Hi everyone, I am pleased today to present you the latest changes to my Caterpillar Ct660: the most important being is that I managed to pass the frame with single propulsion from Ingmar (2legoornot2lego) to a 6x6 chassis! It took me a while to get there, but I ended up doing it by completely redesigning the rear axles. The second change is the addition of a dump bed, which was not at all clear but has been greatly facilitated by the new configuration of the rear axles.

For my truck I was inspired by Ingmar's trucks and thanks to him because this is the first time I am able to keep one of my moc as long (for 9 months). Normally they stay nearly 3 to 4 months assembled!

Functions

Steering done by a servo-motor connected with two universal joints to the front axle;

Propulsion: motor-XL> 12t / 20t-> 12t / 20t / differential;

LA (tipper): m-motor-> 8t / 24t-> LA

The bucket is operated by a switch hidden in a control panel:

For the aesthetics of the dump I opted for something simple, that is to say, square edges. And visually, it goes well with the design of the truck.

Here are more photos:

This is absolutely impressive my friend, job well done! :thumbup: Always nice to see how my models influenced your builds and that you go your own way with things...excellent! :wub:

Love how you used shock absorbers for you suspension, very cool! Also nice that's 8x8, it must be very powerful!

I really think the colors are much better then your first version... Are you intend to keep it this way, or do you have plans to make it a little cleaner?

Thanks for all your comments!

Ingmar, what do you mean by "cleaner"

Jurss me too but when I check on 3d models of the ct660 from side the front grill seems to be flat but on pictures it seems curved!

Kiwibuider, you're welcome!

The photos are just making it look curved, if you look at it from the side you'll see that it's flat:

Sorry about image size, it's from Google Images

There are these Black lines and at the back of the cabine there is some Red. Are these on purpose? IMHO these color details do not add much...so I was wondering... :classic:
