|
| | | Hello Lego Technic fans. Since the 1997 front end loader (8459), lego hasn't offered a large construction technic set. I think it would be a good idea to make a motor grader: 1) Pneumatic blade control 2) 4 or all wheels drive 3) powerfull engine 4) (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | I think it's time for TLC to do a mobile crane with a 3-piece boom. I've been at it for a few weeks now (okay, I'm quite ambitious: I want the boom to get 1meter high) and it's hard to get it all right. Anyway, this would be the functions (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | (...) You cannot have too many mobile cranes. And that's a fact ;-) A grader would be nice - there was one as an alternative model in the first Technic fork lift truck, but it was very simplistic. Jennifer Clark (23 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
