Hi everyone! My first of a few c models from my claas, I made a small Mini Track loader, using 300 parts maybe. I will be making more c models, maybe larger ones. It has: Smooth liftarm tracks Arm movement Bucket movement Cabin Control sticks Rear engine cover opening Engine removable I had a lot of fun fiddling with it, and looking at it. I hope you like it too. I also got a new backdrop for 69 cents! Tell me if you like the new backdrop! How is it, and tell me anything to improve! -
Hi there! my latest moc is a mini track loader. it has a funtioning front blade, tilt, lift, and a rear cabin door. This was built to be like a lego set, and use color vomit in areas. I may make a b model, to make it like a real set. My neighborhood is also getting repaved, and they were using one, so it works. enjoy, and comment thoughts. instructions and parts list uploading. here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-2NrU9MqJ-WSXpHR3VjY2p5R1k?usp=sharing

Hi, It's my first time to join the Eurobricks Contest. When I read the details of the TC22 Contest, this MOC (CAT Skid Steer Loader) was already WIP for months. My last tune is to tackle the size restriction (10000 cubic studs). Finally it's done and the main features are: - Total no. of pieces is around 900 - Around 1/16 to 1/17 scale; works well with the 42114 Volvo Articulated Hauler - 4WD with a modified transverse subtractor by Sariel (http://sariel.pl/) - Requires a BuWizz 1.0/2.0 or CaDA or Mould King remote battery hub - PF L Motor for the main driving - PF M Motor for the steering - PF M Motor for the bucket lifting - PF M Motor for the bucket tilting - Movable cabin - Bucket is swappable to a pallet fork or a larger bucket - Detailed cockpit and driver seat The size is 20.5 x 17 x 28.5 = 9932.25 cubic studs More pictures at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124502100@N04/albums/72177720299363293 Video uploaded: -
Alright, I'm a little late to the game, but I want to play. I confess I am still on the fence about doing a front end loader, so I'll give my draft one more go this weekend, and make a decision about if to move forward with it. But, ever since @Jundis started his Mecalac 12MTX WIP, I, like many of you I'm sure, have been spending a lot of time on the Mecalac website. They have a lot of fun little machines. Each would make a fun little project. For this contest, I wanted to see if I could do a little skid excavator. I finally got a little time to build this week, and here is what I have so far. It's pretty basic (and sorry I burned out my photo lights today), but it is a good start to see what I can fit. The MOC is currently 26 modules long, 20 modules tall, and 17 modules wide which equals 8,840 cubic modules/studs. I planned the project at 29x20x17 (9,860), so I should be fine. I suspect the MOC will get a little longer and taller, so it is good I have a little bit of space to expand if needed. Currently I have the following functions, all of which are manual: Front Plow up and down Slewing from HOG Boom 1 up and down Boom 2 up and down Boom 3 in and out Bucket scoop Interchangeable bucket I have a lot of room in the back, so I hope to do something else with that, and the cabin will have a door or something. Everything right now is a rough placement, but the movement of the boom is acceptable, so the pivot points might be effectively "fixed" at this point. We'll see where this goes.... -
So I've been contemplating what to build for the contest as the volume restrictions is something that should fall exactly in my area of expertise, but with RC allowed, it got a bit complex. To fully handle a crane or excavator you need 5 or 6 motors, so either two hubs or something like buwizz 3.0 which supports 6 motors, and I'm not really sure if I'll be able to fit all that perfectly within the specified volume while not making it a messy build. So I decided to stick to stuff that I can power with a single hub, and I love the ease of use of physical remote from CADA so I ended up deciding to go with a tracked vehicle + two mechanical functions, so after looking at multiple options I decided to pick a tracked skid-steer loader - a bobcat: I like this one because it has an interesting geometry of the arms, which I expect to be there in order to prevent the bucket getting closer to the cab while the arms are getting raised. I yet have to test this theory. Here's a concept / design so far: I tested the geometry of the arm against keeping the bucket at same angle while the arm is changing its angle, assuming the lever holding liftarm over the arm has fixed angle, and it works more or less. I don't have a bucket yet, and I've got to figure out the driving connection for it that has a significant gear reduction as well as it should have some safety like clutch gear, but I'm not sure if it is a good idea considering weight of the bucket. I'm not 100% sure that I'll be able to go with the design of the arm that is supported by that liftarm to move forward/keep horizontal position of the bucket, especially because of the requirements for the bucket tilt lever connection to the motor. Additional note here is that the tracks are shaped in a way that rear gears one exactly above each other because I couldn't achieve optimal track tension in other configurations and also I would have to make more space for the attachment of linear actuators behind the tracks and it would complicate the base structure. Finally I might end up with arms hitting the cab, so maybe I'll have to move them by 1 stud to the sides, which would made the proportions weird, but I don't think I'll be able to shrink the cab without showing a mess of cables. -
I present to you the "3" wheeled loader. The back wheels act as one, It was an idea spawned from a mix of the Bell 3 wheeled sugarcane loader and BM-VOLVO LM loader, so a three wheeled loader. Took me a little longer to build then I care to admit, because of the lift arms and the not having the hoses kink or bind. It's nothing special as far as build goes. It might look better if I had a little smaller bucket. The truck used for the demonstration is a slightly modified version of grego18's on Rebrickable. More pictures HERE. -

