Ever since building my Classic Dump Truck from two years ago, I felt like it was a model that could be greatly improved upon. The original model was built at a relatively small scale, though I was able to put a good number of functions in the model. This will be the sequel to that model, and at a much larger scale. Stud.io model so far: I've immediately put a good amount of electronic components in the model. This model will use Control+ elements; a large angular motor is used for drive, which is 4WD on this model (unlike the previous smaller version which was RWD). Thanks to it having an output on both the front and rear, it is able to easily form a longitudinal driveshaft while oriented vertically. Note the extendable CV joint in the driveshaft - this will allow the driveshaft to be easily disconnected to access the Control+ hub battery compartment. Hopefully it's not an issue when the drivetrain is under stress, especially with the gearing down at the differentials. I also included a flat-6 piston engine connected to the drivetrain. I initially used 14:22 heavy duty differentials and planetary hubs, but found the resulting speed to be painfully slow so I changed it to 12:28 differentials and wheel hubs without gear reduction for a good speed/torque balance. As for the design, the model will have a yellow cab built mostly using Technic but also with some System details. I initially wanted to make the cab orange again, with the same color scheme as the previous version, but I found the large yellow mudguards from the 42114 set to be a perfect fit for this model. So far, the design looks pretty good in Stud.io, and it definitely gives the classic pick-up truck vibe. Stud.io model with bodywork hidden: Current progress photos: -
I have not been building much in the last couple of months, so another Eurobricks Technic contest was just the invitation I needed to start a new project. While I'm not opposed to using the 49.5mm tires in a creative way like a tractor or construction machine, I have two trucks that have been sitting on my queue for about two years. Since neither has gone anywhere, I thought now might be the time to explore if they have any merits to continue. At the risk of making the same mistake I did with TC22 where I focused on two builds and couldn't easily decide on which MOC to submit, I am going to try this approach again. At least this time, they will have significant similarities and identical subassemblies. Crane Tipper This truck has been on my workbench for about a year after I found this picture, so I took the truck down and started working on it. After a quick draft, below is what I have (I know the rear tires are not right. I'm limited on my tire parts right now). It's straightforward design with RWD, front engine and steering, a tipper bed, and a center folding crane. The crane will be the limiting factor on this build, so I'll spend more time on that next. Below is a simple draft of the crane folding mechanism, but I'm not sure how I can make it work with the large gear rack and mount. After a little more building last night, I was able to rebuild the full chassis, in a way that will connect with the other truck. Hooklift Truck A hooklift truck is the second idea which uses 6 wheels, and is modeled after this truck I found a number of years ago. The truck will use the same front end as the tipper, but will have six wheels, and will have a hook lift on the rear. Front and rear steering will bookend the center drive wheel which will drive the front motor. Below is the first draft (again, sorry about the wheels). I think I am able to keep the same front chassis and cab between the two trucks. Right now the current headache is the hook lift mechanism. I would like to have the two function hook lift and bed tilt function, but it's causing some issues. I'll keep at it, and see what I can come up with. Below is the second draft to see if I can integrate the same front end for both trucks and steering needs. So far, it seems like I can. We'll see where this goes. Both trucks have some challening aspects, so I may just follow the path of least resistance. If both finish, I'll be happy to have two new MOCs. In the meantime, it's good to be building again. -
Hi all, Back with another 7 wide, this time it's the Isuzu Grafter (Also known as the Isuzu Elf in other localities) Features tipping bed, and realistic details all round. Free instructions can be found on my Rebrickable profile. Cheers Ender

