Rishab N Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I just realized that they're all inside a huge bucket Edited February 13, 2014 by Rishab N Quote
davidmull Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I could film this sunday and posting on monday if not on sunday =) Do that please :) I just can't get over how messy that frontend (the bit between cab and bucket) looks. Or is it just me? Looks very close to the real thing but I do think the distance between the front wheels and bucket is too much. The rear end looks great tho. The front just needs a bit of filling between the two from wheels. Edited February 13, 2014 by davidmull Quote
GoldVillage Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 nah its not just you, the front end looks way off and so does the liftarms - way too tiny (they should been more massive) and the tires are way too small but overall... i still like it ;) Quote
eiker86 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I have filmed, but the internet is bad, so will upload it tomorrow I think. Here's another pic from another view =) Quote
merman Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Those trucks are 8258 with a yellow tipper. Nice! Quote
eiker86 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I have uploaded uneditet video to my Youtube-channel. Edited February 15, 2014 by eiker86 Quote
efferman Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Look at the end of mvi 4327. A very good closeup of the dozer. Thank you very much Quote
Moz Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I'm slightly amused that the 8258 dumper has walls that are slightly too high for the wheel loader to clear. In the meantime, I'm trying to motorise the B model from 42009. It needs 7 of 8 channels from the remote control but it seems pretty straightforward. Unfortunately that leaves me one channel for a B double to carry some more containers. Quote
zux Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I still wonder how do they lock 42030 in "turned" position. Quote
Zerobricks Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Simple, turn it on steer the loader and turn it off. No power, no return to center. Edited February 16, 2014 by Zblj Quote
davidmull Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I have uploaded uneditet video to my Youtube-channel. Great videos thank u,I think the front looks a lot better than I taught. The distance from the front wheels to the bucket looks perfect(I taught it looked off before) Quote
Lakop Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Are those trucks part of the new sets? H Quote
paul_delahaye Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 What I think those videos prove is just how bad the steering is on 42030 Quote
shadowhearth Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I would actually love those trucks themselves! Fully RC would be great! I guess those trucks were only for Demo to play with. so many panels used in them. Would not be cost efficient for lego. :( Quote
davidmull Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 What I think those videos prove is just how bad the steering is on 42030 I'm sure it can be geared down easy enough. If it's too slow it won't be very playable. I'm really starting to like 42030. Quote
Foggy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Like so much the 8258 modified trucks... Quote
Freekysch Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Well, that what they are. 8285 with tipper, not a actual set. Quote
Shagga Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I'm sure it can be geared down easy enough. If it's too slow it won't be very playable. I'm really starting to like 42030. I think that's the problem; it can't be geared down without loosing steering angle. You'll have to replace the servo motor with e.g. a m-motor (geared down in several steps). That's probably not too complicated, so I don't really understand why TLG has gone with the servo on this one.. Quote

Probably because they designed the servo to use in sets like this,they spend lot of money designing new parts so they will get there value out of them. Quote
rener Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Probably because they designed the servo to use in sets like this,they spend lot of money designing new parts so they will get there value out of them. Probably too because with normal motor return to center is a lot harder to achieve than with a servo. Quote
Moz Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 The problem with that with only 7 steps the servo can't turn very far or the steps become unreasonably large, and they'd always have to gear it down for steering. I wonder if a mechanical servo/slave couple be made, using (say) a large linear actuator driven by an M motor, then mount a switch on it that turns one way or the other depending on the difference in angle between the servo and the actual steering. I suspect the large hysteresis in Lego switches would cause problems. Quote
davidmull Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I wonder how would it perform using the train remote? Quote
