Did you get the remotecontrol with the truck and powerfunktions?

@derman011

No, the remote control and IR receiver does not come with the truck. I used the remote control and IR receiver from another set.

[12RYAN32LIAM]

i done that except i have the 8043 excavator and i have a seperat ir speed remote wich i used for truck and no mods on 8043

[donaldwave69]

[Planetman83]

How many M-Motors and XL-Motors did u use?

To bad they dont sell this in the U.S.

[Planetman83]

How many XL motors and M-motors did u have to use?

[darkenmaze]

did the power fonctions come whit the truck?im going to have one the 19th August.Can you sent me a message?

[paanjang16]

@darkenmaze

There only power functions that came with the truck is the XL motor, pole reverser and battery box. I had to take the IR receiver, M-motor and XL motor from another power function set to motorized it.

@rokenbok101 I have dissembled my 8258 a long time ago and did not take any pictures of the modifications.

[paanjang16]

However what I did is similar to what was done by someone on mocpages.com. Look for "8258 motorized". I tried adding the link into the post but apparently cannot post when there is a hyperlink in the post. 

[rokenbok101]

please post instructions on how to motorize

[hamiltonds]

theres been problems with the ir speed controller so it might be a while before they start selling it

[iPhoneSDKDeveloper]

is there somehow to control the truck from a computer??

[lekkervoorje11]

paanjang can that crane lift something would you make a film of it ? ;-D

[legodude12345678]

can you send me a video of you puting in the moters and things so I can do it my self

[animatorSimen]

@legodude12345678 if can build that truck, you can insert the motors. its not that hard. like he said, the xl-motor where the engine was and the m-motor where the steering is (like under the black circle-thing you use to steer with you hands)

[legodude12345678]

does it do that when you get it or did you put in an extra motor to turn the wheels?

[paanjang16]

It does not have remote control out of the box. I used parts from my monster dino creator set to motorise it. Replaced the V8 with XL motor and add in a M motor for steering. Also add in the IR receiver.

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

Can you drive it straight? Does the steering return to center so you can drive straight?

[paanjang16]

No, the steering does not return to center.

[sondresvan]

u can make it turn slower by changing the gears

[YoungJDogg]

Looks good and seems too function well enough.Nice:)

[321bryce]

use the IR speed remote

[paanjang16]

I wish I could, but the IR speed remote is not available locally in Malaysia unfortunately :(

[Lego464]

to slow down the steering you could put in more cogs

[Lego464]

isnt the steering too fast
