jorgeopesi Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 I want , How much do you want for it?. Not for sale sorry, if I make instructions someday you will be the first in my list and as you see in the video I have to do something with the tracks to improve the MOC. Quote
Rishab N Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Works very nice although I do have to admit that the tracks are painfully slow Quote
jorgeopesi Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Works very nice although I do have to admit that the tracks are painfully slow I think so but the real machine has a max. speed of 11´6 km/h forward and 13´3 km/h reverse, this machine is fast only if it is carried by a truck .

My brain isn't working properly today Ah ok, but I think the ripper isn´t slow at all, in the video it is slow because it is lifting the machine (2´5 kg), if you use it on sand or bricks it is fast.

jantjeuh Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Do you have an 8275 to compare it to? It looks absolutely massive. Edited October 1, 2013 by jantjeuh Quote
KirTech LAB Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Very beautiful model! And functionality at very high level! Quote
jorgeopesi Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 Do you have an 8275 to compare it to? It looks absolutely massive. I don´t have it and I have always wanted one... the dimensions are 57x25x18´5 cm and the 8275 is 47x24x18 cm. Quote
jantjeuh Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Quite easy to Bricklink a 8275 together, that's what I did Especially if you already own 8043 and have some XL motors. Really the only expensive parts are the pneumatic cylinder holders and the four yellow track wheels. Edited October 1, 2013 by jantjeuh Quote
skriblez Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 The 8275 is so expensive to buy :( Bet your dozer would pumle it though ;) Quote
technicfan Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 How do you design all the internal drive and functions?, I would love to be able to build something like this. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 How do you design all the internal drive and functions?, I would love to be able to build something like this. There is no secret, the key is the 8043 and build as small as possible to put everything in the necessary proportions. Quote
quilkin Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 For the tracks, I'm puzzled you didn't use the old chain links http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=bb76 which run with the driving wheels you've used. Two sets of these in parallel, joined with 1x4 plates, would be a good size. Or wouldn't they strong enough? Quote

[/b] I don´t know how strong they can be, just I love tracked vehicles and I invented this. At the end of the video are the tracks I will put on the komatsu, they work better than the rubber ones, they are strong, flexible, you can make them so wide you need (snow vehicles for example) and even you can use yellow liftarms, I love them.

jorgeopesi Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 Tracks working and a lot of changes, only 5 small motors this time and smaller than the old komatsu but I am tired... no more bulldozers until now. Quote
Jeff Schield Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Impressive model. The treads are rather neat and probably work great since they are rubber. Quote
Doc_Brown Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 What a beast! Great job! I love the details, but still looks technic style. The functions are fantastic and the solutions you have come up with are just great! :thumbup: Well done indeed. Quote

The functions are fantastic and the solutions you have come up with are just great! :thumbup: Well done indeed. Technic is the style I like, the Model Team style not allow many functions in the small or medium scale MOCs. If someday I build a big tracked crane or a rope shovel or something with less features like loaders or dumpers maybe I will try to make them more realistic outside, but the fact is that what I like is the inside the outside bores me much . Thank you for comment again. Edited October 12, 2013 by jorgeopesi Quote
Milan Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Impressive model. The treads are rather neat and probably work great since they are rubber. They are impressive but they are made not from rubber connectors, but from 1x2 black liftarms. Am i right, jorgeopsi? Quote

Milan Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 So now when you have finished the tracks, can you make comparison...pros, cons of both plastic and rubber tracks? Quote
