Lucio Switch Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 I really envy your MOC collection kandykop Hatred is taking over envy! :laugh: Very nice trailer. Would love to see instructions and steering axles if possible. But it is so cool and everything is nicely tucked away behind the sideskirts. The steering system didn't work properly. There was too much backlash on the fifth wheel and the long axles, that transferred the steering movement from the fifth wheel to the steering rack, twisted before turning the wheels. If the tractor turn and the trailer's wheels remain in straight position, it's not really a problem. But if the truck is on a straight and the trailer's wheels are steered...well, it's funny but weird. That's why I recommended to Kandykop to build it without steering system. Quote
NXT45 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Hi I've been looking at the instructions and can't find where part 2450 goes. Can someone give me the page # it's on? Quote
NXT45 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 EDIT: Found it. I just made the truck and whenever I try to drive it the gears click and the a few of the XL's disengage. Has anyone had that? Does anyone know how to fix it? Quote
jantjeuh Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Make sure all the motors are turning in the right direction. Quote
kandykop Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Use train remote controller which can control the speed of motors and increase speed gradually. There is no gear down for driving. If you just apply the 'full speed' of the XL-motor from a 'stand-still' position will result in too much stress on the whole drive train. In this case, XL motors disengage. Quote
NXT45 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Make sure all the motors are turning in the right direction. Yes they all are. Do you want me to take a video?

jantjeuh Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I don't know what's wrong then, I had no problems when using a train remote. Quote
vliet Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I had a similair problem using multiple IR receivers and it was caused because not every receiver got the signal from the remote Quote

vliet Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Make sure that the remote is pointing to the receivers and the truck is not in bright sunlight. Quote
Dafgek81 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Would changing the IR-receivers with two SBricks for drive make a difference? With two batteryboxes used to drive the four XL-motors, I ques that you would need two SBricks, one to connect to each box. Would they fit good in place off the IR receivers, or would it take much structural rebuilding? Quote
Lucio Switch Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 What did you do to fix it? I have nothing to add to the proposed solutions, maybe try to lift the rear wheels and check what happen without load. Would changing the IR-receivers with two SBricks for drive make a difference?

NXT45 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Make sure that the remote is pointing to the receivers and the truck is not in bright sunlight. This is not the case, I am using the truck indoors far away from sunlight. I am trying to strengthen the motor/ wheels assembly. Do any of you have more tips? Any help would be appreciated! EDIT: I am rebuilding the rear axles. I may have done something wrong. If the problem persists I will upload a video. Edited March 21, 2015 by NXT45 Quote
Dafgek81 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Lucio, Did you mean you can try, or that you can not try to replace the IR reeivers with S-bricks? Quote
NXT45 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Guys, I have fixed the truck! The problem was that there was to much friction on one of the axles. I noticed that after I rebuilt the axle that had the issue. Thank you so much for the support!!! Quote

Lucio Switch Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 Seems that somebody (SilenWin ) wasn't happy with the performance of my truck and decided to pump it a bit! Check it out! Quote
SilenWin Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Thank you for posting video, Lucio! Here is some photos in addition: Quote
Blakbird Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Nice job on the modifications! I like the way it looks with the black on bottom half. Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Model was great already, but speeding it up... :-) Well done! Quote

Strojnik80 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 It's a really big truck. Hope that one day I'll also big this truck. Are the tyres from UNIMOG truck? Quote
vliet Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Those are Unimog tyres. You need 10 of them. Quote
NXT45 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Those are Unimog tyres. You need 10 of them. Actually there are 11 of them. One is a spare which is behind the cab. Quote
Pikdivx Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Thank you for posting video, Lucio! Here is some photos in addition: Hello!! Would have you other photos of the modification? Thank you very much Quote