Welcome to my garage LEGO!!! Hello! My name is Michael. I'm a Builder from Russia, I love muscle cars! I'm back! 🎉 This year I wasn't up to legos, but I couldn't leave 2024 without models at all, and since the beginning of November I've been working on an extraordinary truck! This time, the equally legendary KAMAZ 5410 The entire model is based on exclusive wheels and a front beam developed in conjunction with the Boyar corner and custom polycarbonate fenders (handmade). The cabin was modeled in 3D back in the 23rd year, so there were no difficulties with it. I took the chassis from the Urals and adjusted it to the necessary parameters of Kamaz, the difficulty arose only with the spare tire, it clashed with the gearbox, and the gearbox with the Boom. It was necessary to make sure that the wheel did not protrude beyond the dimensions of the rear axle and did not hang down too much, as a result, the gearbox was placed horizontally, but the wheelbase still had to be slightly increased in order to install a sliding gimbal. The front beam was designed with a transverse angle of inclination of the pivot, so that the wheels would not fold up like a house, since the tires are narrow. Maneuverability is also improved. Description: -Drive the buggy motor -Steering GeekServo -RCBric Management -6x4 drive -2-speed transmission (the lever is duplicated in the cabin) -The steering wheel turns with the wheels (and with the cabin raised) -Working V8 -The doors, hood and sunroof open, the cabin rises -Door locks -Semi-automatic saddle -Detailed interior -Weight: 2.5kg Length: 53cm. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lego_muscle_garage/ Join my group in VK: https://vk.com/legomusclegarage I wish you a good mood, faith in miracles and fulfillment of wishes, happy and joyful days. Get inspired and create! Happy New Year 2025! -
I made Tow Mater to pair with my Finn McMissile It wasn't easy to get the shape right with limited parts, but i managed I think this might be my best MOC yet. I'm pretty sure he scales correctly to my Finn I didn't manage to figure out how to make guns with the parts in the set but I did include other accessories such as his waiter outfit and the bomb. Comparison with official set Recolor with movie accurate colors -
Hello! Today I would like to present my first foray into the city theme. This truck started out as a load for a planned train (rolling highway), but I also wanted to know: can I build a trruck that can be driven by remote control? Without hiding the electronics in a Container box.... Yes, I can! The little one is fully roadworthy: 1x Cicuit Cube HUB, 1x Circuit Cube motor as drive motor and 1x CaDa MicroMotor for the steering (here the PF plug had to be exchanged for a Circuit Cube plug, soldering skills helpful). And because it's nicer: front/rear light in the truck ;-) A matching semi-trailer was also built, of course with a prototype. I like the north of Europe, so I often see the semi-trailers of the Freja haulage company and my daughter is also called Freja (only in the German spelling). So it was obvious which haulage company would serve as a role model for me. And the logo was a great snot job: approx. 200 parts per logo.... The trailer has a retractable/extendable pillar, operated by hand via a gear wheel at the front. It's hardly noticeable there and could also be a ventilation detail... I also built a manual version of the truck with “Hand of God” control: no soldering, just drive, no foeign parts required.... .... and with twin tires. I'm still missing them on the RC version and have fallen victim to the lack of space. And because only pictures of moving trucks are boring: I have created a (attention, longer^^) video of the development and with many detailed explanations (but in german, sorry) : have fun watching it: I hope you have as much fun watching the photos / videos and reading here as I had building ;-) Thomas / Ts__

Hi Folks! Let me show you a build that has been sitting on the shelf for a while but I only got around finalizing its presentation lately: a Zil 130 6x6 trial truck built for the mini truck trial challenge in Buwizz camp 2024. The model is actually a predecessor of my Ford F150 built at the same scale and color. As the rules of the competition said that one can only enter with a proper truck (not a pickup truck), I had to build something new, but as I did not have much time to build, I wanted to reuse some of the chassis/suspension setup, and the small blue fender parts. Because of the blue color, the Zil was a convenient choice. However, I decided to make a 6x6 version for better traction and for the challenge of building a dual rear axle, which I have never done before. Features All wheel drive with independent rear driveshafts, 2x PU L motors 5-link live axle front suspension with coil springs Live axle rear suspension with leaf