Good review and interesting video. As a 53y.o with some genuine concern, please be careful wearing safety thongs using a drill with thay much power😮 or other crushey/pokey activities
Glad you think about it the safety azpect of it. Its a unique look anyway and added to the video. I really did enjoy and watched the whole review which is amazing as i have short attention span when it comes to video.. i think the 120nm version comes out very soon too and only extra $20 bucks. Im trying to wait for that one. Cheers
The acetone worked. I added a lead ingot to the counterweight box. I mounted a small rubber wheel, on a swivel, to the rear of the box to keep it from dragging. I mounted 3 axles with small pulley wheels, free to move right and left above the 3 winch axels. This helps the string to wind and unwind evenly on these motor driven axels. I added several more of the small pully wheels to the axels on the booms where the string rounds a bend to keep it from rubbing. Mine works fairly smoothly, but I wouldn't try to lift more than 1/2 a pound, 250 or so grams with it. My ceiling is about 7' 3" high, the crane will go an inch or two higher if it could. Awesome build, I hope Mould King makes more crazy big kits like this.
Oh right you have high celings. Yeah i agree that this is more of a decorative set than a practical set, it just dosent have the balls to lift as much as people would initially think it could lift. I hope Mould King make more big sets too there are a couple more big sets i have my eye on and might consider bringing to the channel.
Mate 4.0ah is big enough for everything. You dont need to max out everything, yes the 8 ah might give it slightly more power the 4 ah have worked fine enough for tests.
I am trying to finish assembling this set now, but the design is a bit flawed. Those 1 X 8, 1 X 6, and 1 X 4 plates that hold the booms together pop off too easily, especially at the bottom. I bought a bottle of acetone and am in the process of bonding those pieces so they will stay attached when stressed. I hope this works.
yes they do pop off quite easily. I wouldve recommended to super glue the pieces together rather than using acetone but acetone should work fine if you're already in the process of using it. I just pressed them together very firmly it seems to be fine but people have used pliers with tape over the metal part.
Do you know of a website that sells replacement bricks? I broke one of my 15 longs on the main boom as i was running the cable. Almost all the way done then I broke something
It sucks when something like that happens so close to finishing. I do know theres a site called GoBricks im unsure about product availiability such as every type of lego brick they sell. It would be worth checking them out.
Yes i know, but Einhell had it for about a year or 2 before Ozito claimed it. It is better to wait for Ozito to get the products because they turn out to be much cheaper than Einhell products, i guess its to do with Ozito always having the rep for budget diy tools.
You add a lot of friction into the pulley system when you use a larger cord. I'm running 10lb braided fishing line. I've also found it helps when you stagger the rigging on the pulley banks. The Derrick is rigged right to left and the luffing jib is rigged left to right. Didn't like that red strap that attaches the derrick to the car body, so I scrapped that and turned it into a functional A-Frame.
Ok it sounds like you made some beneficial changes to the main mechanics and superstructure to the crane. My question is does it lift more now that youve made those adjustments?
@@Nornical1500s it lifts more now as I also beefed up the counterweight. A 4 lb bag of rice does wonders and it's easy to hide inside Technic panels. I picked up a medium motor and after reducing the gearing and some modifications to the boom I was able to retain full RC function. Another thing I've noticed is with thicker rigging, it takes up a lot of space on your winches which actually changes the gear reduction adding additional strain to your motors.
@@poopjeans1135 Ok yeah i understand where your coming from. Thats just a bit complex for me to do, im not really that good with modifications to sets but it sounds like you know what you''re doing. Maybe you could share a video potentially of it in working order that would be cool to see.
Yes you do need a hammer drill to drill into brick. Both of the impact mechanisms inside each tool are different, and an impact driver is more likely to snap a bit. Plus many masonary drill bits dont have the 1/4 inch hex drive to fit inside the collet of an impact driver.
I definitely reccomend this one over the cheaper one if you have bigger jobs around the home. This will definitely take care of them better. If youre only putting in a few screws here and there then the cheaper one will suite you just fine. As far as bits to use any 1/4 inch hex shank will fit in them.
Great review dude. I bought mine yesterday. I’ve only got 4ah batteries but was stoked with how bright the light is even on the low setting. Will be good in the boat at night and for hunting reptiles at night. Great value and the new technology shits all over my old spotties from 25 years ago. And it’s portable….woop Woop.
Mould King does seem to be getting their shit together recently. I bought this one and will start the build soon. Looks like it's big, going to have to find room for it.
Yep you are correct, Mould King does seem to be getting their shit together such as putting all the pieces in the set, that was one of my main worries is that i would have 1 or a couple pieces missing. Even though i had no missing pieces this time i believe thats not always the case as other reviews on this have reported usually just 1 missing piece. It certainly is a challenge so if you decide to buy this good luck! If you are an experienced lego builder however you shouldnt have too much trouble with this, might just be a few tricky spots.
Just completed my build and love this set, it's a big one that's for sure. I love lego but not the price they charge, this was $300 and the lego crane is $1012 big difference!! mould king has come through with making a great crane. I also added led lights and looks great.
@@trusterracing6185 yep my thoughts exactly, lego can go shove that price up their ass its just not worth that amount of money. I reckon led's would look cool on this set like you have on your set.
can you do 23 mashed peanuts 1/2 a can of pineapple juice a jellybean and 47.5 m and ms and 11 mini screwdrivers for 11.24 seconds - i cant do this because my mommy said im not allowed to eat m and ms
@lorcanbailey1699 did you want them all done at once like the screwdrivers the m&ms the jellybean etc all at once or did you want me to microwave each thing for 11.24 seconds one by one
1st you need to balance ur props,if not balanced they will suck ur battery dry. When ur dealing with anything that has to do with flight,you can’t afford to be thick skulled. Prepare,balance,check & recheck
Thanks for your feedback buddy..This was more of a fun little throwaway project that i didnt really think would work. The reason for the swastika isnt much more interesting then i got bored one night. It seems you might know more than i do in this field but the tail prop had fallen off in a previous video. If i do this again ill get a helicopter that firstly works and has all of its parts.
