42030 - Volvo L350F MODs and Improvements

[efferman]

it seems a bit early, but we know how it looks and know its dimensions, so we can go to improve it:

first planetary drive for more power

now how it works

[jantjeuh]

No.1 improvement: replace servo by 2 x mini LA.

[Milan]

No.1 improvement: replace servo by 2 x mini LA.

Or reduce servo's speed by factor of 2 or 3 via gears.

[Zerobricks]

Or reduce servo's speed by factor of 2 or 3 via gears.

That can be done only electricaly, if you added more gearing you'd loose steering angle.

I meant through gearing. It would lose some steering angle, but we were already discussing that 30 degrees for this kind of vehicle is enough,

[efferman]

in fact the L350 F has in real 37° steering angle so a 8:20 ratio would fit nearly perfect

[Milan]

And we would have almost perfect steering speed.

[efferman]

is someone sure about the width of the 42030? my second counting is 21, how much studs wide is it when you are counting?

my first counting was the same width of my own loader 23 studs but it seems a bit to wide in relation to the tires

Shouldn't these kinds of threads appear after the set is out? That planetary gear. Can it be made without destroying the turntable?

[efferman]

it is later without problems usable as turntable. the dissasembling is possible without damages

[EyesOnly]

Great news. Too bad it uses 2 turntables per wheel. I would like to use it on my truck but don't have anywhere near the correct amount.

[Eigenbroetler]

i think i will build it as they designed it, maybe if krooshop makes an "ultimate" i will consider rebuilding it.

[GoldVillage]

it depends if we counting holes or studs xD the tires are the unimog ones 12x5 studs? (about) so yes, 22 studs or 23 holes is my guess

[efferman]

my interpretation of the front carriage. PF-L for bucket lift and bucket tilt and planetary gears for drive. unfortunately the 6x6 dishes are not available in yellow

it should be one stud less in width in relation to 42030

edit:

not sure about the atachment points of the bucket but this is the my version of the bucket arm

[efferman]

holy moly, what a huge thing

and the I six too

and a wheeled loader should have a pendular axle

[Rishab N]

Nice work efferman! WIll you make the steering by acuators eventually?

[efferman]

sure, what else

size comparisation

and better integrated actuators

Hé Efferman,

Would like to see instructons for modification with the mini L.A's when you have done it on the Original model.

I'm gtting this set as soon as my sitiuation lets me.

I am in love with this set already, because I love heavy construction equipement.

[efferman]

please remind me in august when the set is available

btw, its ready for digging

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

family photo

which one has the more chunky backside?

Hello Efferman,

I Will do that, because if I buy this set, it will have to steer nicely as well.

The hubs with the planetary gearing, I don't think I will use that, but the rest seems very nice.

Christian

Ps: And where did you get the tyres on the wheelloader on the right, seem to be more in place than the ones on the 42030?

[efferman]

Hi christian,

The thirdparty tires are gmade mt 1901 and they should be available at good sorted rc dealers

[D3K]

Looks great!

Any problems whatsoever with the steering setup?

[efferman]

Only one problem. The white clutch gear slips only in one direction. So i have to the one side a cracking noise of the internal la clutch when they are at the end, and to the other side not.

[Lakop]

Good job. I really need to build a loader.

[Rishab N]

Nice work! I think i'll implement the acuator steering once i get this set
