sdotcarter Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, Im looking for a dumptruck to fill out my collection. I have (ultimate) 8043, 42006, 42009 (soon to be grove) and am looking to purchase 42030. I actually like the 42030 b model but was hoping to see if there was something a little bit more filling out there. Looking for RC if possible. I'd like to set up a little display with them all "working" and that's why I need a dumptruck. Thanks for any help. Edited January 23, 2015 by sdotcarter Quote

Sinthoras Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) In summer wave 2015 isn't the set 42043: Mercedes Benz Arocs 3245 some kind of dumptruck? And I believe it comes with PF and new pneumatics. Edited January 23, 2015 by Sinthoras Quote
andythenorth Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Nobody's really sure, there are lots of rumours. Nah it is, I'm trolling, it's a 4 axle dump truck with crane. You could look in the rumours thread, but it's full of idiots trolling Technic Bricks has a much more condensed summary of known info: http://www.technicbricks.com/2015/01/brickset-has-news-about-2h15-technis.html http://www.technicbricks.com/2015/01/2h15-lego-technic-releases.html Edited January 23, 2015 by andythenorth Quote
doug72 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I built the B model of 42030 from spare parts I had but didn't like it due to th "open" construction of the dump body. Tried in-filling with yellow foam board but didn't look right - so consinged to the spares boxes again. Now building MOC of a tracked dump truck - with track units & suspension based on the 8275 bulldozer. Tracks are driven is by a XL motor through a subtracter unit with an M motor for steering controled by PF RX Dump body raised / lowered by L motor - took awhile to get everything squeezed into the under carriage and to get pivot points correct without fouling the XL motor. Dump body will be operated by a PF switch disguised as the engine exhaust pipe ! Dump body built, with parts to hand but need to order more 5 x 11 yellow panels to complete. Next stage is to build the cab & engine bay sections. Sorry no photos or instructions as I am building it on a try it and see if it works and looks OK basis.

gevans12 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 You could also look at D3k's 6x6 modular truck too http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=103016 Quote
Osuharding1 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I've built D3K's 6x6 modular truck with the tipping bed he also designed and it is an excellent size with great PFs. It's a model that I think you would really like or its at least something you should certainly look into. Edited January 23, 2015 by Osuharding1 Quote
gevans12 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm planning on building it soon to go with Jurgen's Zorex excavator and the Arocs when it is released Quote
Rishab N Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Check out Designer Han's creations he has a nice dump tuck and hauler Quote
Blakbird Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 M_longer has a spectacular R/C dump truck. I thought I heard he might be making instructions, but I may be thinking of another model. Quote
Bricktrain Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 you could modify 42030 B model http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bricktrain/construction/p7190094.jpg or build your own http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/bricktrain/construction/p7210099.jpg Quote
sdotcarter Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Bricktrain, your B model all filled in looks like it may be what I'm looking for. It looks great. Thanks for the replies so far guys Quote
