 1 model rebuilds into Tracked Loader Excavator measures over 18" (45 cm) long Alternative model building instructions only available for download from Technic. The motors however seem to be no longer able to fully move the excavator and clipping of wheels can be heard a lot. This means that if you skid steer and slew in opposite directions at the same time, the carrier spins under the superstructure which remains in place. In the first image, you can see the top bevel gears which control the two functions which will be passed out along the boom.

While the excavator is super fun to drive operate, this image shows that it is actually lousy at digging holes, the bucket can barely reach below grade at all.There are also a large collection of panels here, including 10 of the long angled panels 64681 and 64393 in yellow which previously did not exist in any set. The 13L beams are dark gray for some reason, perhaps to help in distinguishing them from the 15L beams.

At the beginning of Oct-2010 TLG started to deliver the set again, containing redesigned Linear Actuators. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. Read onward, gentle reader, and be prepared to share my epic journey as you watch this model take shape.
