Posted May 14, 201113 yr On his Brickshelf gallery, LUGpol member Nienio recently posted 21 pictures of his Lego Technic Unimog U5000 Trial Truck. He discussed his MOC on this English translation of his original LUGpol post, from which one can get the truck's specifications: * One Power Functions (PF) XL Motor provides a 1:8.4 gear ratio for rear wheel drive * One PF Medium motor is used for steering * Opening hood (bonnet) and doors * Dimensions: - Length = 54 studs - Width = 25 studs - Height = 30 studs - Wheelbase = 33 studs * Wheels = 94.8mm * Weight = 2.1 kg He also posted this :
May 23, 201113 yr One thing about this MOC that intrigued me is the gearing in the rear axle. My interpretation was that the 2 pairs of 24 teeth gears were used to reverse the drive, but this seems redundant when the yellow knob wheel could just be swapped to the other side. Is there a reason for this method in truck trial?
