I have started building the 8846 Tow truck studless remake for the "[TC20] Technic Studless Recreation Contest"

I have started with the front axle:

As you can see, I will use a bit wider tires, also It will be one stud wider, so it will be 13, not 12 studs wide. 

Then, I have built the rear axle, and almost finished the chassis.

This is all progress for now, more in next post.

Thanks!

The rear part is done:

Functions and mechanisms are the same like in the original model, just built with modern parts. I will improve the look of the crane and the look of the truck itself.

So i continued...

 

 

Almost finished:

Using LBG belt wheel for wheel cover and corvette tire for front knob(?) will good.

All wheels woud be nice those narrow ones.

I know, but I don't have the corvette wheels.

As I don't have the corvette wheels, I used a sprocket as a front knob.

Finished:

All functions are the same like in the origilal model. The only one missing function is working steering wheel (out of space). Uses a bit wider tires than the original model. the front knob is a sprocket. both front and rear winches use 3rd-party strings, but LEGO-ones from the original set cal be also used.