springs by flex axles and support links Linkage based steering of front wheels by PU L motor Openable doors and removable cargo bed (for more flex in trial) Simple but complete interior Chassis and suspension design When I started out, I knew I wanted to keep the motor layout and front axle design from the Ford F150, but I also knew the rear axle design had to be changed because the coil spring setup was not a good fit for a truck (too high). So keeping the motor layout, I adapted its rear end to a truck, and also removed the gearbox and its motor to give space for the double driveshaft. The bare chassis looks like this, simple and slim: Then I started experimenting with leaf spring setups using flex axles, which have been used by many (I especially like the work of @paave in this area), and looked promising. However, the existing designs I found were not completely satisfactory for my needs; they took up too much space for two axles close to each other, and they were a bit stiff for my lightweight truck (I wanted something with a lot of flex). Typical designs start out with a bent (11L) axle in a downward looking quarter circle, and then the axle bends upwards upon articulation, which gives a preload to the flex axles. I found a configuration which starts out with the flex axles flat and then bends them upwards upon articulation, which allows using shorter (7L) axles with a tighter mounting, while still having a soft flex. The rear axles are really slim, consisting of only a main beam and wheel mounts. They look like this installed into the chassis: To keep the rear axles in position, a row of lower links run underneath, and and towball arms secure it from the top. The two rear axles can articulate completely independently, the are not coupled. I am really satisfied with how this came out, it's very compact and even looks somewhat realistic. Bodywork and interior To build the body, I used a mix of technic and system parts. The blue fender pieces are quite a good fit for the Zil, and a few curved slopes around it can fill the holes. The micro panels add nice curvature to the doors, and further sloped system parts can be used for the B pillars and of course the hood. Also, I wanted to have a brick built front face / grille, which I also managed to realize with system parts built in various directions. In general, the technic micro panels and curved system slopes play very well together, I love to mix them at smaller scale! As for the interior, two small seats are perfect, and I had space to add a dashboard with steering wheel and a gearstick. Running the cables through the cabin was a tough part though.. Furthermore, besides the bare trial version, I wanted to make the model so that it can be a complete truck with a cargo bed, so I made a simple detachable one using a few large panels. A key to this is that the rear section of the chassis is low enough due to the compact suspension. Here are some more renders and photos as well. More pictures are available on Bricksafe, and building instructions are available on Rebrickable. As for the performance of the model, without the cargo bed it is really a cute little agile beast :) The two L motors provide ample power, the suspension has a lot of flex, ground clearance is also quite good for the size. Unfortunately, the turning radius is not so great due to the length and that only the front wheels are steered, which proved to be a disadvantage in the trial competition. Also, the competition allowed for bigger tires (up to 62mm) as well, which I did not max out, but wanted to use these smaller ones instead because they look so cool; that also put me to a disadvantage against other competitors, so I did not place well. But when just playing for fun and making the video, this little truck gave me a lot of joy :) Let me know how you like it! Cheers, Viktor -
This modular building-style corner LEGO store was heavily inspired by set 31105 (Townhouse Toy Store from Creator) while the LEGO delivery truck is modified version of the postal vehicle from set 10222 (Winter Village Post Office) whereas the sidewalk burger stand is directly taken from 60404. (City Burger Truck) The building also draws from some free Rebrickable instructions you can see here. The building is a bit short in the height department compared to official modulars, but when next to my custom buildings it fits right in! On this side we see the second-floor patio. The lower floor is the shop's sales floor, and also has a enclosed delivery area off to the side. The shop sells all manner of Lego sets and pre-built models for sale. The burger stand's roof also is removable. The second floor is a apartment, and features a bare minimum of features to sustain life, but it does have a gigantic Lego train layout in the corner. (somebody has their priorities in order!) This truck is heavily inspired by the 1920s truck from the first Winter Village post office. The doors on both sections open, and the truck seats one figure at the wheel. (Oh how I wish those rear doors came in yellow!) EDIT 11/16/24: Models finished in real life - pictures added, and text updated in the first post! Thoughts? -
