  1. Is this your build? Or someone else, like every other on your web page?
  2. By using Brickshelf, Flickr, Bricksafe?
  3. Put a 1kg (or two) on it, and then try.
  4. Nope. Maybe in the next truck :)
  5. Some time ago I have built this: MAN TGS Tipper Truck by M_longer, on Flickr It wasn't bad, but it could be improved. This 2.0 version has the same amount of PF motors (XL for drive, Servo for steering, and L for elevating the dump bed), but elevates tipper bed to back, not to side. AL mechanics and wires (which are awfull to generate in Lsynth, by the way) are presented on this render made by Blakbird: More renders can be found at my Bricksafe: http://bricksafe.com...GS with trailer It may be not visible on the first look, but whole truck has been redesigned and rebuilt from scratch. It has a lot more details, like full cab interior, spare wheel, and working front lights. When first version was presented, I thought that it could be nice to have something that could work with it. I had two loaders, but nothing to transport them. And I decided to built a trailer for that. It is based on 4 axle drawbar trailer made by Schwarzmuller: It has only one function, lowering/raising the rear ramps. It is achieved by single, manual operated small linear actuator. And a bonus; pictures made by my friend, showing this truck with my Volvo L250G in action: And here you can see how it all works: Both models come with full, step by step instructions. You can find them at MOCPlans.com. Example pages:
  6. 4 pumps in a row? It will be small, but not efficient as 2+2 option. I am using this one in my two truck and it performs very well: But it depends on how many space do you have. Pumps and motor could be not used as a single module, but for example, placed on both sides of the model, to use space more efficiently.
  7. You have linked to movie showing an autovalve with compresor. And your question was about compressor without valves. So? What exactly are you looking for?
  8. Thank you :) Please note that making such models would be difficult without studless parts. For example, this winch from TGS tow truck: It probably could be build with using only "old" parts, that 9v system likes so much, but it will be much bulkier and weaker. Liftarms and connectors, widely used in Technic sets in past few years, allows to make things smaller and stronger. On the other hand, I do not like exterior "shells" made from technic parts only, so I use those "old" parts, that were used in Technic sets in past, like technic bricks and plates, because it allows me to connect studfull body (well, at first look is also studless, because I use tiles in large quantities) to studless frames. Both, liftarms and technic bricks have pros and cons, but it depends on where you want to use them. My last model, that was built for the TGS dump truck, is a drawbar trailer, designed to be able to haul heavy models. Its frame is almost completely made from technic bricks and technic frames (with studs) for maximum possible ridigity. Frame made from studless parts bent under the load. And that combination works perfectly for me.
  9. Your model can be built after watching that movie. It is simple and small, so it will not be a problem without instructions.
  10. https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=fasblok&itemID=45231808
  11. More? It has: - steering - suspension on both axles (rear dragged axle with shock absorbers) - front winch with windup motor (which is also brilliantly designed, because it is operated by pushing bull bar in front) - openable doors, bonnet, and rear door - all packed into realistic looking model, which can be rebuild into two other models within single set (yes, I know that you can build anything from bricks, but there are instructions for three models in each Creator set) So tell me, what else would you expect from Model Team 2.0?
  12. TLG will not return to using technic bricks. They will be used where there's no other option (for example, in City/Action Themes). And in some specific places in Technic models (like boom from 42009). But you can build your own models with using Technic bricks only...
  13. Yes. I did not liked side tipping. Whole truck is completely rebuilt. Chassis has 3 motors, XL for drive, Servo for steering and L for raising the tipper bed, just like the first version, but it's the only thing that these two have in common. Cab has now interior, with seats, steering wheel and a dashboard. In overall, I've added more small details, like third steps under the cab, Four axle trailer mentioned before also have instructions, almost finished:
  14. I am really curious about how it will look. Post some images and a movie with finished steering module.
  15. Ok, now tell me, how are you going to connect steering motor to it?
  16. Even when it will reach 10k votes, it will not pass the review stage. Why? Because there will be a Creator F40 released in this year.
  17. Hi, wrong forum.
  18. Yes, but I can't say when. I have a lot things to do lately and playing with bricks is not one of them :(
  19. I am using MLCad and LPub. And no, there are no instructions for the Volvo, because I don't have time to play with any real or virtual bricks lately.
  20. Oh they DO exist :) Nissan Navara or Mitsubishi L200:
