LEGO Technic Motorized Excavator 8043

Product Information

You can also see the worm gear which slews the whole superstructure using the ring gear on the outside of the turntable. The last two pictures show the rotation axes of the various parts of the digging arm by showing it in the two extreme positions. Before we do the gearbox, we'll install the battery box and the rear cosmetic assembly which also serves to help hold everything together. This means that if you skid steer and slew in opposite directions at the same time, the carrier spins under the superstructure which remains in place.

LEGO Power Functions include two infrared remote control handsets, 4 motors, 2 receivers, 4 linear actuators and a battery box. In the past, in new condition, the parts have sold for TWD 20,426 (87% of items) and for TWD 11,212 in used condition (91% of items).

My copy showed up via DHL courier yesterday and I immediately began building, forgoing all sustenance and personal hygiene in my quest to complete it as soon as possible.I must admit that when I first saw images of the excavator, I had many doubts about how much functionality would actually be packed into the model. I have looked at a few options including motorizing my 42006 set but it doesn't make sense financially. My sticker sheet was slightly mangled from sliding around inside the box and one sticker was stuck to the instruction sheet.

The next assembly is a cap for the gearbox which contains some of the gears which will be used to drive the digging arm. The excavator really delivers everything a technic fan could possibly want - a generous amount of pieces, loads of gears, a very complex build, and even a fully playable model that looks great! Read onward, gentle reader, and be prepared to share my epic journey as you watch this model take shape.

Since almost no one on Earth has had a chance to build this yet, I thought I better record my thoughts and the build process as I went along. During its release, the set was reported to lack a strong enough digging arm to lift the boom of the excavator.

Answer to why LEGO doesn't keep same type of model for a long period of time is quite simple, I think.
