Thrust Bearings
The short story is I got interested in building thrust bearings recently and decided to build some.
The long story is I recently bought an already assembled crane. It took me about 10 minutes of playing to decide it had to be modified ASAP. The jib assembly was balanced by putting some weight on the battery/control module. The plastic spacers used in the slew bearing were replaced with ball bearings. I'll give my opinions on Meccano's design choices later.
I haven't seen this arrangement before if anyone has please let me know what model its in.