Based on a truck called the Albatross from the game Mudrunner Expeditions, I made this MOC: The truck in the game: It has the following functions: - 6WD powered by 2 PU XL-motors - Front and rear axle steering powered by a PU L-motor. - V8 fake engine. - Winch at the front and rear of the truck, powered by a L-motor and through a little gearbox you can select if you want to power the rear or the front one. - Independant suspension. A video of the model: A few more photo's: The "fuelcap" (the black ball) on top of the "fueltank" turns on the hub. The bionicle tooth you see below the bed at the rear is the gearbox switch for the winch. Technic fig compatible I am really pleased with how the suspension works. The first 2 axle have 1 hard spring per wheel, the rear axle has 2 hard springs per wheel, because of the hub in front of that axle and the overhang at the rear that houses the motor for the winch (and with this setup it can actually carry a load of cargo too ) To remove the batteries I have to remove 2 liftarms and a part of the drive axle, which I build so it can be easily removed by me. A few things I didn't manage to do, but wanted to are stuff like a 2-speed gearbox and diff locks. but I simply could not make them fit while keeping the functions that did make it into the model. I wanted to keep the central column of the chassis slim (like the truck in the game) and keep the bed clean for actual cargo, so that put a limit on the space I had available. Diff locks either meant a higher drivetrain (at the cost of the V8 and bed probably) or a wider model (I can't think of a diff lock mechanism that takes less than 7 studs in width). A greater desire to use these parts for the independant suspension combined with the planetary hubs meant it would get 2 studs wider, which felt too wide for this tiresize. I also feel like the front of the cabine should be 1 stud longer forward at the expense of the hood, but I loved this Technic panel on the hood too much to let that go (and the tiles on the sides would be very hard to attach if I put it 1 stud forward, so hard for me that in the current build I stole a stud from the door instead to secure the A-pillars ). Sorry for no video yet, I might make one in a few weeks. The problem is at the moment that I have to use the one thing that could make a video to control the model through the Brickcontroller app Thanks for watching and reading! -

Hi guys Finally, I could continue with my Scania with Palfinger project. With the ordered parts I could finish the chassis of the truck. The truck is controlled with on PU Hub and a mechanical selector gera box for 2 x 3 functions. I tried to document the funtions in the following video: -
Thanks to the engaged forum user @R0Sch the inventory for the LEGO Technic Volvo Truck & EC230 Electric Excavator (Set 42175) was shared on a legal way two months before the official set release, so I was lucky to start a B-model design very early. No, I had no early access to the physical set like others and bought the set at day one, August the 1st. in my local store. The model I made is a Mercedes Atego Expedition Camper, only with parts from 42175 Volvo FMX Truck & EC230 Electric Excavator as alternative build (B-model). The main set provides all the parts to build, no spare parts or other parts outside this set are required. Designer love to put easter-eggs inside, isn't it? So this model uses exactly 2024 parts as an easter-egg for the release year. Pneumatic Functions foldable stairs to access living cabin lifting platform to carry Quad Functions & Features HoG-steering working piston engine openable doors for drivers cab pendular suspension with turntable openable door for living cab openable sidedoor to access equipment foldable sunroof twin tires in the rear cargo-area to store equipment many equipment included (read below) upgradeable with other wheels and MB-star (from 42177) measures (all closed) 40cm x 17cm x 19cm Model in Action Some Impressions Some Outdoor-Shots Cabin Details On top of the drivers cab you can grab a wheel to steer the truck with a pretty good steering angle. Both doors of the drivers cab can be opened to watch inside. Between