I think I can finally say that I'm back to building 100%. I've been wanting to build a wheel loader for many years, but this project always fell lower and lower on the list of things to build. When I created the mock-up of the technic mine I realized it was time to finally build a decent wheel loader. Choosing the specific machine I wanted was not difficult. I always like to stand out. There have already been a lot of yellow machines, so why not an orange one? That's how I decided to build the Doosan DL 420-7: I started building the model in September 2022 and finished it in June 2023. Of course, there were 4 months break at that time for other models. The primary task in the design of Doosan was to make the model as efficient as possible. In my opinion, it worked very well and this is the final result. When I started building I gave up dummy engine almost immediately. I preferred to use this space for massive axles with portal hubs and a solid frame. The Doosans' drive is powered by the XL motor. Above it, there are two motors: L-motor responsible for turning and M-motor moving the bucket. At the beginning of the work I used Sbrick and a Lego rechargeable battery box. During the 16-hour tests at the exhibition, I decided that for even better effect and efficiency I would use Buwizz. Thanks to this, the model has space and the possibility of three control configurations. Sbrick, Buwizz 2.0 or CADA JV1010. The last L-motor lift the arm and it's located behind the front axle. When I made sure that the model works as I expected and removed a few minor defects that were revealed during the tests I started to make building instructions. In addition to a solid frame and pretty well working mechanisms, I wanted the model to look good. The large frame made it difficult for me. In some places I used optical illusions using black bricks. The shape of the arms is bit different compere to the real machine, but this was due to the geometry of the bucket stabilization system. I am happy with the good looking fenders. The rear ones should open but I chose a solid mount. The engine cover have a specific shape. The machine is partly orange, so I had to simplify its details a bit and make possibility to easily buy all the elements in this color. My favorite detail is the radiator grille and counterweight. As you can see, it has a tile on three sides and is mounted on pins. The side parts are build in creator expert style. An additional nice detail is the cabin, which can be removed as one part from the model. To increase the realism, I used RC - MIL SPEC 1.9 ZXL tires that perfectly match the lego technic rims. Below you can see photos and video. There is also a link to the building instructions which also includes motor wires. I spent 250 hours on the presentation and instructions, stickers (with Marton) and I'm curious if you'll like it :) Building instructions: https://reb.li/m/154471 Sticker pack: https://forwartsticker.com/termek/fws95-moc-154471/ Photo gallery: https://bricksafe.com/pages/erictrax/doosan-dl420-7 Video: -

Hello all, This is a MOC of a backhoe loader, inspired by the style of the 2015 city contruction sets, and in a similar scale. My desire to do one had a lot to do with my disappointment with the one that came in the train set that came out around that time. I spent a long time finding similar city MOCs before starting, and photos of the real thing, making sure it would feature everything that I could think of.. namely, articulated actuators, outriggers, front and back shovel. I used mostly recent parts, the only real exception of a discontinued part being the back shovel, Lego never created a click-hinge update of that part.

