Blakbird Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I'm afraid I don't have that information. As discussed previously in this topic, the best idea is to get a long length of hose and cut to length on installation. Go back a few pages and you should be able to find the discussion. Quote
czl663 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 looking for hose sizes hose: outΦ 4mm，inside Φ1.5mm you can find third party hoses like hoses for medical use. I bought 200m PP hoses but find it is too rigid. Quote
Therion Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) I did some guess-work by looking at the instructions: black hoses: 2x 2L, 4L, 4x 6L, 8L, 9L, 12L, 15L, 20L, 30L, 34L, 50L, 60L, total = 270L (216cm) blue hoses: 2x 2L, 2x 5L, 6L, 12L, total = 32L (26cm) lbg hoses: 2x 3L, 4L, 8L, 32L, total = 50L (40cm) Please note that I might be a little off sometimes. I'll post a more accurate list after building. You can buy cheap hoses here: www.blokbricks.com Edited September 18, 2013 by Therion Quote
Therion Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I spend last weekend gathering all the pieces. Next weekend I can start building this beast! Quote
skriblez Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 So many parts for just one moc! How much did you spend on the parts? Quote
Therion Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Not too much, about 200 euros for 1200 missing parts (including some expensive electrical extension wires and lights). Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Wow that is a lot of parts! Could you post some WIP photos as you build please? c: Quote
Doc_Brown Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Not too much, about 200 euros for 1200 missing parts (including some expensive electrical extension wires and lights). Sweet! Please post pics of your build. Quote
Therion Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 So far so good, not even halfway the instructions... There are a few more pics on my brickshelf, as soon as it's public... Quote
czl663 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Therion goes a llittle further than mine. I am still waiting for the old style pneumatic cylinder. Quote
Therion Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Some more building pictures. Took a while to get all the wires and hoses optimized, and making sure everything is working ok before closing up the body. A few more pics on my brickshelf, as soon as it's public... Quote
CisFran Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Yes, suspension on all axles. Check page 1 for pictures Quote
Blakbird Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 W. o. W. does it have suspension? Yes. All axles are suspended using rubber bands for springs. Looks like he doesn't have them installed yet. Quote
Therion Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 The rear axles have them installed as you can see in my first post with building pics (2nd pic), but I ran out of rubber bands... monday I will do the front axle. Without the front rubber band, the steering axle will sometimes pop off because of too much play. Quote
Therion Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Almost finished! Lost quite a bit of time when I found that the motor that lowers/raises the hooks wasn't working... had to open up the backside to fix the problem (a connector got loose). Quote
Rishab N Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I really wish i had all the parts to build this beautiful truck. Buying them would be way too expensive Quote
Lakop Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Well done. You've done it. That's one to display. H Quote
czl663 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) First of all, great thanks to Dikkie and Blakbird for this model and instruction. I am a great fan of this truck. When I am building this truck following the instruction, I found a problem of the front wheel. This truck is using rubber band as shock absorb. The rubber band go through a hole of a "brick with holes" and then hooked on the submodel of the front wheel. (page 59 of the instruction) By following the instruction, it works well for the front wheel but when I go to page 240, a 6180 tile is attached to the "brick with holes". The rubber band then can not hook the 6628 towball any more through the hole of the brick as it is blocked by the tile. The consequence of this not functional rubber band is the front wheel submodel loses the shock absorb. When sterring the front wheel, the universal joint linking the front wheel steering and the 2nd wheel submodel will be pushed out due to the resisdence. Anyone who has built or is building this truck has the same problem? Or I just miss something on the instruction? Edited October 18, 2013 by czl663 Quote
dikkie klijn Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 The rubber band is supposed to pass through the brick with holes to come out on the outsides, then go down to the towball. The tile should not create a problem. Quote

The tile should not create a problem. Thanks for your answer. Got it. I should use one rubber band instead of two separately. Quote
