Effe's MOC Corner

I think he means more sections like we often see on trucks, mostly 4 or 5 sections.

So all the printed parts from the crane cost €105,- together?

That's a nice price.

Maybe in the future.

Effe you got 2 movable sections that are together so long as the base section. In real life is every section near so long as the base section and every section is extended with separate pneumatic cylinder.

Do you plan to make it so? Per section 1 pneu cylinder? And/Or to add more sections?

How rigid are the sections? I got your big LAs from shapeways and the material (nylon?) is significantly softer.

max, the new pneumatics has a stroke of 48mm. To make the extensions the same length as the outer box is wasted money. And the connection points are not possible. More sections would make the tubing extremely complex so i have skipped this.

The sections are solid enough for the lifting power. No bending or squeezing.

This is so cool!!! This 3D printing thing has reached its next level!!! Higher of course...haha...!!! This allows to build such a realistic crane, well done buddy!!!

a small quiz: what will be the goal?

[Dafgek81]

I have no idea, but it has to be wicked knowing what you have done in the past.

[efferman]

it will be a reboot of something which i have build in the past

[Dafgek81]

Still no idea

a small quiz: what will be the goal?

Providing fresh batteries fast enough? :)

[efferman]

?

no, my big G gets a second live with a different chassis setup

POWER!!!

Some sort of big truck or off roader perhaps?

Providing fresh batteries fast enough? :)

I guess this is a hitch rather than a goal :D

[efferman]

This is a reboot of my big mercedes G

Are the tilted beams for a base for the front axle which would give it caster? so that the axle itself remains simple so you can have reliable 4wd.

I ask because with most Rc buggy's i've seen the caster is pulled of that way (also in some moc's of mine and eg 8675)

Looking forward to the new version of your awesome G :p

It is the central part of the chassis

Efee,

I tested this setup in my Tatra 8x8 and it is not the right way for big torques. Rather use the longitudal setup of motors to avoid 90 degree power transfer via knob gears which will be destroyed...

Oh, this grind on the knob is extreme. Thank you vèry much for this advice.

[efferman]

A small Change in the plan. The axles will be the same like the ones in the first G. So the chassis will, except the crawler tires, 100% lego

[Dafgek81]

Looks nice so far.

[JJ2]

Looks great

[efferman]

Thanks!

Now i have to decide which body it will get at the back

Station Wagon, Crew Cab Pickup, Two seater with long flatbed or a convertible Pickup?

Great progress. Will your model have opening doors?

[efferman]

No, openable doors are heavy and i dont want increase the weight to much