the driver seats you can find a working 4-cylinder piston engine that is connected to the rear twin tires. The model comes with pendular suspension, using a turntable from the set between the drivers cab and the living cab with drivetrain through that turntable. The pendular angle is limited to approx 7.5 degrees per side. Pneumatic inside Like the 42175 main set, this alternate build has cool Pneumatic functions inside as well. The pump is controlled from the top of the living cab; the valves from the side. Basically the living cab is divided into 2 sections: At the first half all the Pneumatic stuff and the working stairs is placed. The second half provides enough space to safely store and transport all the equipment that comes with this model. Foldable stairs (Pneumatic) Once the door for the living cab has been opened, the stairs can be pumped down to fully reach the ground and to access the cab. The door closes even when the stairs is completely down, which is a pretty nice feature I'm happy with. Track links from the main set are used for the steps to make a solid staircase with some refreshing design never seen before. Lifting Platform (Pneumatic) The Mercedes Atego has a quad on his trip, that is carried by a lifting platform. When the Pneumatic cylinder is fully extended, the platform reaches exactly the ground and the quad can enter on this. Luckily the Pneumatic has enough pressure to lift up and to hold the whole platform with the weight of the quad. Additional chains can be used to secure the platform and the bike while driving around and going on vacation with this model. Sunroof In case it is getting hot inside the living cab, a sunroof is openable up to 30 degrees with a crank mechanism. This also provides more space over the head for people inside the living cab. When the sunroof is closed, it is completely hidden inside the frame of the Camper. Equipment included The mentioned quad with working steering Camping chairs & table... ...they are all foldable to stack Smoker BBQ-grill and fire-barrel... ...with openable lid for the grill Mobile satellite dish that fits on the table... ...and even better on top of the Camper ALL of the equipment can be transported with the Expedition Truck itself and nothing stays back during vacation. The equipment is accessible through a large openable sidedoor in the living cab. Borrow them a real star By design, it's very easy to spend the model a more realistic looking Mercedes-Benz star. Just pull out the axle with the 2x2 round tile with hole and replace them with a custom 2x2 round tile and pin with snap. The actually best match for a real star on this Atego is with the set 42177 Mercedes G-500. Either the 2x2 round tile with print or the one with sticker in the back can be used here for a Mercedes brotherhood. When the street is not enough... ...then give the Camper your own rims and offroad tires. By design, the model is made to easy swap wheels up to 56x26 Tractor tires with no rebuild required. Based on the real thing Front and drivers cab are highly based on second generation Mercedes-Benz Atego from 2013 with 4-cylinder diesel engine. Final note A Camper was on my personal B-model wishlist for a long time and now thanks to the inventory of the set 42175 it was possible to make it. A lot of summerlove was spent on this one and the whole model feels like endless vacation. Just pack some things and go on a trip for a long time. A heart-project I was working on from beginning of June to end of August this year. Have fun with this Mercedes Atego Expedition Camper alternate build. You can find PDF Instructions to build your own on my rebrickable following this link. See you next tim(e) -
"What a MACHINE you are, John!" - Jeremy Clarkson A LEGO MOC of John the homemade truck from The Grand Tour Mongolia Special, one of the most beloved episodes of all time for fans of Clarkson, Hammond and May. Since the real John was scrapped after filming the episode, this is your only chance to have the next best thing! Instructions are available for purchase on my Rebrickable page. John fits three minifigures on his bench seat with central driving position, just like on the show, as well as opening doors, a decorative winch, cameras, tools, and light bar. Stickers are added too for the license plates, the "John" lettering on the rear, and for Mr. Wilman's map that resides below the steering wheel. File for the stickers (to print on sticker paper) is included with purchase of instructions. A tutorial will go up on my YouTube channel in the near future about how to make your own Clarkson, Hammond, and May minifigures with parts you can buy on Bricklink, so stay tuned!

