Its stated to use 8883 + 88000 as per the instruction.

Both looks to be having the same M-motor I think?

You may check out both First Hobby @ Sg Wang or BOB Mid Valley as I have seen few sets of the 8293 there.

For myself, I already bought my 8883 + 88000 some time back but still keeping with my MISB Ferris Wheel

Hey Steven long time no chat! Still with ur Elantra?
Get ur part here instead. Always cheaper than mighty.

http://www.brickssmart.com/lego-technic/le...tions-motor-set

this is how i did mine... i plan to use cake collar strips on the gap between the doors

pics are all we need

i just check back instruction for my fairground mixer, and it is same 8883 + 88000
but i use M motor from 8293 instead, and no problem at all...

i think should be the same for ferris wheel as well

from the instruction pictures, i can see there's gear reduction for motor, so M Motor should be no problem to turn the big wheel... even no problem for L Motor or XL Motor

and it looks like quite easy to put big motor in from the hand crane part...

for the battery box, the 88000 is easy for u to put it in base, but basically it is same with the battery box from 8293... maybe the difference of AAA or AA battery and design/size but both can use with the M Motor or any other motor nicely...

for the battery box from 8293, have to put aside, which may look not so nice overall, or u can add some extra part to make it can put on base...

just found back my old picture of my fairground mixer

the RC part is just there for me to control the speed

speaking of speed, there's one battery box, similar with 88000, but with speed control build in, so no need to use RC part like what i did...
BTW, normally like this should be a lot of technic sifu here post something
but now it seems only me
i was about to post this shop name
not sure is this shop the best price, but it is near my office

you're welcome
just to share info here

and yeah, i almost forgot the extra part from the 8293
it do have a light, a switch, and some gear

and SBrick do have speed control as well...
when it first release, i quite interest with it, but after seeing the price and i don't found anyone selling it here...
(i don't think anyone want to order/sell this SBrick here)

u mean 1000+ brick is there any single set that have 5 digit amount of bricks
not sure about other theme, but technic so far around 4000 only...

and the grand carousel, u mean 10196?
i do not have this set, i only have 10244 fairground mixer...
what i like 10244 is u can make everything back to truck form and travel around

the grand carousel i think already not release by lego, so hard to find one...

now to look back, the fairground mixer is my first expert set, probably my biggest non technic set...
or maybe 70403 Dragon Mountain can be my biggest non technic set as well (the dragon is tall )
somehow, recently post make me want to grab this 10247 ferris wheel

To those who are interested:

BuWizz

It's a combination of battery and receiver, similar to SBrick. Battery is rechargeable.

Guys, any recommended way to display long modular buildings? 5 sets now and counting. Detolf just won't make the cut here.

bro mind to share spec and design?
I am looking for a cabinet to fit in lego and hot toy too

Get Billy from Ikea..

thanks for sharing

i saw quite a few of lego store that selling at retail price have it...
but the shops that selling a bit cheaper from retail price no stock

I hope the ferris wheel still available for some time... if end of life, gonna give up this set...

Wa sai damn efficient. I was about to ask for pics
Super nice. U know the damage?

Steven, Amcorp shop on relocation sale for ur motor part

Yup freaking good. My friend have whole modular set.
1)Only the minifigure cacat. Can always buy separate ori minifigs.
2)Base plate also tend to curve upwards at the corner. That also easily solve by buying extra layer fake baseplate.
3)transparent bricks not that crystal clear.

Other than that, u can't differentiate from Lego.

Oh ya, instruction booklet sucks. Just download ori from Lego and use
