Aha, are you pondering what i'm pondering?
I want to see a revamp of the technic back hoe released in 1989. Improvements:
1)pneumatics on the front bucket
2)pneumatics 3 times longer than the orignals
3)pneumatically powerd rotary motors
4)these motors power an actuator which extends the rear boom
5)sliding (side to side) rear boom
6)all wheel drive
7)tilting front axel
8)modern styling
9)larger (is this going too far now, what the heck)
10)pneumatic motors are reversable so they can be used as a pump
11)new mains opereated motor (can also be powered by battery)
12)gearbox (4 forward, 4 reverse)*
13)motor powers the drive and pneumatic pump.
14)all the original functions.
OK I might have gone too far hear but that would be a nice (and quite
possibly very expensive) set but I would honestly pay £150 for it.
To have all these funtions in one model may seem far fetched but it's not
really. I've already designed one (gearbox and all) but I can't make it
because it requires new parts. (About 5 new parts)
Gee wizz is it nice, I am aching to see one in real life. It even looks as
if it is built by a professional. So if I can do it, I now they can do it.
*Gearbox specs of a jcb 3cx back hoe
enought of my ramblings, for now I have to plan for tomorrow night pinky 8^)
