[MOC] - Volvo A25d 4x4

[deAraujo]

Hi everyone,

I would like to present you my new creation, the Volvo A25d 4x4 remote controlled.

The functions and characteristics are:

-4x4 drivetrain powered by one XL motor;

-Steering is achieved with a medium motor and one small linear actuator;

-Tipper bed controlled by pneumatic and compressor by another medium motor;

-Full articullated and big ground clearance.

I am very happy with the way I found for the mechanism regarding the tipper bed in which it is only required one motor to operate simultaneously and synchronously the compressor and the pneumatic switch.

Since there is a differential between the two, when the motor starts, the power goes to the easier side which is the pneumatic switch. When the

switch reaches its end, then the power goes to the compressor.

The same is true the other way around.

This mechanism is realy helpfull when trying to reach dificult and/or distant places from the battery box because you have the advantage of the lenght of the pneumatic tubes.

The link to all the images is here:

Meanwhile, I am editing a short video to show you these functions.

I hope you like it.

Looks goog, but more pictures would be better, and take pictures with better lighting. Take pictures from side, where light comes.
