[MOC] Front Loader Compactor Truck

[MrTekneex]

Hello eurobrickers!

I am glad to present to you my latest model. It is a front loader compactor truck.

The model is composed of approximately 3,000 pieces, with motorized functions and pneumatic system.

The 6 motors (2XL and 4M ) control the following functions:

- drive (actual speed ratio 1:9, slow to drive cause i wanted more precision for catching of the box)

- steering

- pump compressors

- packer panel / ejector panel

- tilting cab

- loader arm - hopper opening

All functions are RC, excluding the air valve levers that control:

- pneumatic forks

- tailgate

Other functions:

- Fake V8 engine

- Openable doors

- 2 differential

- Second axle with 4 wheels

Probably in the future I will create building instructions.

Here is the video.

Thanks for posting this, you have done an amazing job to fit some many functions in to this model. I tried to build something like this in late 2013 / early 2014, it was no where near as good as this is :)

Really great work! I love garbage truck MOCs as there are not many of them. Also maybe its the terrain but I thought that it was struggling to drive a little bit

Edit: Can this be put in the Hall of Fame?

Great work .

Wow wow wow!

Way cool, Never seen such a detailed garabage truck. Because the instructions of your awesome C model tow truck of 8258 are fantastic i can say right now: if you make BI then i will buy them.

Magnificent! Great work on an unusual model. Always nice to see some more pneumatics in a new MOC.

It looks awesome! Great job. Can't wait to build it myself

[Foggy]

My god, amazing model with lot of functions! Usually these trucks have the 3rd axel steered, have you thought about doing it instead of the fixed and with diff that you made? And another think, am i wrong or it seems slow at drive?

[Zerobricks]

I am really impressed! One wuestion i noticed one function needed manual gearbox control? Can you also motorize that so the model is 100% RC.

Wow, this truly is an amazing truck. You have packed a lot of features into this model. I really like the loader and the opening hopper.

Your image was 1280 pixels wide though, which exceeds the limit of 1024 pixels. I have linked to a hosted image on my own Flickr account. Feel free to resize your own image and change the link back to your own image.

very cool, as all your previous trucks.

Yes, you're right: rough terrain

Thank you Jim, and sorry for the error: fixed!

What looks like a gearbox are actually the two levers of the valve ;) (one by side)

The model who inspired me hasn't the third steered axle. Yes, is slow to drive because i wanted more precision for catching of the box.

The actual speed ratio of the drivetrain is 1:9, but using a 8879 remote speed controller and changing the ratio to 1:3 this would improve.

I think that 1:3 is perfect, the model for move needs a lot of torque, due to the weight)

[Balrog]

Very cool

[MrTekneex]

To all: thank you very much!!!!!! :classic: :classic: :classic:

Amazing MOC! Great functions and clean lines. I guess the only question is over the drive. Not so much the speed, from my point of view, but the apparent jerkiness of the motion. I'd still build it in a heartbeat, if I had the pieces! Obviously, the heartbeat would be for decision making not actual build time

Great work

[Edwin Korstanje]

Stunning MOC with great functions and good looking .

[JGW3000]

Aesthetic and functional. BI, please!

[MrTekneex]

Aesthetic and functional. BI, please!

This time it will be very hard to make building instructions, due to the amount of the parts (my old pc can't support the rendering) & the presence of the pneumatic tubes.

However, I believe that one day I'll make it! :)

If You really like this model you can support it @ LEGO Ideas!

one suggestion: Maybe you could mount the cylinders for the tail gate inside... would be a cleaner look... thoughts?

[Lakop]

Great model! I can imagine people having fun with that. Love the mix of pneumatics and LA's and it looks great too.

I've really been hoping for a functional and realistic garbage truck in the Technic line. This looks great!

[barman]

WOW, this is absolutly amazing Great working model, the functions are all working wonderful and good looks too.I think the best garbage truck I have seen so far.

It would make the model perfect is you are able to make de 2 pneumatic functions 100% remote controled by using 2 auto-valves. Herhaps you can use the extra channel for the cab tilt. Cabines are always tilted by hand, so you could simple power the tilt function through a PF switch where a pneumatic switch now sits.

IMHO this unique and awesome built model should become a member of the Hall of Fame...
