BiohazardRacer Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Hi y'all. I wanna show you my new MOC. Its a 3 axled Daf 85CF 6x4 crane truck The idea comes to stand after seeing a beautiful Ginaf 6x6 from the dutch company Nederhoff. At first i wanna try to make the same short chassis but wen i went building i found out that it aint gonna workout the way i wanted it. So now its a bit longer but more into scale. The whole truck is completly new and build up from the ground. The trucks cabin can tilt, has interior and underneath the cabin there's a fake 4 cylinder engine(6 cyl was to big). The complete crane was build in red and is supported by 4 stabilizers, the 2 at the crane are free turning and extend 1x, the design is rather simple though. Because a picture says more than a 1000 words.... opening doors interior fake engine stabilizers Any comments are welcome Quote
unimog123 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 It sure does look cool, but is the crane arm a modified 8258 crane arm? Same with the outriggers, right? Quote
BiohazardRacer Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks for the reactions. @Unimog123: yes the crane arm is heavily modified, i didn't like the standard single extension and want to make it more accurate with the real thing so the crane now has 3 extensions with a jib with 3 extensions but due to the modification the crane is real heavy, to heavy for the xl motor to unfold it by it's own strenght so it's need manual help unfolding. If you mean the front stabilizer, they are my own design. Quote
unimog123 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Well nice job with the modification of the crane arm. For the stabilizers I just recognized the rear ones because they look very similar to the ones on 8258. Quote
N-4K0 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Nice crane truck Edited February 25, 2014 by Error404 Quote
Junpei Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Wow.. that is awesome! It''s a beautiful MOC. I really like the crane arm as well. TLH Quote
Doc_Brown Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Very cool! Some great functions packed in there. I like Daf's Quote
Brick_Sticker Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Very nicely done! Love the detail on the engine and crane arm. Brick_Sticker Quote
BiohazardRacer Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Everybody thanks for the comments. Because the Daf is a bit lonely, i'm already making a new moc. This time it's a Daf 3 axled heavy transport tractor with steered 2nd front axle This was the truck last day. A day later the truck is looking like this Behind the cabin stands a tower which gives place to a large hydraulic tank, air reservoirs and a cooler for the torque converter, on top of the tower are 2 worklights placed Underneath the truck i've made a look a like retarder(torque converter) For now this is still a WIP so stay tuned ;) Quote
unimog123 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Nicely done! Are you going to give it a trailer with some kind of attachment as well? Quote
BiohazardRacer Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Yes the plan is to make a 3 axled lowloader with attachable/detachable gooseneck but i'm running a bit short on lego, so i need to take a look if i can make the trailer. Otherwise i will make it partly with old studded technic beams Quote
Lost_In_Noise Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Great work, thanks for sharing! Keep it up! Quote
Jody Meyer Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 excellent looking trucks, nice work on detail. Quote
BiohazardRacer Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 Since the last post i've done quitte some work. I've given the truck some interior and started making a lowloader for the truck This was 2 days ago and i would like to present you the finished product. The gooseneck Lowering The support for the gooseneck The lowloader itself Attaching the gooseneck and a few more together with the Daf cranetruck I'm eager to know what you guys think about it Quote
skriblez Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Nice work. Can you transport something on the trailer without problems? Like the 8043? Quote
BiohazardRacer Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks . To be quite honest I surely don't know, I don't have anything to transport but I think it wouldn't be a problem. I already had about 1kg on the trailer and it hold quite good. Quote
BiohazardRacer Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks . @98267a, No there is no video and I don't panning on making one, just because everything is manually operated( no PF-infrared is used)I don't see the point of making a video. At my home there just static models even though they have working functions. Quote
Johnny P Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 very nice trucks. One question .how does the steering On the trailer works?. Grtz Johnny DAF CF 85 daily driver. Quote
BiohazardRacer Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Thank you . The steering works manually (due to the leg of infrared stuff), true a 20 tooth bevel gear between the 2 signal lights Each axle has a different turning radious Quote
Tji-chan Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Hoi hoi Nice love for sure the crane on the truck, and nice jop on the cylinders for sur going to use that in the next truck crane. I made also a flatbed trailer if you are intrested in it take a look over here, http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Album=YRKTLWYQ Muddy Quote
