August 13, 20168 yr Sounds cool, might try it later. will se if I can manage to fix a front axle with diff. feel free to post Idea for cab and front axle. Remember that u4023 and u5023 have different axle like 8110 set, and u216-u530 have like this one. My chassis is partly finished so I can take picture of it and post in this topic... enyoj Idea for cab and front axle.

September 19, 20168 yr Sounds cool, might try it later. will se if I can manage to fix a front axle with diff. feel free to post HI, first of all I apologize to all who were waiting for my images, but arrival of 68.8 wheels took 3 weeks and the I realize hat front axle needed to be redesign because when I put planned weight on those chassis, soft tires had contact with portal axle hub and behave like brakes... so here are preliminary images (when folder will be public), but when model will be finished I'll post on this Brickshelf folder complete model and update description. you'll be able to see portal axes and chassis that has some similarities with 8110 set, but is smaller and under planned weight steering works good...general planned functions would be both pto working and pneumatic compressor pump with 4 valves for attachments (one at the front, one at the rear and 2 in the middle) http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=566106 thanks again for permission to post

May 3, 20177 yr Author Well..... been long since last post ...... but by now I'm at my final stages at school.....so this month I found the 42043-Unimog again.... got a lot of dust since last time .. haha .... I kinda rebuild the whole chassis, to make the 4x4 work proper, stronger and with front diff. but that meant less room for other functions ....... Well, the cab, Front and bonnet is the same, as I really liked that part .... :D ... Only 1 note for the 4x4 build...... I wasn't easy to build the 4x4 with that few U/CV joints in the 42043 set..... so for connecting the FWD, I simply had to add a CV/joint extra to the set .....

Sadly there is not enough room to implement portal axle hubs something like this inside this wheel. Very nice development
