    Idea: Can you make a truck that comes with this set, in which the excavator puts the sand or whatever it wants to, and then the truck can go wherever it wants and drop the sand? Like a dump truck which has a bed that bends down to drop the sand, and has a flap on the end to stop the sand from falling out?

    Hey just a recommendation from someone who works on this type of hydraulics everyday. The rod side of a cylinder has less volume than the piston side because when the cylinder is all the way open obviously the rod isnt inside of the cylinder so you may want to add a water tank with a breather to avoid excess pressure build up when all of the cylinders are sucked in or to avoid the pumps running dry when the cylinders are all the way out. Otherwise great job love to see it.

    I hope Lego makes a bigger, more functional excavator like this with a bucket like yours. The excavator was always one of my favorite pieces of heavy equipment.

    I love that the bucket wobble makes it seems as though it's had 20 years of hard maintenance free labor.

    It is obvious from the insane level of detail in everything, the LEGO design, the cinematography, the video quality, the humor, everything
    that you really enjoy this, all of it.
    Thank you, for everything that you do. 🙇
