6x6 Chassis

[Sylvian]

Here's my latest 6x6 chassis,.. which features hub reduction, suspension and a working fake v6 engine with moving fan.

I want to make it a kamaz, and include a working steering wheel and tiltable cab, but it its giving me a real headache,..

This chassis has taken me about 2 weeks to design and build.(not including previous renditions which didnt satisfy me) Also i want to extend the wheelbase by 2 studs because i think the second axle is to close to the xlmotors,..

anyhow i am pretty proud with the result so far so i couldnt resist posting the chassis.

Cheers :)

XL motors will grind those z12 half bevel gears.

Here i added 2kg,. @ 4kg it indeed starts to grind gears,. Nonetheless, i am still pleased :) thnx ;)

Just noticed the fan & engine not working on the previous vid,.. so..

The engine detail is gorgeous

[timslegos]

Such a clean design, I love it. I also really like how you cant see any holes in the frame, very well done. Also great idea using the blue pump as a damper for the suspension. I have always used the pneumatic cylinders themselves but I will have to try the small pumps.

Like others said, its a very clean design. I would try to reinforce the U joints and additionally brace the 12:20 bewel drives.

@M5Technic,. Thanks! I am really happy with those modified plate parts they really make it look better imo.

@Timslego's,. Thanks alot, a clean look is defenitely something i am trying to achieve, really glad you like it :) The real function of the pump is to keep the spring in place.. the idea was kinda born because of that,. But yeah i also like how it looks :)

@Zblj,. Thanks! I will try and see if i can add some some aditional bracing,. If i can combine it with some extra detailing i will be very happy, but i dont know if i can pull it off without have to make some consessions.. the U-joints towards the rear axles are fine,.. the ones that go to the front axle,.. yes,.. its a weak spot,.. i dont know what to do yet,.. because i dont really want to sacrifice looks,... (its a constant struggle :P)

But glad you guys are liking it :)

Anyhow my main point of focus for now is the cabin hinge point which i need to combine with the steering mechanism. If i get this right, i am confident i will be able to finish this,..

Nice detail over all. What is the part number of the cylinder covers?

[MajklSpajkl]

Excellent! I agree with you on those two extra studs betwen axles 1 and 2.

[MaxSupercars]

Sylvian, I like your chassis it looks very good. While it is WIP you make a lot of changes on it likr reinforcing mentioned parts. I'm looking forward for final version. Motor details are very pretty... :)

Great model so far! Nice to see those feedbacks of guys who have seen it all...very useful! :thumbup:

[braker23]

Looks great, engine details are awesome, but can you share some info on the hub reduction? I have no clue how those turntables work, and I'm really curious now :)

[ludov]

Nice detail over all. What is the part number of the cylinder covers?

It's this part:

Brick, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 Two Studs, Curved Slope End (47457)

[Sylvian]

@ MajklSpajkl,. Thanks! It has been done :)

@ Maxsupercars, i have reinforced said parts, glad you like it so far :)

@ LegoOrnot2Lego,. You are right,. But i can be very stubborn at times ;), glad you like it :)

@ Braker23,. If you have some patience I will show you how i made the wheels when i get to the point where i will replace the grey 3L pin connectors.

@Ludo, thnx ;)

Anyhow, here are the improvements,.

I know the CV isnt known for being the strongest part but it copes well enough with added weight,.. bracing the bevel gears was a good and needed idea which defenitely helped, so thanks for that Mlonger and everybody else :) Anyhow, enough for now,. I will do my best to make it something cool in the coming week(s) or so.

cheers!

Ok,.. one last piccy...

:P

This truck is really nice, i think you made an excellent work with all those details and the working functions, the fake motor has a lot of details, and it seems good so far and very capable for off road woth those XL motors, nice work.

[MaxSupercars]

Sylvian,

it looks great! It will be Kamaz right? Very nice cabin.

Max

[JJ2]

Wow! it looks good and robust.

I like the way you did the axles and how you made the powerchain

I know you just reinforced the 12-20 gears but couldent you have used THIS piece?

[Sylvian]

@ ImanolBB, gracias :) thanks for the kind words.

@ Max, thanks alot man. Yeah i will try to make it look like a kamaz as much as possible, havent decided on the grill type though.

@ JJ2 Thanks! The reason i did not used that piece,. Mhm i was afraid the 2 holes off the XL werent enough to hold it.. and the black 20t shows less than the flat tan one,.. other than that,.. i cant really think up any other excuse :P Thanks :)

[Legorigs]

Great design so far.

[Sylvian]

Thanks! :)

[schor]

Great work, I really like it.

[Sylvian]

@ Schor, thnx man :)

@ Lenivkin_Eugene, uhm,.. i dont use ldd if thats what u mean.

@ Horace T, Yes they are,. But they'll never fit on the intended rim after this.

At the end of the model , it would be desirable to assemble the model , and his collection , whether general guide - the photo?
