dfs473 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Hello members, Its a long time ago since I presented you my latest creation, but I´m still building models. In this topic I want to present you my entry for the 6th technic contest: Its a Case TR 270 compact loader It is very suitable for the sBrick. It has 4 functions with 4 M motors. One for the left crawler, 1 for the right crawler, 1 for raise the boom and finally one for the shovel. The shovel can be replaced very simple. Its only hold by a axle thanks to the quick coupler. Here are some pictures: Side view Bottom: More pictures can be found on my Flickr page. And finally a video! Hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to comment I wish every contestant good luck ;) Edited January 18, 2015 by dfs473 Quote
Zerobricks Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 What a nice idea for 4 functions model! You did a great job with this one, I love the black tracks and the use of big and small LA's. Cant wait fior video. Quote
Dafgek81 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Very nice model, do you have more pictures? And any chance on instructions? Quote
Mark275 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Very nice and extremely compact! I like how you put the driveshaft for the small LA on the arm Quote
DrJB Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Very nicely done. Typically CTLs (Compact Track Loaders) come with rubber (not steel) treads, though not sure there is a Lego one that could fit. Nonetheless, you have replicated the 4 basic functions of such machine in a very nice/compact way. Edited December 26, 2014 by DrJB Quote
Lakop Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Nice. Look forward to the video and to see the functions in action. Where did you get the black tracks? H Quote
DrJB Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) ... Where did you get the black tracks? ... They were first available in the Mars Mission MT-61 Crystal Reaper , and lately introduced in several Bionicle/Technic/Mindstorms sets. http://www.bricklink...colorID=11&in=A Edited December 27, 2014 by DrJB Quote
dfs473 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Nice. Look forward to the video and to see the functions in action. Where did you get the black tracks? H I use the ones from the Technic set 8263. Finally updated the first post with new pictures and a video. Enjoy For more pictures visit my Flickr page. I´m now working on a LDD file for that beast!

marceriusLV Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Great model! I like the way you can change attachments. Quote
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I think it is the best trackloader that wil be in this contest. realy love it Quote
Milan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 There will be maybe even 4 or 5 tracked loaders, this one really might be the best! Compact, great use of space for the mechanics, nicely executed function and good look! I am building also one, but slightly bigger. Quote
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 that wil be a Fight between a lot of loaders for the entries Quote
Milan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I hope so! And I hope that everybody else who is building tracked loaders will finish them, so we could have proper battle :) Quote
power1369 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Great work on this. I like the quick attachments for the fork and bucket. Quote
Jim Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Not a big fan of "yet another loader", but I must admit.....this one is very well done! It's compact, looks great, works like a charm. My compliments Quote
LeocornoProductions Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Not a big fan of "yet another loader", but I must admit.....this one is very well done! It's compact, looks great, works like a charm. My compliments ditto XD I agree with jim, I'm not to crazy about loaders, but this one deserves the recognition and applause. This is extremely well built and very well designed, well done. Quote
darsedz Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 beautiful, compact design .. reminded me of a little robot cleaning our Earth... wally ;) Quote
Jim Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 reminded me of a little robot cleaning our Earth... wally ;) I had the exact same feeling! Quote

Enjoy For more pictures visit my Flickr page. I´m now working on a LDD file for that beast! Will be interested in how you fitted every thing in a tight space . Quote
MacKaiwer Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Wow, I really like this one Neat little beast with excellent working functions. Good luck for the contest, you should win Quote
Omikron Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Some say its average density is close to a neutron star Quote
Foggy Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Woww, i like it so much! looking forward for instructions 'cause would like to add to my collection. is just my opinion or this boom seems like too big for the model? maybe the 8853 would fit better, but this is just a particular Quote
SimonSalomon Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Nice looking moc! Any progress with the instructions? Looking forward too build it myself Quote
Tclancey Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Superbly compact and the scaling is all lovely. I would love to see some instructions for this. :o) Quote
