Make sure to comment down below your favorite model of crane, whatever receives the most votes will be what I base the 3D model off of. Thank you so much for watching, you guys seriously rock!

[@Sergesadventures]

You’re making a crane! Lets gooooooooooooooo

Great Video! I can't wait to start printing all your rc projects! I would also love to see a capable forklift design. But for the crane I would love to see a model like the Liebherr LTM 1200.

[@professorboots]

Ohhh you can definitely expect to see a forklift here soon

[@cfffarms2727]

Amazing video as always. Now we need a bull dozer or road grader next!! Keep this series going!

I finished building this truck over the weekend (and the trailer). I had to make a little modification (with a Dremel :) ) for the dump lift motor to add a little more clearance for the back of the motor. No big deal. This thing is AMAZING! AND since the PCB vendor I used charges the same for 10 boards of this size or 5 I have the ability to build 9 more. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@camilistico]

This is fantastic I was looking for something that I could do for my son to understand what I do haha, as someone that builds roads for a living I would say you need: * Grader * Roller (multiple types) * Hammer attachment for the excavator * Franna (mobile crane) Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@oripaamoni]

What a great model! thank you so much! I ended up making my own PCB from a perf board to get up and running quicker. ended up using some 18650 I had already and a BMS for max run time haha. My 3 Years old is loving it so far. One change I made to the code was to initialize the Trim with -6 (3 clicks left) and I also have the trim buttons being disabled 30 seconds after boot. My son kept hitting the bummers on the xbox controller on accident which would eventually jam the servo and burn it out, went through 2 servos but since the change the replacement servo has been running strong. The PCB for the excavator comes today which is all I need to get it going, currently printing the trailer. Thanks again!

[@professorboots]

I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the models! Also sounds like you’ve made some improvements for your situation which is awesome! I hope the excavator build goes smoothly and that you(and your 3 year old) enjoy it as well.

[@r1nusV]

Awesome build! Your alterations on every move you make are really thoughtful and creative. Probably very complicated but this is my favorite lg1750 liebherr, because it builds the windmills.

[@J0ermungand]

That's a huge improvement in performance, nice! One thing I'd like to see is some space dedicated to installing a camera module, since those ESP32s can be used to build FPV models (I've done something like that with a 1/50th scale toy RC car and it's been more fun to FPV it around the house than I'd originally thought). I can imagine your models being a lot more fun in FPV than a simple racer.

[@cookingwithbacon9023]

i been waiting for a bigger one :OOOOO!!!! thank you. you like boss man of the cool toys we can build

[@professorboots]

Happy to oblige!

[@richards7909]

We might not want one at 72cm long. Doesn’t mean we don’t want you to make it that size! ;)

[@flegory]

Thanks for doing these projects and videos! I bought the mini skidi kit and it is fantastic!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, absolutely awesome build, I reckon a Franna crane would be fantastic mate, cheers

[@OscarAvery-kn2bb]

Can’t wait to see your next projects, great job these are so cool

[@professorboots]

Thank you!

[@lmarquis518]

Automating it to collect poop and then take to a “dump site” would be hilarious and awesome

[@CheapCheerful]

This is fantastic. Videos that inspire me to do things, learn things, are always the best. Thank you for sharing.

[@professorboots]

Of course, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Roobotics]

A thought for optimizing the printing topology, making the 'lip' of the dump bed a separate piece, would cut out the need for almost all support structures there, as well as remove the need for the weird tilt on an A1 or similar bed sizes.

[@anujv2909]

Love the new build, I recently built the RC excavator and it works great. The only thing I did not like in the entire build were the screws, these 2.6 screws were a pain to source in my country and they fell out multiple times, maybe the one I received were not the correct size and they were inconsistent, it would be great if your builds use standard M3 or M2 screws with M3/M2 heat inserts, they work really well with 3D printed parts and are easily available even locally.

[@professorboots]

Thank you for the feedback! I think I could definitely find a new screw solution to help prevent that problem. Look for it in the crane!

[@krisztiantkacs]

​@@professorboots I just made a miniskidi. And I used M3 screws and heatset inserts practically everywhere (thanks for the step files). It's an easy mod and absolutely worth the extra time.

[@Blacksheep909-t5u]

These are amazing! Finishing up my current project but damn, these are so hard to resist!

[@awesomecronk7183]

If burning up the track motors becomes a problem, you might consider adding a sensor of some sort, be it an encoder on the motor itself or a current sensor on the motor output, to detect stalls and cut or reduce motor power. Alternatively you might stick thermistors on the motors and detect an overheat instead. Nice to to see the dump truck scaled up!

[@danon-theautisticmaker8112]

Definitely one of the 4 wheel - 4 wheel drive & 4 wheel steer cranes with a telescoping boom. A Rough Terrain Crane - google it I'm telling you they're pretty sweet. Especially for outdoors fun, like u realized is so much fun with the upgraded MiniDump & that sweet Excavator u designed. Could even do a deviation in the build process to allow for it to be made into a telescoping forklift iteration instead of a crane. Heck I'd make one of each, that's what I'd do. Potentially increasing ur circuit board & other parts sales for you to boot, Professor Boots.

