June 21, 20177 yr Author Chassis is finished and in a few days I'll post them (needs stairs and rear mudguards). Delay in "evolution" is caused because in June here is a cherry time... BTW what is the most common additional equipment on Unimogs?
June 24, 20177 yr Author Finally I've managed to upload images of latest version of my Unimog U423 with short wheelbase. Axles are the same, but I have some idea to make axles narrower for one stud, but need to make it and see if it is strong enough,,,Here are images on latest version you can see that other features remain the same like simple gearbox with two states one for driving front and rear pto and one as power supply for additional attachments you can see here e-motor "pretends" to be a fuel tank   cab tilting remains on model ... I have plan for implement but as I said already reconstruction of front axle is next step... Â

Bigger models are heavier and have significant stearing problems. Edited June 25, 20177 yr by I_Igor

July 1, 20177 yr Author During process of redesigning front axle, I've notices that front chassis part is not sturdy enough and whole front part is wobbling...so I have to make it stronger and result is this  as you can see here front axle part was redesigning with four of this suspension arms https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15459&idColor=86 to make front axle less wobble. After attaching a Cab I've realized that due to heavy front part of the truck Tires from black cat are to soft, so I had to make use of 62.4 Tire on 68.8 X 24 rimm and use parts like here in the photos to make even tire surface    Next thing is to redesign the cab - need some small changes because of strengthened front chassis part.  Edited July 8, 20177 yr by I_Igor

Hi Matt, Suspension is like on real Unimog implement carrier - solid axles suspended by shock absorbers and coil springs and located by 4 longitudional links. If you can not see it on previus posts, then I'll make another one - both front and rear axle (I don't want to dissassemble Unimog) and upload images Greetings down under Edited July 10, 20177 yr by I_Igor

July 10, 20177 yr Author Hi Matt,  front axle is like this; but with additional liftarms at the bottom to make it more sturdy  bottom view  so far I did not manage to recreate rear axle, but within few days I'll made it Axles on Unimog have black parts as much as possible... enjoy Â

Matt, Â here are images of rear axle as you asked me for. It is not a rebuild, but the one that I used in this model due to some changes to chassis with now integrated small e-motor as a fuel tank for longer version, but I'll upload images of truck not just axle asap, so you can see what I mean...

July 15, 20177 yr Author Here is current state of this project which is very close to be finished. Probably tomorrow Unimog will be finished, because remaining things are very simple to make... Â Â Â Â Â As you can see I have switched back to longer wheelbase to integrate central differential... Edited July 17, 20177 yr by I_Igor
July 17, 20177 yr Author  Update time... After some tweaking on axles and chassis, I've ended with this version which will be for longer period of time. I mean longer period because nothing lasts for ever. Chassis is 99% final version, and only thing that I have to finalize is tilting bed, so enjoy in photos (if you have time for this after reading 42070 set review by @Jim)  Edited July 17, 20177 yr by I_Igor
July 17, 20177 yr Look good, also thanks for sharing those pictures of the axles. Also, what happened to the attachment with outriggers?Â

Also, what happened to the attachment with outriggers? Thanks  Attachment with outriggers is in the box (plastic box for mostly red technic parts) because I can not make it low enough on chassis  and want them to be part of attachment and not as a chassis part. So I hope to implement them on another Unimog that I've started few years ago, but did not have enough money for two additional Arocs for outriggers so model's chassis is partly finished... Thankfully now we have 42061 set, so I'll try to use them on U5023 Unimog... This one will have tilting bed and snow plow in future...currently is over 30 degrees celsius and in next days temperature will rise so no need for snow plowÂ
July 21, 20177 yr Author Fellow Eurobrickers, this is the final stage of Unimog U423 Long wheelbase, as you can see 3 way tilting platform is finished (which is the most used "attachment" on Unimogs). Tilting platform solution is very similar to one that Michael Wirth - @efferman made (I found that later when searching the Internet for some better idea than mine with small Linear Actuator, he uses big one...) but only with small LA. so let the images talk for themself    As you can see when red switch is in back position it switched e-motor to Linear Actuator, and when it is switched in front position, e-motor powers on both front and read pto... In the future I'll try to make axles more narrow (have some prototypes for front axle, but everything at it0s time...) @schraubedrin you can check if my model is worthy by comparing it to one on Gaggenau area...despite they are now built in Wurth Edited July 21, 20177 yr by I_Igor
