Lego Technic Tractor Truck

[Dafgek81]

Hello Lucio,

I asume the instructions are ready then?

Where can I get them?

And another question, I see there are three batteryboxes on this massive beast, how long can you play with it till they are going dead?

And what kind off batteries do you use, I know it needs AA's

Hello Lucio,

We're testing the instructions There are still quite a few improvements to be made to them, before they're ready for sale. The wait will be worth it, this truck is absolutely massive!

Sorry Jantjeuh,

Missed that post on my small IPhone schreen.

Just can't wait to get them, it's sooooooo cool

Well, I'm not a great player...when I finish a Moc I play with it only for a while, I enjoy more to build than to play. So I don't really know how long you can play! When I shot the video, I assume that I played, more or less, an half hour.

I used Duracell "Long Life Ultra Turbo Super Nuclear Power"....or something similar , I don't remember the commercial name. I found a good assortment at a good price, that's it.

But I will buy 2 Lipo battery!

Sorry for the misunderstanding!! I will say that in the future I will replace my AA Battery Box with the Lipo...in future Mocs!

The rechargeable battery box: http://rebrickable.com/parts/84599

[Dafgek81]

Ok, but if I have to use 3, it will get very expencieve.

[jantjeuh]

You don't have to use them, it's just an alternative. I prefer to use LiPo's myself.

[Dafgek81]

I understand that, but are there any kind off rechargable AA batteries on the market you guys prefer??

[jantjeuh]

I don't bother with rechargeable batteries, so I wouldn't know

[Dafgek81]

But I would, buying 3 Lipo's will get to expencive, they will cost me €221,- if I want to get 2 adapters to reload them to.

[jantjeuh]

Why 2 adapters?

[Dafgek81]

To load the 2 batteries at once, but with even 1 it is going to cost me €200,-

I try to build this very nice Model only from the Pictures

[sm 01]

I feel like I'm late to the party, unfortunately somehow I missed it so far, but I have to agree with all the praises, this is absolutely amazing MOC!

In short, it looks incredibly realistic, it is huge and have lots of great functions.

I like the video very much - "rear live pneumatic axles" function looks so cool and seems to work great in spite of models big weight. Speaking of weight, at first I thought that 4 XL motors are bit to much for 5.8 kg heavy truck, but when I saw it pull loaded trailer (12kg) my jaw just dropped...

Great work!!

Still waiting for instructions ;) Will there be a partlist available soon? So I can start sorting parts.

I'm impressed and interested! I like a lot the LED use! Just one thing, 4 shock absorbers on the first axle are too few, the cab weighs a lot.

Still waiting for instructions ;) Will there be a partlist available soon? So I can start sorting parts.

I'm waiting too, but we had some "time" problems during the test phase, simply there wasn't enough! I can say for sure that I'm the first that want to release this instructions.

But I ask to be patience. Maybe it's possible to have the part list soon.

Hi Lucio, since you are doing the instructions for this any chance of getting instructions done for you racing truck?.

[Dafgek81]

Hello Lucio,

I know this might be a stupid question, but even though you have already dismanteled the trailer, is there still a chance on instructions for the trailer?

I know there is a team of amazing building experts working on the instructions of the truck?

Some of them build models from only pictures on the web.

[Denny]

Here is my copy, built only with the pictures

[Dafgek81]

Hello Denny,

Very nice looking copy, I asume it is due to lack off parts that you have build it in four colours?

But very hard to do from only pictures.

Very nice touch with the LED's on the sides front and back.

Did you only use one rechargable batterypack?

And Lucio, maybe a nice touch those extra lights on the side, frontbumper and working tail-lights

[Denny]

Yes, only the rechargeable battery pack. It lasts for 10 minutes driving time .

[DrJB]

... if the truck is stationary for a couple of days I have to raise it from the ground, otherwise the tires are deformed ...

This does happen in real life, especially when new vehicles sit for few days at a dealership, on the hot asphalt in Texas. It is called 'flat-spot' and many car owners do not like it as it makes the car shake quite a bit.

That said, this for sure is a very nice MOC.

I have seen a moc where the big tyres, like 94.8x44R, were stuffed with 6578 tyres to make them stronger
