@ davidmull: Do you mean VFracingteam's

of his Lego "Dakar 2012 New Unimog 8110 Orange Edition Extreme Test"? Here is a ROUGH translation from Dutch to English: "The model is Lego Technic 8110 with complete RC - 2x XL engines and 1x small engine for the steering winch....Film and fotos made [by] Edwin Korstanje and have been incorporated in the dunes of the Netherlands."

My failed attempt at a backhoe

Too heavy

Don't give up!

Would realy love to see your next effort!

How is it to heavy, in the slew of it ?

Try gearing down the pto and use a worm gear.

It would tip the whole truck when it was at 90 deg to the truck frame. Even with outriggers. It probably needed a bigger base.

Also it was self contained, IR controlled it all. The battery box acted as a counter weight.

What about some new rear legs like those on cranes mayby telescopic ones?

I need to make a larger base and have wheels to spread out the weight, the turntable is just to small. I may make a second attempt after the holidays, I'll just have to share the IR rec. with another model.

Out riggers do help.

@radar92

maybe this instead:

or for your idea where the back hoe has its own operator and rollcage, extend the bed and add a third axle:

Cypr-21 (Cyprien Cattet) has added his Snow Blower and Spreader for the Lego Technic Unimog U400 to Technicmad's Rebrickable webpage. See more info about them on Cypr-21's website.

I have a pneumatic one built right now similar to that. I need to adapt it to 8110 scale, it's based off a Lego backhoe design but slew is by PTO. I built it for Technic tractor scale before I knew how big the 8110 was. I have a bunch of trailers to convert still.

I went with the other design so it would be full self contained and hands off save the out riggers.

Wow nice attempt! What is the attachment on the front of your UNIMOG?

[Alasdair Ryan]

I am guessing it's a front loader.

Another pic showing that would be good.

[zewy623]

hey radar92, does the back hoe have to be motorized?? im sure you can just ad some extra pneumatics (if u have some) and that should get rid of some weight, if im thinking correctly about how you built it.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Here is somthing i made quickly it's a counterbalance,you can place it above the slew ring but below the cab (in the middle).

I have added the file so you can buildit your self.

He is actually using 1 xl for driving , 1 xl for steering and m motor for winch , he just replayed on YouTube to me, he has a rear locked diff also, I'm just wondering has he installed the motor for drive in the centre like lots of us did,he seems to have better power tho :(

Thanks, few catches, It was placed based on clearing the crane, any further back and it would hit, only 2 IR rec.

I looked at a gradall

I think he use the wheels to balance it

Because the Official Unimog 8110 thread is not really popular anymore, I am going to post my findings here.

I don't know if you guys no but I found an interesting picture of the prototypes of 8110.

Here is a picture of the prototypes.

(I can't believe they scrapped the black rim idea!!![look at the third Unimog from the left])

And here is the already known image.

Wouldn't mind some pics of the very first prototype.

[JunkstyleGio]

@ Sama: Would love to see more detailed pictures of the protoypes.

And yes dropping the black rims was a bad idea!

(Fortunately i have some myself..)

@ Sama: I like more piccies of the protos too, some up close ones would be great

I likeg but what's I attached too?is that ur unimog?

[radar92]

Yes, Its based off the U404, an older small unimog, but compatible with the 8110. The mount points are only 2 studs lower. PTO is in same position too.

I think that is the best mower have seen so far! I like the white safety nets around the blades.
