damjan97PL Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Technical data: Dimensions: -Length: 43 cm -Height: 20 cm -Width: 13,5cm -Weight: 2000g -Suspension: Full-dependent -Propulsion: 1XL motor -Wheels steering: 1M motor For a long time tempted me to build a dump truck. The problem came when I wanted to have all the functions a remote control. I installed a transfer gearbox which choose whether a truck driving or lifting the bed. It has 2 large Linear Actuators for tipping. The cabin is modeled on that of the Arocs from 42043 set. Truck has a 6-cylinders fake engine. The cabin is tilting like in Arocs. I am waiting for your opinions :D PHOTOS: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=563338 Quote
jgw Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Nice truck! I have to admit that I like the rear more than the cabin. I dont know what it is, it doesn't matter that much Quote
kb7 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 For only using one XL motor it seems to be quite fast. I also like the idea of switching between drive and tipping, but I think it just takes up more space because you still are using three motors plus a gearbox. Quote
Lakop Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 That's a nice dump truck, love the front lights. Just the cab needs a different colour scheme. It looks heavy duty. H Quote
technicfan Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Looks a bit different to the Arocs , can you put up some more photos of the diff/suspension setup in the rear and the gear setup for the rams?. Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Hi, over all not bad but I struggle with the idea of having a gearbox. Why not simply using the 3rd motor to tip the bed? Also I think there is too much "arocs 42043" in this MOC.... The chassis looks a bit fragile and "empty" (you can clearly see it under the engine looking trough the wheelarches, and in the rear where the tipping bed meets the chassis it's just too empty) I did enjoy the video!

Technic Jim Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Nice model and video. The truck looks great with just a hint of Arocs but the suspension seems quite hard and limited in range. Would it be worth changing the yellow shocks for some weaker grey ones? Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 This is a nice build, really love the colors of it! :thumbup: About the suspension, the travel seems not to be that much...what is limiting it? Quote
