Lego 42082 crane "ratrod" version, and playing with it

- I bought this lego 42082 rough terain crane set because it was a good deal in terms of parts per dollar. I didn't really want to take the time to build it, but the kids really wanted to see the crane. So I only built the bare essitntials. I also used a bigger motor and changed the gear ratios to make it move a bit faster, and motorized the wheels.

"Dad, can we have our crane back? Go build a wooden table or something."
Donnie G That is exactly the thought that cme up to me in the last minute :)
Next step: a Matthias crane in wood
Yes, very tempting!
@@matthiasrandomstuff2221 Make it power wheels sized though so your kids can operate it from the inside!
Agree, a wooden model maybe to a similar scale to this, perhaps slightly larger would make for an incredibly interesting and detailed build.
@@matthiasrandomstuff2221 Didn't you already do that? As a mod on the wiper motor dozer? I often play your vids as white noise to sleep with, so possible I just dreamed it.
@@matthiasrandomstuff2221 And make it remote control with a raspberry pi & wifi!
This is why I love your channel. Yeah, you may be the best woodworker on CZcams. But in reality you're just a huge nerd that loves interesting machines.
Great job engineering this!!!!
Only Matthias would be able to change gear ratios on a Toy like that. So nice seeing the kids play around with it, as well as their Daddy................. 👍😂
Matthias: I'd love to see you in the BattleBots competition. Bet you'd have sponsors lined up outside your door.
You're still the best, man.
Excellent
Cranes are awesome
I worked for a company in the '00s that scrapped an entire single mast service rig because the modification to fix an engineering error way inside a complex weldment assembly was more than the project could bear. At least with Lego you can just take it apart.
Wow.
I can use this idea for my honemade hydraulic pump so i cab build like that too
Thanks sir
Thank you for captions!!!!!
agreed, the new lego is way to complicated to change or modify if you will. In '95 i got my first pneumatic technic lego set, was a truck with a pneumatic excavator with a grabber on the back, loads of fun, and could build almost anything with it and just put on air hoses for the cylinders and of to play with my new invention. good times :)
Does it have no torque, or are the gears slipping, therefore being basically being the same thing?
I still think your home built remote control skid-steer is better. That thing is amazing.
Great, and now add some of your "rapsbury pie" computer and remote control to really play with it.
When a polymath decides to dad.
Nice!
I have the exact same set!
Can you make the same parts from hart wood? Maybe double size?
I want that set so much... O.o
Yah, designing with Lego Technic us kind of a bitch. In August 2017 I built a Logo Turtle robot as a teaching aid for a high school robotics class. The initial design was done in about an hour using whatever parts my friend Bob brought with him. I didn't have access to the parts until a month or so later when some volunteers from the robotics class were going to make 12 replicas of it. In order to make the design more reproducible I pretty much had to redesign much if it, decomposing it into simpler subassemblies that could be built separately and then put together. That the most useful structural parts come in weird shapes doesn't help. Except for the struts and pins, the rest of the components seem kind of ad hoc.
K'nex has a smaller variety of pieces but it's much easier to design for them, even with the irrational dimensions.
Oh by the way the XL motor is significantly slower than the L or M so that may contribute to some of the qualities.
ah, yes, that would make a difference!
Hi Matthias,
awesome stuff, got this Set myself.
Will you release building plans / instructions of some kind?
Great work and keep those Lego Videos coming ;-)
Use the book that comes with it.
I love that you are so critical of the Lego designers.
Interesting toy Matthias but I like Andrew Camarata's crane better. It goes well with his castle.
Yes, crazy castle. Quite the construction. But he's putting an awful lot of weight on those shipping containers!
havent seen it but from a quick look he's stacking two high, not that much considering you can stack 8 high fully loaded (all cans have their own spec for how much load they can carry, weakest link towards the bottom of the stack sets the limit, Some supercarriers stack around 15 high or more.)
In a single container with a triaxle chassis you can load about 20 000 kg legally in the US (both for 20 and 40 foot), stack that 8 high and you have a buttload of weight. :)
Building with containers can be very dangerous because theyre engineered down to the details, modify the wrong thing or to much steel somewhere and the integrity is gone.
