This was because the piece was experiencing tension. LEGO has since offered a full refund or Shop@Home credit. They also offered to send a more efficient replacement part. People who bought the set have been given a £10.00 store credit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since then, a service package has been released and sent to owners of the powered excavator. The package includes 4 new linear actuators, 2 blue shaft pins, 1 3M shaft with stop and 1 shaft and pin connector perpendicular 3L with center pin hole. There are also updated steps 33 and 36, where the parts (excluding the LAs) are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This set contains the most mechanical actuators in a set to date, namely four.\u003cbr\u003e This set has the most Power Functions in a set so far, nine in total. \u003cbr\u003eThis is the second TECHNIC set that can be fully remote controlled with Power Functions; the first is 8275 self-propelled bulldozer.\u003cbr\u003e One of the final color testing prototypes was in orange instead of yellow, but yellow was chosen for the production set.
