I’ve been a LEGO fan since I was a kid, and my LEGO paid for my first PC when I was 14/15 (and by my first PC, I mean the first one I had exclusive access to in my bedroom, I’ve had PC’s since I was 7 in the family). So recently I’ve taken to playing with LEGO again, more for the challenge of it. And when I say LEGO, I’m actually referring to LEGO Technic which in the last 5 years or more has developed into more of an independent product with studless beams and such.
My first purchase was the 8241 Mobile Crane (featured here) which was modified slightly as the pneumatic cylinders weren’t up to much and now features dual double cylinders. I’ve also experimented with various concepts with the motors but have never gotten round to turning it into a true RC crane. Construction time was around two days for this.
Next up came the 8275 RC Bulldozer (featured here) and took me about 2 days to build also. Value for money wise, this is the best set purchased to date, and has in fact gone up in value now due to it’s rarity! This set is stock, as frankly LEGO got it right!
