Hi efferman,

the bumper looks good. You're kidding, you aren't really lacking parts?

Pat

because transclear tiles are very rare in technic sets, this is unfortunately true

Would you mind explaining how the gearbox works? I am still trying to figure it out.

tim

There are simply some clutch gears and some spur gears. No shifting mechanism or something similar.

I dont know if it is possible, but a picture would really help!

I have placed a ldd file some posts ago.

The cab is almost done

easy access to battery and channel switch

some rudimentary interior

Hi Efferman,

very nice cab. Bit shouldn't be the door handles placed lower?

Can't wait to see it in real!

Pat

oops, yes you are right

Thanks

a small family meeting with Pat-Ards U20

Hi efferman,

thanks for posting the pictures. It was a lot of fun, as usual...

Pat

Indeed, it was a funny afternoon

UniMog gang detected;)

Masterpiece ;-)

Compared directly to eachother the added ground clearance of the customized portals becomes cleary visible.

@Pat-Ard: very nice and realistic U20. You made a good use of the new panels!

Love those customized portals. Did you need to do much fine tuning after printing? Are they compatible with wheels that comes with lego 8110 unimog or do they need 3D printed wheels too?

Looks like I already did find the answer ;) Better get rims too...

They work with standard rims too. There is only one stud difference between the pivot points.

Some cleaning was neccessary, because some holes are not a perfect circle. Pinholes are no problem, but the holes for the driveshaft has to be cleaned by a 4,8 or 5,0 drill to get a smooth rotation.

I love it, looks great.

I really like your chassis design with the curved lines, I otta steal it :) Good work again Effe!

thanks guys, for more easy replicating i have made a ldd file of the chassis. the servo which is still missing in ldd is made in green, thje placeholders for my portal hubs are transclear

Hi efferman,

great work - as usual!!! And thanks for sharing the lxf!!! It'll help building my U4000.

Pat

The Unimog looks fantastic. I have a question, is there a noticeable difference on the amount of current draw for the servo motor when turning with the custom portals hubs compared to the LEGO portal hubs.

i use a 20/12 gear combination, with the 20 tooth on the servo, and the servo has no problems during steering