Experimental MOC combining Mindstorms Robot Inventor and Control+. Features drive, backing alarm, arm elevation, bucket tilt, and a pallet fork alternate attachment with manually adjustable fork width. Functions/features: Drive (4x medium angular motors; 1 per wheel) Arm elevation (C+ L motor) Bucket tilt (C+ L motor) Manually adjustable fork width (on pallet fork attachment) Backing alarm Ever since I had heard that the new Mindstorms Robot Inventor is cross-compatible with Control+, I made a goal of creating a MOC combining them. A skid-steer loader seemed like a good subject to start for me - I wanted the drive to be as direct as possible, without connecting the wheels on one side with gears to a single motor. This meant 4 motors for the drive and 2 motors for each of the arm functions - perfect for the 6 ports on the Robot Inventor hub. The building process started with a base for the model - 4 medium angular motors each connected to a single wheel via a planetary hub. The motors were sandwiched between 2 11x15 Technic frames, creating a robust structure. The Robot Inventor hub is placed behind this part, and the C+ L motors for the arm functions are located above the drive motors. The chassis was kept as flat as possible with everything kept low to lower the center of gravity. Just in front of the Robot Inventor hub are two gear trains that transfer drive to the arm elevation and bucket tilt functions. Thanks to the use of planetary hubs, the model had plenty of torque and is able to climb some steep slopes without any issues, as shown in the video. Aesthetics wise, the model has a simple yellow/black color scheme. My original inspiration for this model was the CASE SV340, so the color scheme had some resemblance to that. Building the bodywork was quite discouraging at first due to it feeling like a building a box on wheels, but the model's looks really came together as the arms and rear body panels were installed. I also used plates and tiles to cover up bare pin holes and make the model look more finished, especially on the roof but also in other areas like the front windshield pillars and the top of the arms. Additionally, the model includes a handful of new 2021 panels, such as the small 3L curved panel and the 3x7 flat panel. As for accessing the Robot Inventor hub, there are 2 discreet switches in the bottom rear of the model that press the power and Bluetooth buttons on the hub. As everything is done from my iPad after powering it on and connecting it via Bluetooth, I don't have to look at the screen or press the left/right buttons. The status sounds from the hub allow me to know if the hub is powered on, connected, or powered off. As for controlling the model, I created a simple control profile in the Robot Inventor app using its code blocks. Two sliders control drive, and the arm functions are controlled using buttons. Additionally, a backing alarm sounds when driving in reverse. This feature is only controlled by the left slider, as I found that controlling it with both will essentially cause two backing alarms to play over each other. One issue I had is that the drive motors often don't start all at once - there'd be a noticeable delay in one or more of the motors. The C+ motors for the arm functions, however, work fine. I'm not sure what causes this, but this will definitely be something to consider for my next Robot Inventor/C+ hybrid MOC. Overall, I'm decently satisfied with this MOC. It was an interesting experiment in combining Robot Inventor and C+ that largely went according to plan. As someone who builds Technic MOCs, the new Robot Inventor hub is far better than the EV3 brick - it's got much better form factor (it's even a stud lower than the C+ hub), uses rechargeable batteries and is therefore much lighter, and has 6 ports that aren't restricted to motors or sensors. The only downsides IMO are the color (as teal doesn't blend well with most colors in Lego Technic) and the bright screen, but that can be easily covered up as I've done here. I definitely have plans for more Robot Inventor/C+ hybrids in the future, whether that be a Robot Inventor hub MOC with C+ motors or a C+ hub MOC with Robot Inventor motors. Photos: Video: -
Hey guys, here's a new MOC I'm working on. This MOC will be an experiment in combining the new Mindstorms with Control+ to control 6 motors with a single hub. It will be powered and controlled by the new Mindstorms hub, with 4 angular motors for drive (1 per wheel) and Control+ motors for elevation and tilting. With the new Mindstorms having much better form factor than EV3, I anticipate it being much easier to use in my MOCs than EV3. The loader is inspired by the CASE SV340 skid-steer loader. However, some parts of that vehicle, especially the rounded section of the arms towards the rear, will be difficult to model with Lego pieces, so I won't model this after any specific skid-steer loader. So far, I have the chassis built. It's a compact chassis made of 4 angular motors sandwiched between two 11x15 frames. The wheels are driven through planetary hubs, giving it lots of torque. This gives me a good starting point to attach other elements, such as the arm mechanisms and the Mindstorms hub. This will definitely be an interesting build. When I learned that the new Mindstorms is cross-compatible with C+ thanks to both being in the Powered Up ecosystem, I knew I just had to make a MOC combining them. If all goes well, I'll definitely be experimenting more with the new Mindstorms in the future. If you have any suggestions for me, please let me know. Photos:

I'm doing something simple this time after building two complex MOCs. Given that I'm busy with college right now, this should be a pretty manageable project for me. It'll be a simple tracked loader model with subtractor drive. I've already got the subtractor mechanism built, and it'll likely be the rear sprockets that'll be driven. The propulsion motor is a C+ XL and the steering motor is a C+ L. The C+ hub will likely sit in the front of the chassis towards the bottom (assuming it's the rear sprockets that'll be driven) and bucket elevation/tipping will be a C+ XL and C+ L, respectively. As for the bodywork, I'm planning on making it bright light orange with the pieces from the 42099 set. If you have any suggestions for me, please let me know. Photos:

Hello to everyone. I'd like to present a new project. I'm building an Underground Mining Loader. The idea came to me two years ago when Lego released the set Mine Loader (42049). By the time, I was expecting this to be the flagship model (1H) of that year, but it turned out to be a medium-size model. So I built my own. I took parts mainly from my Volvo Loader (42030) and built a version with a much lower profile. The result was ugly but functional. It's being on a corner getting dust. A couple of weeks ago I took this Moc apart and I'm rebuilding it from scratch. I'm not showing the "original" because it's really ugly. I hope I can make a decent model, something between good-looking and functional. Although most of the ideas come from the previous Moc, the "improved version" it's proving to be a difficult job. I think it would take a couple of weeks to finish the improved version. Here're some pictures from the first part. I'm happy with the results. I think 1/5 of the job is done. Disclaimer: I'm not trying to replicate a specific machine, but I have taken inspiration from the Caterpillar portfolio Thank you for your time. ****Pictures of the final model**** Lateral access to motor. For maintenance purposes, I guess. Hardly noticeable IR receivers ;) Easy access to motor. Cabin with chair and control panel. No floor. Easy access to battery and cables. You can also accommodate the rechargeable battery.
