Effe's MOC Corner

[Balrog]

Nope, correctly understood. But I understand this is a special challenge to construct, because of

a) space in uppercarriage

b) aligning the outriggers so they still provide diagonal support.

I think the approach could produce very interesting and challenging results.

[efferman]

lets think about what happens when the turntable is between the chassis and the uppercarriage, and the outriggers are mounted to the uppercarriage.

The outriggers will be pushed down to stabilize the crane. the crane is lifting the payload and the additional weight of the payload is pushing the stabilizers more to the ground.

how the boom could rotate? stabilizers with wheels?

Haha, good point efferman!

I don't think that it would work if the uppercarriage could really rotate when the stabilizers are deployed. I didn't think about that before. It would work if the stabilizers somehow "rotate" around the uppercarriage, but that would pose similar problems as with stabilizers in the chassis. Hm ... forget my idea please

iam actually waiting for some parts, so i have began with the ldd file.

[efferman]

small update with the powerswitch

[efferman]

Batteryboxes and the sparewheel winch are added

[Zerobricks]

What a beast! Will you use AAA or LiPo?

[efferman]

Lipo Batterys, fortunately i have enough of them

[Zerobricks]

Lipo Batterys, fortunately i have enough of them

Nice! Will you have any left

[efferman]

no, these are all of my lipos

[efferman]

the cab is done and the base of the outriggers is placed

[Freekysch]

All looks great and i cannot wait to see this mean machine in action ! .

[Pluto_MkII]

What a huge truck.

How sturdy is the design?

[efferman]

The rear frame could twist a bit, but everything else is really solid.

[efferman]

The outrigger box is complete. lxf

[efferman]

in meanwhile a flatbed version of the THW, a technical support corps in germany. not sure if this colour scheme is possible but when it is extremele expensive

[Zerobricks]

That looks really nice! Nice usage of studded beams for the chassis.

[efferman]

thanks

here is the ldd file

[Zerobricks]

Thanks for sharing Effy Whyn you will be building this beasty make sure to turn the H frames on the axles in such way that the diff doesnt touch them (groves). The model looks just foxing maassive! Oh I would also reinforce the damper support a bit on the upper, chassis side.

[efferman]

oops, it seems i have forgot that. many thanks zblj, but ifirst i will try to finish my recovery truck. at friday the new parts should arrive.

[DrJB]

Very impressive build ... One question though (apologies if it has been asked already). Why such custom wheels? Are you planning some third party tires?

[efferman]

i use my ansmann tires on the planetary wheels

[Technyk32231]

yes that was my inspiration and currently iam fighting with the front grille. in meanwhile iam working longer on the front than for the chassis

hopefully the contest is not really a simple body shell contest, because this 1954 pickup is my idea for the contest.so be patient, more pics from the full moc will not come till the contest begins.

Efferman, it seems as if this suspension is actually used in real life...https://www.google.com/search?rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-US%3AIE-Address&tbm=isch&q=sliding%20block%20rear%20suspension&revid=1547902220&ei=lwZ6VPeHJfSHsQSh94Eg&ved=0CCMQsyU&biw=1280&bih=599

[efferman]

Cool, thanks for showing me this.
