Lol I love the scared minifigs What no room for motors?

[efferman]

no, even for fake motors was no space

[lightningtiger]

Not bad digital design there 'efferman', though I feel you could have used trans-clear/smoke panels for the windscreen.....no wonder that guy looks scared.....no protection from the front ?

Brick On LDD On 'efferman' !

Nice truck, I hope to see it pulling that large bulldozer someday.

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Totally cool: this huge tractor looks perfect for your caterpillar!

Fantastic MOC

[efferman]

Thanks guys

Lightningtiger, yes a windscreen would be better, but with the angled corner this is in this scale not possible.

I have a question: Would you prefer a good groundcontact of the tires or a working steering mechanism on the trailer like below?

Would you prefer a good groundcontact of the tires or a working steering mechanism on the trailer like below?

Both please! But I had to vote for one it would be the steering mechanism.

[efferman]

ok

in between i have made a small alternate. The steering mechanism is in the second version less complex, but the axles are now pendular. lxf

[efferman]

The Trailer is almost finished, or have you any suggestions?

[Zerobricks]

Looks good, only thing worrying me is the fact that the rear trailer's axles are both pivoted so the only thing keeping all upright is the truck.

[efferman]

Thanks for the suggestion, you are right.

edit:

problem is fixed