Here's my thing! Airport Stair Truck Features: - Boom raise - Opening tailgate - Platform extension - Platform levering - Scissors stairs (always 90°) - Working outriggers - 4l-engine - Working steering wheel + HOG - Opening doors - Opening engine bay Video: More pics: Here's the reference pic: I could not put the boom - stair extension to the model scale, it would be too massive. I added 1 more pneumatic cylinder to stabilize the platform, because it's relatively heavy, and it bends down. Also I had to add boom stand, because there's angle limit for boom when it's down and for better HOG control as well. Generally, the model is quite robust and all works well Instruction: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-193893/paave/airport-stair-truck

I was inspired by Overwatch set 75972 (Dorado Showdown) to create this modular small town auto repair shop with 1950s tow truck. I call the building Smokeys Garage. The building features a raised platform for cars to roll onto and be worked on, with folding ramps to keep the broken-down vehicle (in this case a dark blue Ford Anglia set 75953 MOD) in place. The front of the building. I've been working on this tow truck and building on and off basically since the Overwatch theme released in 2019. The rear of the building featuring a few empty oil barrels and some old engines. The main floor of the building, with the ramps lowered for receiving a broken-down car. Several types of tools hang from the walls. Upstairs on the second floor is the employee break room. The eight wide hover-truck from Overwatch set 75972 has been turned into a 6-studs wide 1950's-style tow truck. Rear of the truck. The hook is too high off the ground to actually pull anything... The cab roof is removable to seat the driver behind the wheel. This 1960s car is a heavily modified version of the Ford Anglia in the 2018 Harry Potter set 75953 - Hogwarts Whomping Willow, remade into dark blue. It has broken down, and is being worked on at Smokeys Garage. (my most recent modular building) The rear of the Anglia. The car has an opening trunk and cabin doors, and also seats one figure. EDITED 8/14/24: So, it's taken quite a while, but it's finally done! Enjoy the MOC!

Hi, I would like to present you my first MOC prepared especially for official LugPOL Truck Trial Championship. MOC is based on very famous, polish truck with good off-road capabilities - Star 266. I choose polish truck to introduce some local technology to the competition dominated by soviet machines. Instructions are free of charge, so if you have parts and some time, you can enjoy off-roading with this model pretty easy. LINK Here are my priorities when designing this truck: to fulfill LugPOL Truck Trial Championship rules and to provide truck which will be accepted by judges to prepare truck with good off-road capabilities to build it to make it recognizable Couple of LTTC rules: scale: 1:12 to 1:14 number and type of axles true to the real machine type of suspension true to the real machine must be RC and all-wheel drive the truck's cabin true to real machine, with roof, seats, steering wheel, floor and with openable doors All above rules were fulfilled, below there are couple of more details: scale: 1:12 drive: 2x PF XLs coupled, if necessary, each wheel can harness power of two XL motors steering: PF L motor weight: ~1990g dimensions: W x L x H: 25 x 64,5 x 32,5 studs (width without wheels and tires) Star is powered by Buwizz 2.0, but since it uses only PF motors in very simple configuration, it can be powered by anything you have Truck was designed to work with 96mm Tamiya CC01 tires, and those tires you will see on the video. But in the instruction I used the closest in case of size official Lego tires. You can of course put bigger tires, like Lego tractor tires: 107mm, but some rubbing during extreme off-roading is possible. Couple words on the truck itself: Star 266 took part in two competitions in 2023, so it is well tested, any minor issues were eliminated and I'm convinced, that it can be used in hard terrain without any worries. It is rather simple construction, to reduce the weight. Details are there mostly to be able to fulfill competitions requirements. The truck is the mix of many ideas I had during designing and I wanted to test during proper, official competitions. Some of them proved to be hard terrain effective, some of them, not. So this is for sure not the ideal trial truck. But it is not afraid of outdoor obstacles, mud, dirt, stones etc. Pros of Star 266: high ground clearance (7 studs with 96mm tires) high approach, break over and departure angles highly response suspension with long travel to fast and precise surface adaptation each axle is connected directly to coupled 2 PF XL motors, which allows to stable, equal speed of all wheels and provides (when needed) all available power for the wheel which needs it the most steering is done with PF L motor for speed and strength, possible steering angles are > 45 degrees per site Cons of Star 266: turntables used in each wheel introduce friction, quite a lot of it, I highly recommend to try to reduced it as much as possible (I advise to use a bit of sanding or lubrication, or both) due to lack of any shock absorption, stability is only on decent level truck's cabin shape and location is not the best in case easy passing the gates during competition, but this is my personal opinion Internals of the MOC, so drivetrain and steering with motor on front axle More photos: https://bricksafe.com/pages/keymaker/trial-truck-star-266 -
