Lego Technic Mobile Crane
" 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. "

LEGO Power Functions Light
" I brought the lights as I wanted four lights on the front of set 8053 Mobile Crane. I added it to the battery box set 8293. It was a very good add on to my starter set (8293) and was very easy to install into the set. I highly recommend this item to anyone who has Lego Technic and wants to add more lights or any Lego builder that wants light up his Lego models.

LEGO Power Functions Transformer 10VDC
" I use allot of batteries up on Power Functions so I decided that this LEGO Power Functions Transformer 10VDC was a good buy. It makes sure that you never have to buy any batteries again. It is very good for saving allot of money on batteries and charges in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. It may seem a bit expensive but it shall save you allot of money so is a very good buy and I highly recommend it to anyone who has Power Functions.
For more information on power functions check out my other reviews. "

Lego Power Functions
" After buying Lego set 8053 I decided to buy Lego Power Functions.
I did this as it was recommended in the back of the instruction booklet. As there are simple instructions and Lego site videos showing how to use the Power Functions and simple instructions from set 8053 it was easy to install them into the set. I believe that the price for the set was fair and was not a rip off. I highly recommend this set to any Technic fan or advanced Lego builder. I have also purchased add ons that are able to connect to the power functions I have.
Check out my other reviews for more information on different power functions. "
