October 28, 20177 yr Author this one  edit: The frontaxle and progress on the cab Edited October 28, 20177 yr by efferman
October 29, 20177 yr Author Small Update A new Front Axle. The last one was wayto fat Rear Axles with Trailer couplings Roundabout the wheelbase
October 29, 20177 yr Author The Diameter is 85mm and the threadpattern is 25mm. The total width is 31mm. Unfortunately they dont fit on lego rims.
October 30, 20177 yr Interesting project Michael. It looks like you like military trucks (especially M.A.N.). Pitty that LEGO does not produce such tiresÂ
October 31, 20177 yr Author Igor, i simply like the shape of the modular Cab. Maybe the cab will later placed a stud higher
October 31, 20177 yr Michael, you're not the only one who likes modular things. My problem is that I'm to much purist, and third party parts are to expensive for me, so one things are my desires, and another is what is possible complete with LEGO parts. It looks nice. Perhaps I have miss-red previous posts, but can you tell me which is the M.A.N. scale ?
October 31, 20177 yr 34 minutes ago, efferman said: It is the typical 19 wide scale, aproximate 1:16,7 So tires on real machine are Michelin 24R21 (typical industry and military tires with some 1420mm overall diameter) and chassis should be as you said 19 studs wideÂ
October 31, 20177 yr Author The chassis is overal 22 wide because the real thing is wider than standard and your tire diameter should fit
November 1, 20177 yr Author The X73/HX80 has 2 winches which have separate controlls. Would you remote two winches and left the fifth wheel manually, or would you build one winch and remote the fifth wheel? What do you think?
November 1, 20177 yr Author We have the same opinion so i have made a dual winch with mechanical free run for pulling out the rope
November 2, 20177 yr Effe the truck looks great but I think the windows are either to big or the roof to high
November 4, 20177 yr Author I know, the side windows are a half liftarm to tall btw, it drives, pulls and shakes the cam Â
