Jeroen Ottens Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Great looking model. And very densily packed. I wonder if it would have taken less space if you would have chosen an automated gearbox to distribute the M-motor functions from one M-motor to 4 functions? Lego motors & receivers are quite bulky... OTOH delivering the functions from one central gearbox takes a lot of axles/gears as well... Quote
KevinMoo Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Here's what I get every time I try to build independent suspension on the front: I'm pretty sure that it's something to do with where I attached the 6L ball arms to the steering rack but as of yet I haven't solved the problem. Those two lines have to be equal in length. If the vehicle’s width is determined (it means the red line’s width is determined), try to make some adjustments on the green line to make them equal. Excellent photos, video, and one of the best studless cabins I've ever seen. The wheels look a tad small at first glance, though. Thanks, Sariel. It does need bigger wheels. Great looking model. And very densily packed. I wonder if it would have taken less space if you would have chosen an automated gearbox to distribute the M-motor functions from one M-motor to 4 functions? Lego motors & receivers are quite bulky... OTOH delivering the functions from one central gearbox takes a lot of axles/gears as well... I did consider the possibility of a gearbox and made a prototype roughly like this: All same functions achieved but with a higher deck height, so I gave it up. Edited June 22, 2015 by KevinMoo Quote
Gabor Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I agree with you in some problems, for example height, and angle, but technically the truck is perfect and the overall shape is great, too! Quote
vliet Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Kevin, about the ballarms or suspension links, there are two types, part 32195 and 57515, one is 6 studs long, the other 6,5 studs long. Or you can try to make the steeringrack one stud longer/wider Quote

pogie Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 That truck is awesome. I don't MOC technic so these fantastic builds really blow me away. I can't believe no one has mentioned the black BMW on back. I can barely tell its Lego. Quote
Foggy Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Amazing truck, hat off mate! Are you gonna make instructions? would like to add it to my collection even if i'm a bit scared about all parts' cost.... Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 @pogie: You trully have eagle eyes, cause that BMW is really awesome - but 100% not LEGO :-P The truck, on the other hand, is a woek of art! Quote
