SilenWin Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone! I am very glad to introduce to you my modification of brilliant ACT truck made by Lucio Switch! Truck 1_1 by Alexey Tikhvinsky, on Flickr The heart of this giant are: 2 SBricks, 2 LiPo batteries, 4 buggy motors, 2 servos, 2 LED lights. Later I will publish additional technical details and some internals. Here is some outdoor photos: Indominus Rex by Alexey Tikhvinsky, on Flickr Indominus Rex by Alexey Tikhvinsky, on Flickr Indominus Rex by Alexey Tikhvinsky, on Flickr Hope you like it! P.S.

JJ2 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Looks so good with the white-blue color scheme and 3rd party tires. I was impressed with the performance, how fast did the 4 buggy motors drain the batteries? Quote

WvG_853 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Wow! I thought the first picture was the original and the following pictures the Lego version. Looking closely I noticed the lego parts. :-) Quote
DrJB Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 That is sure a beauty! Can you share a bit more details on the construction/features? Quote
KirTech LAB Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Brutal MOD :) Looks awesome in real life! Quote
DrJB Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Was that a lizard at the very beginning of the video? Quote
braker23 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Very cool truck! Size is impressive, performance as well, details are very good and photography is great. Please share the underside shot, it would mean a lot to us :) Quote

Here is some early WIP photos Truck WIP by Alexey Tikhvinsky, on Flickr Truck WIP by Alexey Tikhvinsky, on Flickr Truck WIP by Alexey Tikhvinsky, on Flickr At the last photo you can see that the entire structure is modular. The motors are mounted from the bottom, between the back and front parts, you can see black-red-grey module in the center of the photo. Was that a lizard at the very beginning of the video? Yes, it is Quote
Lucio Switch Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I've already said that I like it, but I'm really impressed by the performance!! Really a good job! Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 This is an excellent build! Cool you used someone else's design and took it your own way... Brilliant, it performs excellently well...!!! :thumbup: Quote
MikeTwo9398 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I saw this beast in the beginning of the movie of topic [MOD] Dodge T-Rex 6x6 Friends Edition and was wondering if it ever showed up in a seperate topic. And here it is.... mighty, excellent build. Quote

Your MOCs are always a source of inspiration for me, I am very glad that you like the result! Edited April 19, 2016 by SilenWin Quote
nerdsforprez Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Any update on the gearing on this beast? I'm curious. So slow (appropriately so...i.e. Not a bad thing) on buggy motors I bet the gearing is something crazy. Edited April 19, 2016 by nerdsforprez Quote

So slow (appropriately so...i.e. Not a bad thing) on buggy motors I bet the gearing is something crazy. All that I have at the moment - this picture from Sariel's calculator: The only adjustment - in-wheel-reductor gear ratio is 4:1, not 3:1 So we have about 530 N*cm torque in total. For example, Madoca's 8x8 Tatra has 725 N*cm and weighs more than twice less Edited April 19, 2016 by SilenWin Quote
nerdsforprez Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 thanks. I had the feeling that it was something quite extreme. This really is a great model. and btw... the first pic, with the light coming through the tires, :wub: IMO one of the best pics of a technic MOC I have seen out there..... Quote
SilenWin Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 So, the *most wanted technic photos* ready! Warning! Completely nude truck! 21+ only!

2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Very clever design, even though it is based on someone else's design, you really did a great job!!! Love the limited slip diffs you used! Edited April 21, 2016 by 2LegoOrNot2Lego... Quote

Love the limited slip diffs you used! Limited slip diffs were invented by efferman, I used his axle design as basic structure. Edited April 21, 2016 by SilenWin Quote
Chade Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 This MOC is utterly massive, and beautifully done. That's one grumpy cat you've got there too Quote
JDL1967 Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 It is not the ACT but i must say a very, very nice build. I like it very mutch. And youre not affraid ti take it in to the badlands.!! Mud, water..... Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Limited slip diffs were invented by efferman, I used his axle design as basic structure. O, I missed that...thanks! Well using a great idea someone else came up with is better then coming up with something that is less... Edited April 21, 2016 by 2LegoOrNot2Lego... Quote
