[TC5] Pickup truck - 9393 alternative

[petcz]

Hello everyone,

this is my C-model for set 9393. It was created for [TC5] Technic C-Model Contest. I've used 343 parts out of 362

(including spare parts). It is a pickup truck with dump cargo bed with V4 engine under the hood.

There were high demands from the client (my 4 years old son) on the functionality.

Features:

• HOG + steering wheel (working simultaneously)
  
• opening doors (simple "lock" - half of the axle 4 fits in the door case - a small force has to be applied)
  
• opening hood (simple "lock" - beam 2x4 is locked by cross block 1x3 - a small force has to be applied)
  
• opening cargo bed
  
• soft chassis to simulate independent suspension
  
• 2nd HOG for dumping cargo bed and/or rotating axle for attachable accessories (disable dumping by shifting gear 8 aside from the worm gear)
  
• large attachable winch
  
• special "parking feature" for overcrowded cities :-)

Smart parking, that made me laugh

Very nice C-Model, too bad you don't have 4 big wheels!

Nicely done. Smart parking FTW!

[petcz]

Thanks. Smart parking was discovered by my son - when he disconnected the steering links, he started to laugh and I did not know why.

You are absolutely right - 4 big wheels would be really great for this model...

It looks good, and larger wheels would definitely work

You've built this truck very well. I didn't noticed at first sight it has different size of wheels. Would you show that V4 engine closer? I'm curious how it looks like.

Hi Tomik,

thank you for your comment. Here is the detail of the V4 engine - unfortunately there is not enough space to add some functionality.
