Posted November 14, 20231 yr After several years I am back! My latest MOC is Lego telehandler based on CAT TL642. Since it is not an exact reproduction I decided to change name and logos. Buwizz and iPad are used to control it remotely. There are four motorized functions: drive with PF L motor, boom elevation with PF L motor, fork tilt with M motor, and steering with PF servo. Front wheels are driven through a differential, and the rear axle has a simple suspension. Overall, it is maneuverable, easy to operate thanks to the proportional control of Buwizz, and very fun to play with. Please check out my flickr and https://www.flickr.com/photos/marat_andreev/ my instagram www.instagram.com/legomarat/ Interior controls are made with stickers Also I found a nice reflective sticky paper to make mirrors Edited November 14, 20231 yr by legomarat
November 14, 20231 yr Wow, it's amazing you managed to fit that much functionality into such a small, detailed body! Too bad there's no boom extension, but I can't imagine how you would add that without making it a very different model--I guess it would have to be much larger to fit an extra control channel plus the extension itself, so it's perfectly reasonable to exclude it. Again, I'm very impressed by the Technic functionality you got into such a tiny model, without making it ugly!
November 14, 20231 yr At first I noticed that the telehandler is very massive but when I realized it RC in this scale it blow my mind. What a fantastic, compact and detailed model! Edited November 14, 20231 yr by eric trax
November 14, 20231 yr Looks really good, and functionality is OK. Sadly, boom doesn't extend. Then it would be perfect.
November 14, 20231 yr LOL - tough crowd! Yes, it would be great if the boom extended but you did a great job creating this regardless of whether the boom extends or not.
November 14, 20231 yr It's great to have you back @legomarat, and such a wonderful build for your return. I love the shaping of the body with the system bricks, and all the little details like the mirrors and light. Great job with the functionality as well.

November 14, 20231 yr I totally ignored the telehandler. And now clicked on the link by accident and realized it is motorized - AT THAT SCALE! I had this dafuuq feeling in my tummy, you know what i mean! What i wanted to say is: could be useful to add the motorization to the title! Great MOC, i like it a lot.
November 14, 20231 yr Now I'm shocked; you managed to squezze all that on model with 56mm tires; and I got constant headachse trying to integrate 2 XL motors, 2 Servos and one L motor , recgargible battery box + 2 receivers on 1:15 scale model based on 107mm tires. I'm to old for this...
November 14, 20231 yr So clean, really pretty. Flawless combination of technic and system, really well done!

November 22, 20231 yr Extremely impressive!! I thought this was a city-like, non-motorized MOC at first, this blew my mind... very realistic too, great job! :P
