sapo117 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Hey sapo, the carts that you fill in Bricklink are saved on the client side in your current session. Your session duration is pretty long, as long as you don't close your browser. The second you close your browser, your carts will all be empty and you will have to start again. This is due to how Bricklink is coded. As far as I know, they have started thinking (and maybe even coding, but I don't think so) about Bricklink 2.0. I hope they implement server-side carts in the new version too, but we will have to wait and see until it goes live ... OK very clar now....even if I think it's really a big problem of BL. I hope in new version they improve this.... Medium difficulty I'd say. Enjoyable, but some steps could've used more clarification (for instance, construction of the dipper). Agree that some steps could be explained better but this is making also the building more intresting for me that I am a rookie of MOC...when I finish a step I try to verify the gearing if it's ok and I try to understand why this is made like this and so on.... Has anyone a simple extra parts required list for this as rebrickable is confusing. I have 8043 just want to know extra parts needed as I have some. I can easily make it for you, but I suggest you go to rebrickable and add your 8043 then click on build this MOC on the Ultimate and it will show what are you missing. Btw please find the xml ready for you attached. Watch out in the rebrickable file you will find the recharghable battery box as 87513c01 but I discovered the new and sealed one you find easier and cheaper on BL it's the 8878, that on Rebrickable it's identified as a Set and not as a Part. Anyway I am also building, we can exchange help if needed! Ultimate8043_extra_parts_out_of_8043.xml Quote
davidmull Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks sapo! I'm going too see what parts I have tomorrow and then order what I need, I have most I think , who's the cheapest selling the 8878 pack and charger ? Quote
sapo117 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 In Europe is Wasserman's Shop...even if he's going to take a little longer for delivery....I still didn't receive after 1 week...keep you updated Quote
sapo117 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Hi everybody, I have some progress and wow... Jurgen... you really want to make it hard for your followers about the boom construction Anyway...it's fun very fun....and is teaching me a lot! I just tried to link with an M motor to all the back gearing and everything seems working well so far...I'm on the right track Quote
davidmull Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Sapo is the boom construction not in the original booklet? Maybe jurgen can confirm this problem,iv heard others mention it too. Iv just ordered the extra parts,what a pain ha, also the parts are very expensive dam 8878 :( Edited January 21, 2013 by davidmull Quote
sapo117 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Hi David, yes, you need to follow the first part for the instruction of the lower part of the arm ( 1-19 book 2 pg. 45-72 ), then Jurgen tell us to replace step 1-15 book 2 pg. 59-68 for the higher part....then as magic the boom on Jurgen instructions is done ...so you need to figure out what is the step to connect the 2 parts of the boom. I also suggest to don't mount the 2 sided LA until you mount the boom on the body of excavator ( in the picture Jurger shows already assembled before ). I can give you one hint more, first the 2 pcs 1*7 Yellow thin, you might not recognize that the 7th ( or 1st ) hole is hided inside the connector of LA ( see below circle in PINK )...at the beginning I tought Jurgen has made mistake in the part list, but it's not. Another suggestion is to don't become mad if the instructions original have the long black axle ( see below circle in BLUE ) while Jurgen has done an extension ( but it's not explained, so you'd better stick to the instructions and I can guarantee everything is working ok ) Last last , if you didn't recognize, the upper 3 hole grey it's not a thick liftarm but it's 2 think liftarm with 1 hole in middle and 2 axle hole because it needs to stay at 90 degrees Any doubt please give me a signal....we are on the same ship!!! Iv just ordered the extra parts,what a pain ha, also the parts are very expensive dam 8878 :( Yes... I spent 56€ + 122$ total including shipment. What about you?

davidmull Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Sapo I payed around €85.00 for all parts including shipping, all ordered this morning. The 8878 is expensive but will be worth it in the long run, I already had the 2 extra motors, 1 pf lights and a spare remote Did ur 8878 arrive yet? Edited January 22, 2013 by davidmull Quote

It's a bit expensive, but you won't regret it. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I have the 8878 and also the AAA version.In the future I plan on getting another rechargeable battery box. I think It took about 2 weeks for the 8878 to arrive for me. Edited January 22, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan Quote

Not yet, the tracking said it's in Italy already but somewhere in the middle of nowhere BTW I only had 8043 parts, so I need to order everything.. The 8878 is a great asset to your collection. It's a bit expensive, but you won't regret it. Agree, very useful , also for those moc need to hide the battery with difficult access I have the 8878 and also the AAA version.In the future I plan on getting another rechargeable battery box. I think It took about 2 weeks for the 8878 to arrive for me. They shipped on 14th...let's wait and see, in the meanwhile I keep going on Quote
Jim Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Agree, very useful , also for those moc need to hide the battery with difficult access True! Although it's smaller than the normal battery box (AAA version), I would also love to see a rechargeable battery box with the shape of the AAA version. For some models it would be easier to have the same shape. Although using rechargeable AAA batteries is also a solution. Quote

Yes but when u buy rechargeable AA s and then a charger it nearly works out the same price as 8878 from brick link. I just ordered my 8878 off the same person I hope it doesn't take that long. He told me 3-5 day s to Ireland. Quote
Jim Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Yes but when u buy rechargeable AA s and then a charger it nearly works out the same price as 8878 from brick link. That's true. The 8878 is much much lighter than the AAA box by the way. It almost feels weightless, compared to the AAA box filled with batteries. I do still hope that TLG will release a rechargeable battery with the same form factor as the AAA box. It just seems so logical. Quote
CisFran Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Yesterday I received the first part of the brick I ordered on Bricklink ( that is everything except XL Motor, PF lights, extension wire and 8878 battery pack ) Hi Sapo and Davidmull, where did you order your additional parts? (Excluding electricals) I am currently browsing bricklink but certain sellers doesn't have all the items in the list and I want to order to a single seller for this modification...thanks!

I have ordered at your shop multiple times. Nice to know it's yours. If I remember correctly, shipping can take some time from French, even to the Netherlands. Always good quality though Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) No this is my shop..... I live in Scotland/UK not France. Best dig out a map Gekke Ted. Edited January 22, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
