8110 - Unimog - MODs and Improvements

T_Tank · December 28, 2011

I could try a worm gear but it has to be before the knob wheels at the cab if possible even before the steering shaft goes to the CV but that does mean redoing the entire front axle to allow a worm to be used for steering.

I would try to have all your gearing down right by the gear rack, move the CV joint back to give you some room to have it between the rack/pinion gear and cv joint. This should eliminate some of it.

Santa brought me an 8110 =)

Does anyone of you know which other LEGO Technic Models fit the size (scale?) of the Unimog?

8047 Compact Exvacator? 8043 Motorized Excavator ? How about the Trailer of 8063 Tractor with Trailer?

Regards

8466 and the 8297 should have the same scale

I added a pneumatic driven bed to the Unimog already some weeks ago. Some of you gave me the challange to ad a 3-side bed to it. Here it is! But I was inspired by Barman76 and his blue Unimog. He used a small LA for it.

It is still in prototype stadium, so there will be some additional changes upcoming.

See 4 more pictures in my flickr photostream. The pictures there also have a bigger resolution.

Hello Gerhard,

first I want to say that your three-way-bed is fantastic!

I would like to build this three-way-bed too. But I have got some questions:

1. Where do you mounted the pneumatic cylinder at the foot of it?

2. Where do you mounted the second pneumatic valve for this function?

Could you please take some pictures for me?

Especially I would like to get a detailed view of the under side of the bed, the modifications you have made on the frame and the mounting of the cylinder at the bed.

Thanks for your help!

Greetings,

Bastian

Could you "Deeplink" the pictures and the LDD .lxf file?

Anika Vuurzoon's
