Hi, re: http://goo.gl/7PXCwu

To someone who build it, there's a crane at the end of this truck, is it movable/extendable?

If not, is there an after-market crane available and from "whom" will I get it?

Please?

The crane can be built to be movable. It is very basic though. If you want a much more detailed one, Pro Art makes one, along with a few other AM sets for HMMTTs.

Good pics of the system here:

Indeed, Pro art models has released two items of crane, the first for M977, available. But the second for M985 is not available any more.

Wow, lot's of info. And at the same time, my desktop computer blew up almost between my feet and not very far from my family jewels.

I'm now on a Dell Latitude D600, computer dating from the Boer War.

and i will have to juggle where the little money I had to get the HEMMT will now go.

Don't you hate that burned wires smell.

Guys, thank you a lot. It might all have been useless. but I'm not even sure anyway if I have enough cash since I don't know what burned.

My frikkin life sucks so much.

Guys, thank you for that ProArts site. It's nutz! Love that site's stuff. Amazing.

@Dario: will have to take time to google translate your place. If I understood you: you did it by yourself? Thank you too

@Gino and Alex: Thank you too for the Proarts place. I simply love it. Except for the euro exchange rate to CAD$ funds. lol

In a few months, you and I are going to get to know each other REAL WELL Dario! I now have something to shoot for as I attempt to build pretty much the same thing
