Posted August 29, 20204 yr In my trailer thread i prommised something new and here it is... In germany there's a scripted reality in tv caled "Truckerbabes" and it's sometimes funny, if you stay there while zapping. One Lady is driving for "acargo Hamburg" and the company's style is complete yellow. Evererything is yellow, including the grill, which is otherwise black and what's usually chrome is now black. This lady is driving a Scania but they also have the TGX and that's my absolute favorite truck. I already had the honor of driving it and fell in love. So my decision was easy. The right color concept and the right truck. I only had to design it studless... At first i thought it was impossible, but somehow it worked. The first try, only the left side: Comparison with the Magnum: And now, a few days later:
August 29, 20204 yr Looking good! 1 question, I noticed you have some black rims. Did you paint those or are they another brand? I’m also building a truck and I need black wheels for that. Thanks!

You can pull it off again from rims, but i don't think off plastic rims with structure. The result is better than the spray on the trailer rims, whithout primer the opacity wasn't so good.
August 30, 20204 yr I like the Man, but also the Magnum I think it is very well done. Do you have more photos of it?

Take a look in my galery, i think i'll link it to my signature: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Huwi The Magnum was build from fotos, but i can't reach DamianPLE to get the permission to share it. Actual i'm working on the TGX.io ...

September 4, 20204 yr Author One week is over, i completed my TGX and digitized it. Today i added the front and side bars with lights. The next days i'll print the stickers and i'll try to build the custom LEDs. Functions: - Ackerman steering - 2 XL for drive ( gear ratio 20:12 with new diff) - steered fifth wheel (3d by efferman) - full suspended - openable doors - openable roof for access to the rechargeable box or Buwizz My yellow version has rare parts, so i decided to rebuild the "Lion PRO Edition" and the way is prepared for an instruction. The slope of the grill and the roof window must be implemented with stickers (maybe electrical tape), the sun visor would be changed too.
September 25, 20204 yr Author The yellow one is the PF version and now i build the PU version with the "LION PRO Edition" body. We're working on a instruction for both versions, the body will be the same. The result of the test drive is that the PU isn't powerful like the PF, because the technic hub has a overvoltage protection. It could pull the trailer with 3 containers at the limit, so the safe max weight for the PU truck will be 5.5 kg. It's enough for the shown combinations.
October 27, 20204 yr Really like this " @efferman" design tow trucks Somehow M.A.N.is more appealing to me than Scania is; perhaps there are more TGSs here than (Scanias) V8s... Edited October 30, 20204 yr by I_Igor
