42054 Alternate - Wheel Loader

42054 alternate model - Wheel Loader. Features two manual and two motorized functions. Instructions can be bought at Sellfy.

My second try on making one set MOC. I have decided to make a wheel loader, because Xerion comes with wheels that suits a wheel loader perfectly. The main goal was to have easy operated wheel loader, so I have decided to use gearbox that works like that used in 42042 - battery box turns the motor ON/OFF, levers controls functions and direction they works in.

There are two manual functions, which are Hand od God steering and grapple closing/opening.
Motorized functions are arm & grapple movement.

The biggest challenge while building this model was to have appropriate range of movement of the arm, while using only three small linear actuators with their short stroke.
