Effe's MOC Corner

So simple, and yet I didn't even think about that...

[efferman]

thanks guys, i have made a ldd file of the outrigger for you

The outriggers look very robust!

[Saberwing40k]

The outriggers are nice, but as for the crane boom I'd reccomend using something like this: A 3 section boom, with the outermost section 15 studs wide, the second being 11 studs, and the innermost being 7 studs. This gives you plenty of room for reinforcements, especially if you want to lift 9398.

[efferman]

15 studs will be big and if i have 15 studs in height......

anyway, for the outriggerdrivetrain i neead more space in the frame so i try somethin which is not originally to the M.A.N

independent suspension. i hope it will give me more space in the frame and easier adding more shock absorbers if the final weight is too high for one shock absorber.

i hope it will work under high load

Looking good, efferman! I like how you are using the 20t and 12t bevel gears together for added strength. Clever idea there. :thumbup:

And if all else fail you can use knobs.

100 percent correct

during the search for a steered independent suspension, i have built a mcpherson version. u8nfortunately i have only 3 old style pneumatic zylinders so i could not build two front axles. but i want to show you one of the suspensions

Very interesting use of the cylinders!

[efferman]

well, because double wishbones are not really solid on steered axles, so it seems i have to copy the tatra front axles

[Doc_Brown]

This is too awesome!

Forgive me for asking but I thought pneumatic cylinders haven't changed in like 15 years or so? How do they differ? Thanks.

I believe he is referring to the square bottom of the cylinders rather than just a studless mount.

The progress looks great effe, I love watching you build.

[efferman]

indeed, i need the square bottom for the mcpherson suspension. and for this, purists may excuse me, i have raped a big pump and modified it to a pneumatic cylinder with one inlet.

please note that this is only a provisoric mount for testing the steering

I'm kind of wondering why you just dind't just buy another one of off Bricklink .

simple answer: my wallet is currently more than empty

[Saberwing40k]

Oh man, that sucks. By the way, I just noticed some black stuff wrapped around the U-joints in one of the pictures. What is that? I'd kind of like to reinforce my joints the same way.

I think its rope to reinfoce the joints.

[efferman]

yes it is thin rope from the lego sets. unfortunately it is neccesary to tighten the knots from time to time.

btw, a short test with an "bollerwagen"

roundabout 20 till 30 kg weights the flatbed with load

This is really cool! Can't wait to see the finished truck.

I see that German mate drives VW passat:)

Well fancy that...a German man driving a German car....

[efferman]

oh it is not mine, i am driving a lupo

btw small car

i think the flexibility is enough

Will you redo the rear suspension with pneumatics too?

[efferman]

at the rear axles it will be an damper/pneumatic hybrid. the dampers will hold the m,ost load and the pneumatic cylinders will do the load balancing between the wheels