Hello all, I am working on building a pickup truck, that will ideally look much like a late 70's Ford truck, but I will keep the look generic as per the contest rules. My planned functions/features: - Independent front suspension/steering - Rear suspended live axle with Panhard rod - Lights - Drive by PF L motor - Steering by other PF motor I have built a prototype chassis already, and have settled on a good rear axle configuration similar to my 42138 Mustang Upgrade but this one includes a Panhard rod. I was going to build a solid axle for the front (non-driven) but I don't think I will be able to keep the vertical footprint small enough to allow me to fit a motor above the axle. I will probably end up putting an independent suspension in the front but I don't currently have any 5L suspension arms available (I currently have them in my RC build that I posted some pictures of in the Technic Generic WIP thread) so I might have to divert to a similar design that I used in my previously mentioned Mustang. Any thoughts? I know this is early on in the design process, but are there any suggestions as well? -
Hi This weekend I could finsish the 8x4 dump truck project which I started somewhen in February. It is a simple 8x4 dump truck inspired by Scania G450XT. The functions are driving, steering, dumping and automatic tail gate locking. Everthing is controlled via Powered Up. I control the model with the brickcontroller2 app. For propulsion I used 2 x PU L motors and for steering and dumping one PU L Motor. I'm really happy with the PU system. For this moc it works great and the model is powerful. At the front axle I developed a new supension system. it is inspired by leave spring systems. However, there are no leave springs since I haven't found a proper solution for LEGO. Anyhow, the suspension works great. The model is built in scale 1:16.5 and fits to my telehandler and other mocs and Technic sets (42043)

A Speed Champions-scale MOC of the 3rd Generation Toyota Tundra pickup truck. Instructions are available for purchase on my Rebrickable page. Unlike most 8-wide-scale full-size truck MOCs, this MOC is 9 studs wide instead of 8 studs wide to look realistic and lifelike next to slightly narrower, 8-stud-wide sports cars. I used a lot of special building techniques with jumper plates to achieve this, and along with my work translating the Tundra's unique exterior into LEGO form, I'm incredibly happy with the final product. The truck features a generously-sized bed with a removable tonneau cover, along with a huge 7-stud-wide interior that can easily fit four minifigures. Unfortunately, the tailgate is non-functional, as making it functional would have vastly compromised the rear design of the truck. This Tundra is made to represent a gray Platinum with the TRD Off-Road package. If you'd prefer building this truck in a different color or trim, like a TRD Pro, it can be done with some simple modifications.

Hello everyone! Please welcome my latest moc- the US Rednose truck. It does not represent any existing US truck model, though, it can have similarities to some of them. This is not a scaled model, just a truck) It's 62mm wheels scaled model and compatible with the most of existing trailers/trucsk in the same scale to play together. It uses 2 PU motors for drive and one PU L motor for the steering, as a power source I prefer Buwiz, but the regular PU battery can be used also.Hope you'll enjoy!

This is my biggest technic creation (so far). It's trying to be a Tatra 813 8x8 truck, with a shorter cab. 2 XL motors provide traction for all wheels and an M motor steers the 2 front axles. For now it will remain like this, as it will enter the Rolug Winter Trial Truck contest and needs to be as light as possible, but after the contest I'd like to continue working on it. I think it would be a good off-road tow truck/mobile crane or a drill rig carrier 20180123_190938 by tamas lapsanszki, on Flickr 20180103_090528 by tamas lapsanszki, on Flickr 20180101_003044 by tamas lapsanszki, on Flickr 20180101_002001 by tamas lapsanszki, on Flickr -
Got 8270 together with some other sets and parts. Got idea, how to use crane part from 8270. Main idea is tow truck. First chassis to make it more interesting, I made liftable axle other two wheels on each side can also swing started yesterday in the evening. Had good progress today built up crane/lifter part also made gearbox, the same HOG thing will be used for steering and for lifting rear axle I think, there will be "europe" type cabin. I won't fit nice longnose on that gearbox. -
