Hello,

I would like to present Mercedesa Arocs built for Lugpol competition ("Bulid own Mercedes Arocs with 42043 cabin"):

The model was built during 2 months - as for my building and level of complexity it is really quite fast.

The model parameters (for those who do not like reading):

- Electricity: 1 BBox, 1 PF Servo, 1 PF L,

- Weight: 2,5kg,

- Dimensions: 53 x 17 x 27 cm (lengt x width x height)

The model functions (for those who do not like reading):

1) controlled by PF Servo:

- turning of 1st and 3rd axle,

2) controlled by PF L:

- propulsion,

- hook lift,

- crane rotation,

- stabilisers,

- height of 3rd axle,

- bottom crane arm,

- middle crane arm,

- upper crane arm,

- rope,

- R4 engine.

3) controlled manually:

- switchgear box,

- propulsion clutch,

- switch between hook lift and tipper,

- container doors,

- cabin,

- cabin doors.

The model description (for those who like reading):

From some time I would like to build truck with configuration 6x2x4 with hook lift and crane equipment. Additionally, I would to have all functions controlled by switchgear box and propulled by one PF XL engine. During the model construction has occurred that PF XL was to big and has to be replaced by something else. I choose PF L - copes, but sometimes lack of power is visible. It is the first time that I use PF servo. In general I'm content, but delays of signal transfer are visible (especially when batteries are weak).

The model is one, big swichgear box. Everything is tight built. In general I'm glad of the model. Especially from the crane - I managed to make him fully controlled by PF L. Only disturbs wrongly selected rope - stratifies and stretches.

The model has the big number of gears - I used all my supplies of z12 and z 16.

About the future of the model. For sure I will build trailer. I'm thinking about rebuilding it to model team. But for some time, because now I need take up another topics (non-Lego).

Great build and stunning crane

This truck is really cool. Incorporating the hooklift into it adds a whole new dimension of play-ability. An awesome truck and I hope you win it with it.

This is amazing and deserves to win.

P.S. 100th comment for me :)

Very nice build, really good design and nice functions! Is the hook lift sturdy enough?

My competitors had better ideas. Here you can see all models reported to the competition.

The competition was won by Silent Eagle Flight Simulator.

I would also love it if you made instructions at some point :)

I have limited time for my hobby, thus I'm not able to prepare instructions:)

Is the hook lift sturdy enough?

Yes it is, although the container isn't light.