@@konzetsu6068 He's putting a lot of concrete on top and a metal roof still to come. I suspect it's still plenty strong and the concrete will just add to that strength in a way.
Nice 🖒
It's not "swiveling" , it's slewing :)
Br,
Mobile crane operator.
Cranes slew, toys swivel
Its one of the best models from last year's technic lineup. In most part for the parts.
The model is the most refined Technic crane set I've ever played with. It's genious.
@@VencelBiro its not a bad set, but there were better crane sets, and there were a lot of crane sets.
@@holydpower131 which if I may ask? I only have this one and the blue crawler crane (42042) which also is a good crane, but not as good as the red one imho
back in my day we just made solid block houses and cars :(
You should see the inside of LEGO in Denmark. The vast amount of pieces the designers have at hand to design things like this is staggering. Not to say they don't do things in CAD, but if you think that they didn't build, tore this down, rebuilt, added on, removed, rebuilt, a thousand times before this done I think you're mistaken. CAD is not the first tool they reach for when designing something like this, or any set.
Oh, I'm quite sure they build this many times, but when working out the details, I'm quite sure they do it in CAD. I find it's faster to build a prototype out of wood than lego technic, unfortunately. Because just like making stuff from wood, you have to think way ahead, or you have to tear the whole thing apart a bunch of times to make room for an extra pin or something.
@@matthiasrandomstuff2221 I have friends working in LEGO design in Denmark, from what they tell me CAD is brought in rather late in the process when most things are already worked out, unless of course you're making special pieces which are unique to that set, but that's a whole other ball of yarn that I'm not going to go into.
I think LEGO has become a little too specialized with all the parts personally. While there were less parts in the past that also made it somewhat easier to use, albeit the things one built ended up maybe a bit more bulky than they are now due to the lack of purpose made pieces. It's a double edged sword of sorts.
How long did u spend building this?
keep this up and Lego will be asking to hire you, Matthias!
You dont want to work for Lego technic, they are getting worse while increasing pieces.
Over 4000 pieces, some jigsaw puzzle.
WoW
If you made everything faster, can´t you just increase the ratio at the motor itself?
I didn't want to gear up the motor and then gear it back down.
Shout outs to the most brilliant mechanical Lego creator on youtube, xyzzzach
czcams.com/channels/D7nYO5lKtgCvC6z2vQjxyA.html
Some seriously amazing stuff on there going way back to the early years of youtube.
"I'm half tempted to buy and build that."
/looks up price/
"Nevermind."
you need your own youtube channel to fund such things
almost ASMR ....
Now this is a toy channel i can approve!
would love to see it with something like a 1/2 HP motor
looks super fun and much improved over the original with the gear mods
So it's all powered by a single motor? Thats a clever Lego transmission
yes, those technic kits are just full of gears and switchable gearboxes
@@matthiasrandomstuff2221 Actually some of the new Lego Technics kits (particularly the big ones) are equipped with multiple electric motors that are software controlled via remote bluetooth and smart phone apps etc. All very clever but all a bit 'black box' for me. Hardly any clever gearing or complex powertrains. I know it's the way real auto engineering is moving and it represents improvements in efficiency. But it does make the models significantly less interesting to build.
I can't tell if you're a genius, or a big kid. I think both. 😮
Stepped on my kids Lego while checking my phone to see if Mathias uploaded. Seems fitting.
It's a pity that you can't (at least in the UK) buy lego technic as seperate parts any more rather than for a specific model.
Not via Bricklink?
I bought that kit 11.5 months ago and left it nearly half built six months ago. It is a massive time commitment! Glad to see one working! 😊
yes, that's why I didn't think I'd build it. Watched a lego expert talk about it and he said it takes 6 hours. I think typical is 15 hours or more. I think I was closer to 6
No AFOL ever: "I didn't really want to spend all that time building it"
Imposter! XD
It is a shame that you can't just break a piece off, modify it and put it back. But to be fair, with the complicated old technic sets that was hardly ever possible, because of all the axles and gears. I think Lego just had to make that sacrifice to be able to gain rigidity and build more complicated sets that would actually work. With old Technic it wasn't easy to get multiple gears to work together.
Are we sure its for the kids to play with ? :)
Now to just build this out of wood.
