Posted July 22, 201311 yr Hello everyone! This is my newest lego creation, the tow truck from Johnny English. The truck is completely remote controlled. It has six functions, but only four motors. Two L motors and one M motor drive the functions, and one M motor drives the gearbox. At first you can control the steering, the driving and the outriggers, after using the gearbox the crane’s rotation, the height and the length. The truck is 47 cm long and 15 cm wide and very heavy and crammed with gears, motors, gears, axles, beams and gears... I made a funny video, which shows how the truck works (with real speed), but has a story, too! :D You can find more pictures and a description about the crane on my mocpage: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/365406 Thanks for watching!

July 22, 201311 yr Awesome vid ! Your presentation is very original, that's great ! The MOC is nice, I like the cab, but the wheels seem inappropriate (maybe try 8258 wheels ?), and the crane rotation looks jerky. :/ And that's too bad you haven't included the Aston Martin.
July 22, 201311 yr :D WOW this is just too good! Great model, and fantastic video! Very funny and clever. :thumbup:
July 22, 201311 yr Author Thanks everyone! @Leewan: I think the wheels are ok. You are right, the rotation is jerky, behind the link you can find the reasons: http://www.flickr.co...ath/9343538632/, and the Aston Martin would be heavy for the crane, and expensive for me! @kieran: Sorry, no XL, L drives it. M drives only the steering and long-short mechanism. Edited July 23, 201311 yr by Gabor
July 22, 201311 yr Good work. I very like the cab because it seems realistic, I also like power functions that aren't exposed.
July 26, 201311 yr the coolest power functioned set i've ever seen !! how much did it take to design ?
July 29, 201311 yr Author Thank you very much! @Numbeel: It took one month (near school). I had the power functions from earlier sets, except the actuator.
