(well, I'm a bit late) Despite I have to say that there are a couple of pics that doesn't convince me totally, there are some that are wonderful and nailed it the complex shape! Hello, Lucio! I'm very pleased you found time to look thruogh and like my work! 1 hour ago, Lucio Switch said: I know that it's the bottom and none will see it (unless you are an EB member), but can I suggest to be more clean with all the pneumatic hoses? Of course you can! I appreciate your critics! Make sure I will consider this in my future projects  supercars! 1 hour ago, Lucio Switch said: About the differential issues, I think that a gearbox is useless, yes it's cool and complicated, but it just decrease the performances. My Crane truck has 4XL motors a bit up geared that drive the differentials, and after that they are down geared on the portal hubs. So you increase the speed on the differentials but you will decrease the torque that they have to endure. No doubt U R absolutely right! I'm thinking of making my next truck driveable but without complex gearboxes like yours are. Edited August 31, 20177 yr by Aleh
September 4, 20177 yr I'm not sure too many will be able to build this behemoth It's so well built, but yes the gearbox should change

Many people built MOCs and put them on the shelf for ages... My next truck will be simplier but be able to drive... Promise 9 hours ago, LvdH said: That's great! This is one I'd love to build one day... Thanks mate! I'm very pleased most of AFOL community appreciates my 8 months of hard working... Edited September 5, 20177 yr by Aleh

September 5, 20177 yr Really looking forward to the instructions for this. Using Buwizz would take some weight off while providing more power, so you could probably get the model to drive without having to ditch the whole gearbox.

Just now, suffocation said:  weight Weight equals aproximately 7,580 Kg inc. wheels, all PF 4 AAA and 12 AA batteries(!) PS: Wheels + rims from fuel tanks + all PF + Batteries = 2,230 Current weight will be publicated soon.

I think the parts count will be exaggerated by the number of pins and axles used But still the amount of lift arms used here is staggering
September 9, 20177 yr This MOC is just breathtaking. It is one of the few trucks that actually has beautiful aesthetics. I am still amazed each time I look at the pictures.

Oh, sorry about that. I did not realize the instructions were photo sequence. Maybe I will be the one to build the LDraw file then!
September 24, 20177 yr Woaaa so cool to see my gearbox in such an amazing MOC ! If you need a gearbox for your next MOC it would be a pleasure to work together to create a custom one.
October 13, 20177 yr Made some progress. 1112 parts now, but still a long way to go! I am starting to get the impression that this thing is big.
October 13, 20177 yr It's huge...just finished the first pdf and amazed how many parts there are but a really fun build. I figure another week and I'll be done!!
