Kiwi_Builder Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I am currently most of the way through my latest project to build a large Technic house moving truck and trailer. I had also been wanting to build a Scania T143m, I have never actually seen one in real life but their 'lack of curves' without better terms has always attracted me to them. I have currently got the truck built with the trailer a few hours' work away. The truck is RC with 3 functions; XL motor for drive, servo motor for steering and 2 L motors for a sliding turntable. There is also a flashing light mechanism that automatically turns on when the battery box is started. The XL motor is geared down to increase torque and decrease speed, so far the only main problem I have encountered is the drivetrains gearing is prone to slipping from the resistance put up when pulling the trailer. I have braced the gearing from the top, bottom and one side, so if anyone could give me help on how to stop that happening would be much appreciated. The truck is 50cm X 18.5cm, has 58 light pieces and weighs 2 kilograms. While I have been MOCing for many years now this is my first post on EB. I have put some photos up on Bricksafe: http://bricksafe.com/pages/Kiwi_Builder/Technic/house%20moving%20truck I will hopefully have a video up in the next few days. All feedback is appreciated, Adam (Kiwi_Builder). Edited January 16, 2015 by Kiwi_Builder Quote
Saberwing40k Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Well, if you want to upload images, just use a site like Brickshelf, Bricksafe, or Flickr. Then, it's fairly easy to link images. There's also a bunch of tutorials on another section of this site, about all kinds of things. 58 light pieces! I'm looking forward to seeing this. Quote

Kiwi_Builder Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Hehe sorry about that mate, first time using these websites, try this link instead http://bricksafe.com/pages/Kiwi_Builder/Technic/house%20moving%20truck Quote
bonox Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Wow - that's really impressive mate! I really like the whole rear of it with the fitting guards, but I really love the running board standout using the curved panels. The way you managed to make the stickered pieces from the original parts fit with the new model is also outstanding. Edited January 17, 2015 by bonox Quote
Kiwi_Builder Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks that means a lot bonox, you made my day! Quote
Kiwi_Builder Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 UPDATE: Project postponed until a later date due to combination being destroyed while being moved in the car These things happen I guess... My new current project, a Technic MAN SL202, is here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=106914 Quote
Askan Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Too bad it was broken, because I think it looks really good and it would be interesting to follow the development of your MOC. As mentioned by someone else, the rear is amazing. The only critic I would have is that maybe the cabin looks a little to much squar /quadrangular, but maybe that would change with some work on the top of the cabin. anyways, I hope you get back on track with this one, because i really like it :) Quote
Olof Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I really like the design of it and can't wait to see the finished model! Quote
