[efferman]

beside of dokludis genius replica of 42030 , myself has made an enhanced replica of the Volvo L350F

First some impressions:

the actuators for steering

the batterybox sits one stud more in front and now the the rear bumper is closed

rubber connector to secure the mudguards

complete open for maintenance

the underside

maybe the seat is to big or the cab is to small

and a video with some digging

[Alasdair Ryan]

I like the changes to the rear.

[Zerobricks]

Good work Effe! You also increased the upper range of the arm?

[efferman]

I am surprised that steering via the Mini-LAs is quite fast. Well done.

[efferman]

thats the doubled rpm of the L motor. one to one is to slow

[dokludi]

Thank You Effe!! Very very good replica MOC!!

[JopieK]

Nice works, maybe add some gear protection though!

[efferman]

gear protection?

[Dafgek81]

I think he meens the white clutchgear that TLC uses in al their models with PF

[efferman]

i have one in the steering system, unfortunately it slips only to one side

[D3K]

I like this a lot more than the official model!

Great work, and in such short time!

[750ACE]

Now that is what I'm talking about. The range of motion for the bucket is 10x better than the recent videos we hand been seeing if the 42030.

[Dafgek81]

I did not know that they only work one way, i thaught the worked two sided.

[efferman]

maybe they work on two sides, but on one side the clutch of the LA is faster

[efferman]

the LDD file is finished 1864 parts - 150parts for the 3 fake PF-L

Will Legos model crunch gears like that?

Love the LA steering well done ;)

[efferman]

maybe the clutches on 42030 will less stressed, because my drivetrain to the bucket tilt actuator is very short and i use a L motor instead of the M. the 42030 uses 2 more gears and longer axles to get the power to the actuator. the crackling noises in the video are complete clutch noises

Is there a need for an L motor for the bucket as it's not under much load?

Do u think ur model is pretty much the same as 42030 and if so what's ur opinion on the model?

[efferman]

if you want dig in sawdust the L motor is neccessary. if you want only digging in lego pieces a M should be enough.

in relation to dokludis replica mine does only look like 42030. the driving speed is nearly the same, steering works much better. lifting the arm is faster and strong enough.

so i think for playing inside only the steering mod is neccessary
