[MOC] Tiny Unimog 406 dump truck

[Pego]

Hello!

Here´s another moc that I´ve built:

Tiny Unimog by Pego's Legos, on Flickr

The functions are:

• 4x4 drive (M motor)
  
• Steering (M motor)
  
• Dumping (M motor)
  

It has no suspension as it would be impossible to fit it in there, but the chassis has some flex (maybe 5-10 degrees) so it´s not too bad offroad.

I wanted to replicate an Unimog 406 as it has big tires and a short chassis.

I want to make another similar Unimog with a bucket up front to be able to load up this one.

I love it!

[nastystage]

very nice little truck!!

Great shape and functions

[Sylvian]

You rock when it comes to tiny offroad machines!

[THERIZE]

Yep that is tiny! And she looks awesome!

[LegoMathijs]

Nice shape and compact. Well done!

[TinkerBrick]

Quite recognizable as an Unimog. Impressive how you managed to squeeze everything in there.

I love it small and well armed.

That is unbelievable! The truck has all the functions motorized and everything you would expect on a model 4 times bigger! How did you adapt the battery for use with the power functions, and how well does it drive?

[Paul B Technic]

Great work to add some many features to something so small.

[Pego]

Thanks guys!

Well, almost, it lacks suspension :)

The battery is a 9V with a minizip cable:

It drives like a trial truck; slow and without diffs, it slows down in corners because of the extra resistance

I love it, its TINY! Is there any chance of a LDD file?

[Epic Technic]

Very cool! It looks really good, like JJ2 said, any chance of an LDD?

This is technic essence. Great MOC, only the wires need to push into the cabin.

Your solution makes me consider to buy a minizip cable. How is the performance with 9V battery compared to normal AA Battery Box (last, output voltage)?

Thanks!

LDD file is coming, possibly today.

Compared to a Lego rechargable battery the batteries have maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of the runtime, and a little more voltage. I don´t know much of the AA batterybox though.

I´d say, if you have a Lego rechargable BB it´s worth it, if you have the AA BB it´s a must buy!

[agrof]

Thank You for the answer. You don't leave much space to making this decision, do You?
