Wheels need to have no bigger diameter than the unimog ones. What we need is for the rim to be larger and tire smaller and we need more inset, or depth, so we can actually fit the suspension bits inside (and a braking system).

its more the relationship between width and diameter. look at this picture

the width is the same, but the proportions of my crawler tires is much more realistic. 94.8mm is a good size for the diameter but the 8110 tires are simply to wide.

So then a new pair of gears would solve this issue :)

Yeah, lol - Or I could just go back to the stock gearing of two 16 tooth gears(1:1), anyway late on when my building are is clean I will take a couple of photos:classic:

More inset is the key. If you look at real world hubs on cars, the inset is usually the whole depth of the hub. Many truck wheels even have the inside face of the hub sticking out beyond the outside face of the tyre, so that when two are placed back to back, there is a gap between the tryes without the need for spacing.

I absolutely love those tyres :wub:

I tried to make a few photos to night of the gears, but I couldn't get them properly focused, so I ain't gonna upload them.

My Unimog 6x6 Forwarder

The front end is mostly stock. The crane is based off the logtruck's. It uses 1 Med motor for 6 functions, PTO F/R, Compressor, center slew, 2 for the crane. Right now the rear wheels are setup like a road grader. It also has a set of outriggers.

Door open, there is a stick inside to hold it open.

Nice. Do you have a pic of how the second axle is mounted?

Not right now, I'll take more pictures to-nite. Its held in place with 4 friction pins with bush.

Wow fantastic MOD! The cage around the cab looks awesome. How about a video of the functions?

tim

Thank you, I have a bit more of work to do on it.

Some nice bits there, all I did was RC and add a second pump to fill an air tank. This was all needed to drive the tilting bed and pneumatic out riggers for the stock crane. The one thing I would like to add now is a telescoping section for the crane, I think this will make it much more playable.

No rear axle, out riggers need more better attachment.

Internals, took a few attempts, I'm looking at giving the crane it's own motor for both functions. The door worked out great, I will have to work on my other Mogs do the same.

A clam shell design inspired from dr_spock's, I didn't have two of the other buckets. The rubber band helps it close better. The shovels are off set 1/2L to help the teeth mesh.

Attachable grader, inspired by the PTH Speed Grader. It's all manual, this is version 3.

Well that's how I spent my vacation. I still need to do work here and there.

I love the grader attachment. it is very original! Nicely done.

tim

Thank you, when I found it on the web attached to a Unimog I just had to make it.

Thanks Dudler. I'll drill for Lego Power Miner's crystals. :classic:

Thanks for the rear axle pictures. Looks like you were having lots of fun on your vacation.

Nice work on the grader. That's a very interesting piece of equipment. You could probably use the pneumatic and/or PTO to control it.

@ dr_spock

I think you have built just about everything! How about a log trailer?

tim

I have a log frame for my hook lift trailer. Does that count? :wink:
