Lift a Stayputnik

(get the Probodobodyne Stayputnik)
As Simpleplanes roll out more and more updates, sometimes things get old. Sometimes it add new stuff, sometimes it break stuff. But when they come together to update my biggest build, they did a very great job updating it.


PHONE KILLER. DO NOT EVEN TRY TO RUN IT ON YOUR PHONE.
That said, hardware had improved over the years. Still, it's best not to.


Get ready for the biggest, most complex LEGO Technic model ever, the Mobile Crane MK II! Drive this 1,746 part behemoth of a model into position with the cool 8-wheel steering and rotate the superstructure. Then turn on the activation groups to extend the outriggers(that almost never breaks) and extend or raise the new crane arm up 50 feet into the air. Lower the hook with the powerful winch and get ready to lift the load! This authentic model also features 10 wheels and 5 axles with a decent suspension to handle most of the terrain you would ever encounter.


I'm sorry, but stabilizers using traditional structure (sliding pistons) just isn't strong enough for this 30 ton model.

But the arm is now mostly indestructible. Isn't that a good thing?
(note: slow motion might be required to prevent it from jamming up)

GROUP 2 + TRIM for arm extension
GROUP 2 + VTOL for arm elevation
GROUP 4 + VTOL for winch
GROUP 8 + Pitch for engine
GROUP 6 for Magnet

LandingGear for stabilizer
