efferman Posted April 22, 2019 Author Posted April 22, 2019 Ok, this will need self driving platforms to come around the corners. Maybe only in the back. Quote

I am watching this with most interest.. Quote
efferman Posted April 27, 2019 Author Posted April 27, 2019 The chassis is driving. Please note there is not enough load on the back to compress the springs on the drive axles. So the last axle is in the air Quote
M_longer Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 It is fast. Will it have enough torque to pull that trailer with additional load? I was going to use 2 XL motors with two speed transmission for similiar purpose. Quote
efferman Posted April 27, 2019 Author Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) It has the same reduction and same Motors like my tow truck and i guess it is enough. edit² Enough for today. The servo on top is for the fifth wheel. Edited April 27, 2019 by efferman Quote
efferman Posted April 28, 2019 Author Posted April 28, 2019 a break for lunch and the Tower is done Quote
1gor Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Very nice how you managed to camouflage battery box IMHO looks like SLT truck version. Kind regards my friend Quote
efferman Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Seems i have to rebuild the Tower a bit. the PF Connectors are colliding with the cab. edit: Problem solved Edited April 30, 2019 by efferman Quote

Beck Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Fantastic model thus far! I'm kinda wondering if those U-joints might break under the loads that you will be towing. Also, you're missing warning lights on the cab. Quote
efferman Posted May 1, 2019 Author Posted May 1, 2019 Even when a u joint might break the othe xl will dive its axle. One of the xl is directly mounted at the axle. Quote
1gor Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Yes it works fine. Just one question (out of curiosity): how many trucks do you have assembled? Quote
efferman Posted May 3, 2019 Author Posted May 3, 2019 actually the tgs, the wrecker , the SLT, k100 and my U4000 Quote
1gor Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 And I suppose TGS, Wrecker and SLT are in scale 1:16.5, K100 is 1:20 and U400 (yellow?) Is1:12.5? Quote
