LEGO® TECHNIC® Mobile Crane 8053
By Brick
Lego Technic Mobile Crane
Instructions
the instructions were very easy to follow and a bit challenging when you make the crane Technic clogs all work together. But are very easy to read. There are 3 instruction booklets and the set is in two different numbered bags. Bags one make the vehicle and bags numbered two make the crane. At the back of book three there are instructions to show how to add power functions.
Building
Building was challenging as you have to make sure that you have followed all of the steps exactly. There are lots of pieces to this set so you have to order all of the pieces. I managed to make this set in 6 hours on a Friday night. So it is a fairly long build.
The Set
The set is amazing. I love the way you can steer the tyres from the back of the vehicle. The four extendible outriggers are also found on the back above the steering clog to allow you to be able to sturdy the crane. The crane is very cool as you can change three gears to make it work. Gear one makes the crane go upwards. The second gear releases the string and on the other side it extends the crane even more outwards. The hook works and the string also works very well. The cranes driver seat actually tips back and the interior in the front of the vehicle is good. The doors at the front of the vehicle both open allowing a driver and a passenger and even a steering wheel is added on the front. The chairs in the front look cool and the way the power functions work on this set make this set the best Technic set that I have ever owned. The set is sturdy and looks amazing on display. This is the set to get if you love Technic Lego and want a challenge.

Super Crane
By Hathor
This is one of Lego's newest Technic kits. It will build into a most impressive mobile crane. It has eight wheel steering, extendable outriggers, extendable crane boom, extendable lifting hook. It can be motorized with one of Legos power function M-motors.

Lots of fun
By Classic1500
I bought this kit for my son, and he's had a lot of fun with it, many hours of entertainment.
None of the Technic series Lego's come with the electric motor with them, that has to be bought seperate.
