LEGO Technic Motorized Excavator 8043

Product Information

In the second image, you can see the tan bevel gears which control the tracks at the bottom front of the assembly. Answer to why LEGO doesn't keep same type of model for a long period of time is quite simple, I think. 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). Or rather wait until the new kind of motors are available for customizations and later just upgrade? It features a Motorized Excavator with 360-degree spinning cabin, an articulated arm, a digging shovel, and Power Functions for movement and digging and is remote controlled using four medium Power Functions motors in a 2x3+1 switch box.

This is more than the number of actuators, so obviously a couple of them are used for other purposes. The ability to use all 3 digging functions at once is very nice, although to be truly realistic, you need to be able to slew without switching functions. Inside, you'll find 9 poly bags, a bucket, 3 instruction manuals for the main model, a sticker sheet, and a big pile of Power Functions components. At the beginning of Oct-2010 TLG started to deliver the set again, containing redesigned Linear Actuators.

In case your collection consist of more than 42006 set you can look into "bricklinking" 8043 set for yourself.

The 2 extra are used as gearboxes and support the digging arm where it attaches to the superstructure. Like the lower lifting linear actuators, idler gears are used to avoid rotating the heavily loaded support axle. Any teenager who manages to get one of these sets can probably count to 13 and tell the difference between that number and 15.
