the actual weight is 5,5kg how it is shown on this picture

[timslegos]

That truck looks super heavy duty, it should be a lot of fun to drive!!

i hope it will be not to heavy, but lifting capacity is existing enough

[Mikuri]

Poor 12t bevel gear D:!

But this lifting capacity is pretty nice :P!

[MajklSpajkl]

That turntable is also mighty strong! No problems with the actuator gearing?

[efferman]

No, the internal planet gear works still fine. Only the 12 tooth bevel gear between the xl and the 20 tooth freewheel is converted into two pieces.

[efferman]

a small question, how do you like the the line of fenders?

[Balrog]

The fenders in the rear are better.

[PhyBuilder]

The rear fenders look better.

But: because this type of vehicle is blocky and straight by itself (which partly makes out the sturdy, robust look), the front ones are ok too. I would definately make them similar though, regardless which type you choose.

[efferman]

the fenders on the first axle are original, so this one is not available for discussion. On the second axle i can do something like on the last axles.

[PhyBuilder]

It all depends on your interpretation: to mimic an existing model 1:1 is something different as your own creation.

But in the end, I think it's okay the way it is right now, because of the diversity a MAN 8X8 Crane comes in. Google Images also displays straight fenders on the front and curved on the back, like the military truck posted by yourself.

the outriggers are now working motorized

[efferman]

It seems the frame and the outriggerbox need some tuning. it is twisting to much.

[Edwin Korstanje]

Poor Lego .

[HorcikDesigns]

You are going behind the limits - ad that's good. I am looking forward to see this one finished ;)

[AndyCW]

Damn that's awesome.

[Rishab N]

Wow thats crazy

[weavil]

That is looking great so far! But that is HUGE! Like pull a muscle lifting ITHUGE! Still keep up the hard work.

[Balrog]

That's sick. I wonder if it wouldn't be better to build outriggers to somehow operate from the upper structure instead.

[efferman]

outriggers mounted on the uppercarriage or controled by the uppercarriage?

[Zerobricks]

Maybe try some studded support - its more rigid.

[Balrog]

outriggers mounted on the uppercarriage or controled by the uppercarriage?

Mounted on the uppercarriage. So the support they give goes directly to where it is needed.

[efferman]

outriggers which rotating with the uppercarriage. interesting concept. or do i understand something wrong?

Maybe he meant outriggers attached just under the turntable, so you dont have the transmit the force through the chassis? Like X configuration 8053 had?

this would really be an option when the height doesnt increase to much.