Put a gerbox diarectli on the motor
Is your middle name " Pinocchio ", for the kids............yeah, OK !
First time i see a Matthias' video with no views, no comment 0_0
YT homepage : added 13 seconds ago
I must have refreshed the YT page too much today
BTW Matthias have you ever thought becoming an official Lego designer ?
might be cool for retirement :)
My trash account - I think CZcams IS his retirement lol
I think becoming a lego designer is too many people's dream job. Which makes it actually not a good opportunity, even if it was available.
@@matthiasrandomstuff2221 and you can't modify parts to what you need (probably shouldn't have said that in the LEGO group on fb)
You know what.. I'm more interested to you furniture at the last scene compared to the lego... Literally
I have an article about that table on my website.
@@matthiasrandomstuff2221 ooo that round dining table and also that L shape chair.. You should make more video about furniture. I like your woodworking skill while building it. Keep up the good work
Time to start building Izzy Swan's things. They're a lot bigger and so are the kids...🤣🤣
Time to start building Izzy Swan's things?
With his engineering background, Matthias would design and build his own!
Hey Matthias, if you decide to build the dinosaur, build a Godzilla instead.
Remember, it's never too late to have a happy childhood!
moc?
Why you say, it is for kids to play????
LEGO is going to headhunt you xD You actually improved the toy by making it a bit faster.
It's nice Matthias, but I prefer the things that you made in wood
Yup this is definitely a children's toy LOL. If I received it, it would remain in the box until the kids graduated from MIT.
You underestimate their power!
Wouldn't say so, although I have only 8 days of being a kid left, I still will build on after I turn 18
"I bought this crane for the kids..." --- uh huh...
Maybe listen to what I said in the video. You would know why I bought it (hint: Not for the kids)
I'd like to see what you could come up with using a 3d printer and lego!
@Neo Anderson He may have changed his mind considering his physical capabilities.
Just enough to keep the kids quiet. Practical as ever. BTW, the kids look amazing!
How many kids didnt have overly mechanical fathers, etc..... and if you got that for christmas by the end of january it would resemble a bunch of lost parts and batteries hooked up to motors that dont do anything?
At 4:40 I was really excited that I was about to hear Matthias say "I have a grip of parts left over"
oh well.
once you reach 99 years old your not allowed to play with lego anymore.
A foreshadowing of re-engineering this kit for experimental gear ratio changes? Perhaps externally mounted gears, or the last thing installed rather than the first?
There was a program called MLCAD or Mike's Lego CAD, used to use it with FIRST robotics. Not sure it still exists but worth a look.
Bought it for "the parts", sure. I believe that :p
Did that with the bucket wheel excavator, which I didn't build.
He bought it for the wheels to make small farming tractors for his kids, but the kids wanted the engineering side of Matthias more ;)
@@johnnychang4233 anf they got a half made one, not really nice imo
@@snepNL If I were a kid I would prefer the stripped down version, it would save me the hassle of disassembling it myself and look more interesting ;)
@@johnnychang4233 didnt look at it from that side. You got a good point there!
Haha got the same one for my father in law :D
Trying to crack into that kids watching people play with toys CZcams market.
Building and developing that model is a good lesson in design for serviceability as well.
serviceability probably wasn't a high priority when they designed it. Rigidity was though.
🥴 that moment when I realize, Lego makes better linear rails, than those on my CNC laser.
All because Matt wanted the wheels!
gonna edge in on Sariel's niche.
Gears. Matthias's first love.
I still wonder why you have not flanged a washing machine motor onto
the back 😂
But if you make something faster than it won't be realistic like the real one anymore. You no.
Switch to a faster motor
But why????
Building Lego with Matthias. Step 1. Toss out the instructions. Step 2: Make better instructions with CAD.
Stop, your having too much fun!
wow, that's slow even after you speed it up
Almost as complicated as the real thing!
Here's a real challenge:
Crawlers
Run the propel system off the swing system!
It's just saddening to see all those blue and orange pins, yellow and green lift arms, red, brown, and yellow axles, beige gears...
This set would look so much better if all they only used red, black, light and dark grey.
5:54 "for of my lego stuff at:" ? For more of my Lego stuff at: ?
Needs more wood 😠
Your gears are slipping!
