Legoless Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 When I clicked on the link in the frontpage I wasn't expecting this model to be so tiny! I marvel that you've been able to model a recognisable truck so well and yet so compactly. Well done you! Quote
Derfel Cadarn Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) You legend! That is so awesome, ive always wanted to build one of these. The fact that its radio controlled and the drum spins is just epic. You must of put a lot of thought into designing this and its paid off. Great work, you've earned a beer!

BrickWild Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Very good! And, what does GBC mean? Any vids of the entire GBC? Quote
DLuders Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 And, what does GBC mean? Any vids of the entire GBC? GBC = Great Ball Contraption. See entire video on this Eurobricks post. Quote
BrickPerfection Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Very great MOC! The amount of detail and its acczracy is simly stunning and the fact that you added both the remote controlled power functions AND the possibility to work as a GBC module makes this really a creation that stands out of so many others! 2 months of building for that monster is actually rather fast! Bravo! Quote
bricked one Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Amazing, simply amazing. Keep on brikin' Lasse D Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 WOW! This is a beautiful creation! It looks just like the real thing and is highly detailed. I love the compact design. Any chance of sharing what's inside the drum? Quote
Leg-godt Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Beautiful! The drum looks great and I love how it's set at an angle. Quote
Rajwinder Singh Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 A very well done concrete transit mixer. I am also going to make one. Quote
Lasse D Posted August 9, 2011 Author Posted August 9, 2011 The cement truck has now received a greater update in order to improve stability in all functions. This is how it looks now in standard mode (not many changes): The changes have mostly happened underneath where I have given it a new frame with fixe drive axle, much stronger and more compact steering mechanism and suspended rear axle for improved grip. The cab now comes fully off when transformed into a GBC module. It is now much easier to service in a GBC layout: Here is the new mechanism Red: Steering. The triangles ensure the bricks don't fall apart Blue: Drive. The 1:1 gear ratio makes it faster than before and grip has been improved by removing the differential. Green: Suspended rear axle. Yellow: New GBC mechanism is much more reliable than before, especially since the barrel isn't a transitioning part of the gearing anymore. Quote
