The Technic Tow Truck is amazing. Kmart used to have so much stock of this set and I waited and waited until one day it was just $130. It's the largest Lego set I've built. Took a good 8 hours over two days. Tonne's of gears and moving parts:
Here it is with Leader TFM Prime and Classics Prime (also that little black splotch is a minifig [Clawdette]):
Six cylinder engine with working pistons and "hand of god" steering:
Pneumatic lift up back along with two stabilizers operated by a "hand of god" knob at the cabs roof:
Outstretched crane:
Technic Excavator and (motorized) Cherry Picker with Leader TFM Prime and Classics Prime:
The excavator, digger outstretched. Uses two actuators and can be modded to be motorized:
The Cherry Picker. Not the biggest truck but it's pretty tall when fully stretched. Comes with a motor:
As for the flaking stickers problem... How long have you had the set for? Do you store/display it where a lot of heat is generated (eg next to a heater or under direct sunlight)? When putting on stickers, ensure the surface is dust free and oil free. Avoid touching the actual sticky bits with your finger as skin oil will adhere to it. Also what is the sticker like? I have never heard of stickers cracking with touch. Especially for a set that is not too old.
