April 30, 20159 yr Hm, the large battery box is a little too big... But if you put it on the bed it would work... I mean how does the small BB compare to the large one on this model? (8881)
May 2, 20159 yr Hi folks, oh yes, as mentioned before, I did some little changes... Selected a color which I don't really like, but hey, it looks good... Changed some small things on the chassis and the color from black to red. And the old wheels looked too small and tiny. The new ones are a little too big, but I think it looks better. Overdid the flatbed. Now only some minor detailling stuff to do... So, enough words... Pictures: Have fun...

May 3, 20159 yr Nice mog... Did you use the lxf or the building instructions? Pat Can i please have the lxf? Thanks!
May 3, 20159 yr All you need should be there: http://rebrickable.c...Ard/unimog-u411 Thanks! I am working on a Truck Trial-spec version with a winch and gearbox
May 4, 20159 yr Sounds very interesting... Please share some pictures :) I'm going to use the 8110 Unimog set winch and add some lights. Not sure when I will be able to build it in real life but I am building it now in LDraw library using LeoCad.
May 4, 20159 yr Sounds good!!! Happy to see some progress... The winch has been determined (it's a compact, 11 piece version of the 8110 Unimog winch), and the gearbox will be this (designed from Trial Truck testing): http://sariel.pl/2011/02/2-speed-heavy-duty-linear-gearbox/I am rebuilding the model in LDD using your high-quality PDF instructions. Thankfully this model is small, so that shouldn't take too long.
May 7, 20159 yr Hi, again There is my latest mod of your mog, i build The Ugliest Mog ever :D its styl wip but working good, i must order servo to steer :/
September 1, 20159 yr Hi Pat, i saw this truck some time ago and i got impressed how nice it was, and i rebuilt it in LDD, but i thougth, why not to make some changes, and then i did some things, the previous gear ratio of the transmission was not very good for heavy off-roading, so, i changed the gear ratio, its +/- 12.5:1, then i saw the real life unimog and i saw a winch, so i made it too, and i have also added "portal hubs", which gave me the opportunity to improve the steering movement and actually just lifted the truck by 1 stud, and i lowered the whole suspension by 1 stud (so the height is the same, but it has more clearance), but this will only work with custom 8 teeth universal joints from Efferman, i hope you like it: LXF: http://www.brickshel...nimog_u_411.lxf , more pictures at brickshelf.
