The Lego 8416 set is one of the sets I liked, but rather to re-build than to buy. Insired by that, I wanted to build a small, compact forklift with a complex mast, featuring 3 sections extended by Jennifer Clark’s pulleys system. I have given up the suspension system to save space, and thus I was able to fit 4 PF Medium motors inside. Two of them control drive and steering, the third one tilts the mast forwards and backwards, and the fourth one pulls the string that activates the extension mechanism. The mast was able to lift up one full battery box, that is nearly 200 grams. I’m sure the system is capable of lifting more, given a stronger motor and slightly redesigned pulleys system.
This model offered an excellent complexity-to-playability relation.

Nie planuję.
Może odświeżysz ten model? Można by tu dać jakąś skrzynię biegów (jest zdecydowanie za szybki) oświetlenie, może nawet stabilizatory (nie wiem jak to się nazywa)
