(well, I'm a bit late) Despite I have to say that there are a couple of pics that doesn't convince me totally, there are some that are wonderful and nailed it the complex shape! Hello, Lucio! I'm very pleased you found time to look thruogh and like my work! 1 hour ago, Lucio Switch said: I know that it's the bottom and none will see it (unless you are an EB member), but can I suggest to be more clean with all the pneumatic hoses? Of course you can! I appreciate your critics! Make sure I will consider this in my future projects supercars! 1 hour ago, Lucio Switch said: About the differential issues, I think that a gearbox is useless, yes it's cool and complicated, but it just decrease the performances. My Crane truck has 4XL motors a bit up geared that drive the differentials, and after that they are down geared on the portal hubs. So you increase the speed on the differentials but you will decrease the torque that they have to endure. No doubt U R absolutely right! I'm thinking of making my next truck driveable but without complex gearboxes like yours are. Edited August 31, 2017 by Aleh Quote
ThatOneBuilder Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 I'm not sure too many will be able to build this behemoth It's so well built, but yes the gearbox should change Quote

Many people built MOCs and put them on the shelf for ages... My next truck will be simplier but be able to drive... Promise 9 hours ago, LvdH said: That's great! This is one I'd love to build one day... Thanks mate! I'm very pleased most of AFOL community appreciates my 8 months of hard working... Edited September 5, 2017 by Aleh Quote

suffocation Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Really looking forward to the instructions for this. Using Buwizz would take some weight off while providing more power, so you could probably get the model to drive without having to ditch the whole gearbox. Quote

Just now, suffocation said: weight Weight equals aproximately 7,580 Kg inc. wheels, all PF 4 AAA and 12 AA batteries(!) PS: Wheels + rims from fuel tanks + all PF + Batteries = 2,230 Current weight will be publicated soon. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Huge and impressive truck! Totally cool! Quote

But here we have 10 unimog wheels, eight rims and tons of PF. Soon we'll know the current amount of the parts used.. Quote

ginger-snapped Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 This MOC is just breathtaking. It is one of the few trucks that actually has beautiful aesthetics. I am still amazed each time I look at the pictures. Quote

It is honorable for me to read you offer! But *.LDraw file does not exist, at least for now. And I'm afraid my PC is too slow to operate powerful lego building programs... Instruction is a PDF photo sequence.. Quote

Aleh Posted September 24, 2017 Author Posted September 24, 2017 Very high quality renders, good job! Quote
Charbel Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Woaaa so cool to see my gearbox in such an amazing MOC ! If you need a gearbox for your next MOC it would be a pleasure to work together to create a custom one. Quote
Blakbird Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Made some progress. 1112 parts now, but still a long way to go! I am starting to get the impression that this thing is big. Quote
AFOLegofan66 Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 It's huge...just finished the first pdf and amazed how many parts there are but a really fun build. I figure another week and I'll be done!! Quote
