Yes it looks like (but I can't quite see how) it has a 3-section boom, which may
be what the more powerful RC motor is being used for.

I think there are three new cranes in total and I'm tempted to buy them all.
Someone from Lego must have been lurking in .Technic and caught the crane

Well the 2 on this page http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=110483 both
seem to indicate set number 7249, so I'm not sure whats going on there. But 1
new crane would be cool :)

And this one http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1045198 seems to have a
neat part used in the boom and to hold the outriggers - looks like a 2x2 "box"
with pins on the side.

(...) Strangely I got to see it once, and now I get the message that the folder isn't yet public. Anyway it looks great. This is the first technic set I've wanted to buy since the new backhoe. Obviously the Technic designer has encountered the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