[@Lucas-qb3bs]

a telescoping crawler crane would be sick, you could even use existing parts from the excavator project to make it simpler

[@professorboots]

I agree that would be awesome

[@jasondaniels4976]

Ok. I know you want to do a crane but i double dog dare you to attempt the most amazing piece of equipment ever. THE FORWARDER!!!!!

[@pangit9999]

Awesome result, well done! Make the crane have a telescopic boom please!

[@cdx367]

​@@professorboots rough terrain is an off road type usually with a single person cab

@@PerseidArchimedes or just dual front steering now that i think about it a crane wouldnt have much use for rear steer

[@brandonbrown3600]

​@bmxscape rear steer has use, some mobile cranes have it for traversing tight roads and paths. It's typically independent from the front so they can walk the rear around a corner etc.

[@Fortinbra]

liebherr ltm 1200!!!

[@Sparkie904]

I saw one of these in person as a kid they are just as cool as you would think. And I was the same Hight as one of the wheels.

[@DryToaster-cw5cn]

What if you increase the price of all of them but prebuilt and in a prebuilt section of your store so essentially it’s a second product but same thing and prebuilt

[@bnblasercleaning]

Ironically your idea of the motor being in the hub is how some of them are actually set up

[@StevenWilliams-lb9tf]

Love how creative you are, I'm not sure what designs are available, but the one from terminator 3 would be good, and could maybe support wrecking ball attachment.. 😊

[@JodyMoreau]

I do want to print the truck and the excavator. Looks like so much fun. I used to haul heavy equipment for a living

[@superradmaker]

This is so cool! I want to build my niece a sandbox all of a sudden!

[@MIGHTYRAT]

Would be cool to see a crawler crane Or something that I really would like to see a telehandler based of Cat TL642D with stabilizers

[@TheStuartstardust]

Yes like a Manitou - for next project

[@everytoolashammer9427]

When loading a dump truck with a excavator you actually make a bench on top of the pile of material and load the truck by digging up the bench. Much faster!

[@onlygamer1939]

Can you make a bulldozer and a wheelloader? That would be an awesome addition to your fleet. Truly amazing projects and videos!!

[@shantok]

I'd say a 4x4 rough terrain crane. 4 wheel steering and telescoping boom. Would be a great addition to the fleet. Then hopefully next a dozer.

[@Spyguy-fo3ic]

While not technically a crane you should build a sky crane helicopter. It would be really cool to see how you do that

[@Bulbasaurprimez]

What program do you use for designing everything? Is it free? Please tell me. I wanted to make my own construction vehicle a, tractor scraper but with a large dump truck bed, and where do you buy all your motors and which ones for different torque and speed,thanks!😊😅

[@teslafalsch2255]

"öaf 19.403 hk ad" ein Lkw mit Kipp Funktion und Heckkran. Der Kran hat diverse Aufsätze wie hacken, erdgreifer und weitere. War ein riesen spaß den zu fahren und wäre cool diesen spaß auch weiterhin halt im kleinen haben zu können.

How about a telescopic all terrain crane with 3 or 4 axles and working outriggers.

[@professorboots]

That would be so awesome

[@PoonamSingh-jr4vp]

Could you make a Liebherr LR13000 crane, with counterweights at the back and a working articulating arm? Maybe it could use string to operate the arm so that all of the motors could be mounted lower for a low center of gravity?

[@professorboots]

That would be super cool, this is in the top runnings right now

[@CarEnjoyer85]

hey mate just making a suggestion to increase how well it drives maybe if you make it into a swivel chassis or have one of the axles on a hinge like a tractor it would be able to articulate over small bumps

[@2handsomeforlaw]

Awesome!! Love it!

[@kinaputtene9517]

AMAZING VIDEO!! I am so inspired, but there are two questions that i still have, what is the difficulty in making them(skidsteer, dumptruck and excavator) and what is the total or individual price for the electronics?😁

[@professorboots]

They range in terms of difficulty, with the skid steer and dump truck being pretty easy. The excavator is a little harder because there’s sooo many moving parts. Cost also varies depending on where you get your parts for example if you order everything on Amazon it could be up to 100$ versus ordering some stuff through aliexpress which could bring it down to 40-50$

[@kinaputtene9517]

@@professorboots okey tysm, I just might make them..

[@zertoil]

The interesting part about scaling the dump truck is that IRL most of those trucks have electric motors in each wheel. I'm surprised you didn't just do that for the rear wheels after putting motors in the front wheels.

[@Zdrapek]

Hey, I love it, and I thing I will made it, but how color of filament did you use? I thing it's bambu labs filament, but I don't know which exact color it is
