legosamigos Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Hello Eurobrickers! Today I would like to show you my modification of Arocs. There's a contest on LUGPol, about building truck with cab from 42043. So far I have rebuilt cab in red, as M_Longer. It will be Arocs as a fire truck Oh sorry, wrong pictures :D I thought to build something like , but unfortunatelly I have to resign and it will be like this I know, that is 42009 chassis, but my Bronto was based on the chassis 42009 set, but don`t worry, it will be different configuration, like this O_OO--OO_I don`t like stickers, co I used Technic Connector as a handle of the door The same with a sunroof Long, long time ago, I`ve started to build another a fire truck, but now important for me, it is to build Arocs as the fire truck Quote

nerdsforprez Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Hey Everyone..... Not sure if anyone remembers or has heard of Artifex Creations. They used to have a site but it looks like they are revamping it and it is down, which is a shame because I wanted to show the lighting kit they put out years ago for the Unimog. It was pretty cool stuff. Although I didn't buy their kit, I have many lights from the folks at lifelites.com (third-party lighting kits for Lego builds). Anyways, thought I would put together a kit for the new Arocs. Here are some pics. Overall..... pretty fun modification and even more fun trying to get some good shots of the Arocs. Pretty easy in terms of the replacement parts needed to do the modification, but things get real tight (people who have built this beast know what I am talking about) and can get complicated. I provide more pics and even some brief instructions on how to add these lights should anyone be interested in doing so. Just check out the truck's site on my mocpages: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/418368 Thanks for looking! Quote
efferman Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 Very interessting how much small modifications can do, to change the look of a cab Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I had the same result with my 8X8 chassis! much lower than the Arocs and still got the leaf springs to work perfectly within the steering and the traction on all axle!! Quote
MaxSupercars Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Can you post pictures? What is with your crane? Thx... Max... Edited September 21, 2015 by MaxSupercars Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Can you post pictures? What is with your crane? Thx... Max... I've decided to use it for the TC8 contest but of course the main thing has to be the crane on top of it..so let's hope I finish it on time!! Quote
MaxSupercars Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 OK, I'm looking forward for it.. ;) Max... Quote
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) after building the tractor of the B-model and RC-ing it, I started making a dumper trailer. I did this because i didn't liked the trailer of the B model. i started with the rear and because i wanted to implent the pneumatics of the truck, i added the pneumatic actuators to lift the trailer. also i made 2 pneumatic conections. 1 in the front of the trailer and 1 in the back. The lifting of the dumpbed and the pnuematic actuators are RC controlled. It has an autovalve to control the pneumatic actuators. But i'll let the pics speak on DSC_0001 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr DSC_0002 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr DSC_0003 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr DSC_0005 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr DSC_0004 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr the only thing i need is a rear bumper. So if someone has a nice bumper 17 studs wide with a hitch. let me know Edited October 12, 2015 by TheNextLegoDesinger Quote
Samolot Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) And here is what I did with my Arocs Arocs "Silent Eagle" flight simulator Gallery http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=559347 Film Edited October 12, 2015 by Samolot Quote
D3K Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 And here is what I did with my Arocs Arocs "Silent Eagle" flight simulator Gallery http://www.brickshel...gi?f=559347Film Wow! That is one of the coolest and most unique MOCs I've seen in quite some time! The functions of the model seem well implemented, and it also looks extremely good in black! Not to mention the sticker work! Bravo! Quote
jono rocky Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 And here is what I did with my Arocs Arocs "Silent Eagle" flight simulator Gallery http://www.brickshel...gi?f=559347Film This is mind blowing and deserves its own thread. The simulator...I'm speachless....Wow I love it Quote
richellis Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Ive just finished this kit, out of the box and found the forum looking for modifications and improvements! Ive ordered the parts for the visor/ light bar thanks to M-Longer, cant wait to get this made and on. I also wanted to widen the wheel arches, efferman do you have any more details on how you did this mod? Also how did you get the cab lower? This is mine, as Im in the UK its been converted to Right hand drive! Thanks WP_20151013_11_43_10_Pro by richellis1978, on Flickr Quote
efferman Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 the cab is lower because my chassis is lower. and the Mudguards are simplo moved one stud to the outside. There are no big structural changes. only the steps on the bumper was changed a bit 100_1508 by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr Quote
nagybirek Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Hey Guys, does this little beast count as MOD-improvement? :) Not 100% done, but after almost 3 weeks work on it ... well, I would say, getting there Cheers Quote

Dafgek81 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Efferman, Are you going to make instructions of some kind for your chassis and cab mods??? Quote
tripletschiee Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I just implemented Effermann's idea and build a bumper: Quote
tripletschiee Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I additional changed the stabilizers. I removed the red 7L liftarm and replayced it with two thin 6L liftarms. That looks better and gives the Arocs much more ground clearance. Edited November 11, 2015 by tripletschiee Quote
agrof Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Maybe the instructions are not very clear, I see quite lot people having this issue. The 7L liftarm actually should be sunken 1 stud deep into the "foot". I built mine this way, and have neither clearance, nor stability problem. The lowering mechanism works also as it should, without falling apart. Check here, count the holes: http://cache.lego.co...g?l.r2=23574082 and http://www.techlug.f...P/42043/118.jpg Quote
tripletschiee Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 The 7L liftarm actually should be sunken 1 stud deep into the "foot".... You're totally right! I absolutely oversaw that! Thanks for clarification! Quote
agrof Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Welcome. Still your mod is not for fuility, it is more suitable now for rough terrain. Quote
Siegfried Meyer Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys This is my mod for the B model (Tractor only) with a dump bed. LA is operated with the right hand light on top of the BB. The only changes was removing the 5th Wheel and altering the steering to accommodate for the Mini LA operation. I was trying to change as little as possible from the original model and think it came out OK for a afternoon MODding session . Dump Bed up. Close up for the LA placement Here you can see the gearing and routing of the axles to the Mini LA And the bottom. And the side and the Back Enjoy... and any comments welcome Edited November 14, 2015 by Siegfried Meyer Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 @ Siegfried Meyer: Lovely, it is so impressive being this short! Like it a lot! Quote
