An alternate build for the 42078 Mac Anthem truck, featuring a wheeled excavator and its trailer.
Here is a list of functions:
- Steering with HOG from the back
- Manual stabilizers
- Front blade with mini-LA, controlled from the back
- 180° rotation of the turret
- Articulated boom, controlled from the turret (2 LA + 1 mini-LA)
- L6 fake engine in the turret, driven from the rear train (with differential), with a transmission going through the turret
- Openable cabin door and motor hood
Features of the trailer:
- Tipping of the bed (via gear rack)
In the end there are quite some parts left, but very little gears.
