Well Thomas, when do you start building a new crane?!?! It's true the boom is much lighter with Beat's construction. But I think it isn't as stiff as when you use technic beams as diagonals. It could have a torsion, but Beat's boom isn't very wide (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.modelteam)

Hi Beat, As I've already said to you in my e-mail your crane is fantastic. Well detailed, my compliments! You did a good job by making such a huge crane! Are the 9V motors strong enough? I red you use two 9V motors for the revolution of the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.modelteam)

(...) Yes, I used a Technic turntable, mounted upside down. This way the gear of the turntable is fixed to the chassis and therefore the motors for the revolution can be placed in the upper structure - like in real. I didn't use a threaded axle. It (...)

Hello Crane fans As Dennis Bosman already announced in his "Modelteam Newsletter" of November 15, I built a model of a crawler crane. It is a Liebherr LR 11200, the biggest machine of this type, Liebherr builds. In reality, there are only two of (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.modelteam) !

About a supposed competition for the NH: there’s no. I think it’s not about ‘who’s the first with a scale 1:13 Volvo NH’, but who can build a NH which is similar to the real one. I suggest that’s the competition or how you name it. I have put this (...) (23 years ago, 18-Nov-01, to lugnet.modelteam)
