Hey guys-

I was just browsing Brickshelf
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1062483) when I noticed how
they set up the crane.

1) Yes it has steering (though which knob you turn i DON'T KNOW)


Me either but my guess is there's a knob on the back.


2) The extending mechanism for the boom, it's done by a chain (I didn't know
this. My idea for a three section boom would be along the lines of what Jennifer
Clark did)


Well it appears the chain is only to extend the innermost section, from other
pics I think the first section is extended using gear & racks like 8460.

I think they use it both. I think they are using the chain as in real
life the cables are used to extend the third section. (For as far as I
know real life cranes)

3) The two pneumatics ARE the new type, but are joined together by a special
covering (view the pic)


Yeah, interesting the pieces are in white not yellow. But maybe that's just for
the photo. And yes I like the bike and the forklift too - that's an interesting
rear shock on the bike. I wonder if I could fit a 2-speed gearbox in there...

If it were for the photo, I would have sprayed it yellow.

This shock is the same as on the Dirt Crusher RC car (set 8369).
But where is the front suspension?


And the forklist looks like a 3 section lifter too, sweet!

Possible because this forklift is buld in a larger scale then previous
models are.
