(...) The 9V motors are strong enough. Sometimes it shocks a bit, when the weight is not well distributed (means that I either have too much or too less counterweight). The crane is able to do 0 to 1.2 revolutions per minute. When studying the spec (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-01, to lugnet.modelteam)

(...) Currently I have enough space in the upperstructure. But this will change with the second edition. I studied the blueprints and realized that I have to move the five winches closer to the turntable, which means that there won't be enough space (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-01, to lugnet.modelteam)

Do you have enough room for a drive for the revolution in the superstructure? Because you don't need the room in the undercarriage, I should say that I put drive into that section. It's not like the real crane, but I mostimes need the space in the (...) (23 years ago, 21-Nov-01, to lugnet.modelteam)

Hi Beat and Thomas, (...) other. Everyone has it's own way of building. We can solve problems together. Looks good those plates on the sides. If you have lack of bricks, it's a good solution. Although I prefer bricks, but you ran out very fast. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.modelteam)

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)

In my case this was Liebherr Werk Ehingen. I wrote that I was really interested in this (...) (23 years ago, 21-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 (...)
