That's the way Lego should have made it. Looks great efferman! I may have to change mine as well when I get it.

[efferman]

my minifig D11 has no special parts which are including only in 42028, so there is no need to buy it.

[efferman]

a test boom for the extra large actuator. i hope the geometry fits to it

Looks sturdy. GJ Efferman! ( my phone kept trying to autocorrect GJ to FU, lol)

[efferman]

My Trial truck recovery project is reactivated and here are the front axles

ldd files ar following later

[MajklSpajkl]

Looks very promising! Do you have any photos with the tires mounted on those turntable wheels? How good is the grip between tires and the turntables? Do you need any additional fixing for it?

[efferman]

sure

the grip between tires and turntables is very high. look at this vid

thanks for all of your praise. i hope you like the following Video too

Could you please make a motorized 42008? Please? or at least offer advice on how to do it?

[efferman]

doesnt have the ugly 42008 tow truck an M motor included. or do you think about an rc version?

the front part of the frame is done

[efferman]

the backend is done too, who can find the error? no, not the chaos on the table

[MajklSpajkl]

Sorry, but you'l have to enlighten us on the error, well me at least :)

Only now I've spotted the clutch gears next to the diffs - I guess this is your limited slip diff. solution - well how good does it work? I feel that it would work good for lighter models, but for this giant of yours I am not sure. Or is the torque that the clutch gear can handle so much higher than the one needed to move the truck futher on when stuck due to differentials? I guess I should try it to understand it - can you post just the gears "x-ray" if you made one?

[efferman]

a error hint: 8 pieces, but one is wrong

the gear x-ray

the limited slip diff works surprisingly well, look simply at the driving test which i have posted in post # 1467

I think this is a result of the combination with my planetary rims.

[Black-Build]

You've got a different front wheel, is that the error?

[efferman]

these is the rear axle, but yes, it is a different tire. i dont have found my eight ansmann

[Black-Build]

ah... I wasn't paying attention to front or rear axles...
