GBryan22 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Here I present a big toy "A DAF XF Euro 6 for heavy cargo transportation" My inspiration came from this SCANIA And the Daf that can have more than 5 axles but I wanted to rejuvenate a bit by asking a cab all latest: And the model in LEGO TECHNIC Detail of the craft in LEGO: Tractor pusher 12x4 Length 110 cm Width 30 cm Height 40 cm Weight 8 kg engines: 5 XL motors for propulsion of the first 5 axles. 1 The motor for the direction of the first 3-axle and that of the last. 1 M engine for hitchhiking compressor in the rear box Rechargeable Battery 2 switches 6 extensions 50cm pneumatic networks 4 mini pumps 4 commands: -A Blue for pressure build-up or empty the fuel system -A white for front taps. -A Yellow for the center of the truck. -A red to the rear of the truck. Here I think I made the rounds of the truck I judge you: ( the truck been updated since the pictures will come later ) Edited June 16, 2016 by GBryan22 Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 8 kg... So much wheels. Man, it's crazy truck) Quote
GBryan22 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 I like the truck out of the ordinary but you're right , it is a heavy can it's complicated for trips exposisions Quote
Lakop Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 That's a big truck. I would love to see a video of the functions. Maybe if you can't take it with you, make a video. H Quote
GBryan22 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Here's the video of my unfortunately no video truck on the function but I 'm going to start another day Small link to the video Edited June 16, 2016 by GBryan22 Quote
Milan Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Nice and massive! You are using just one battery box for 5 XL motors? Quote
GBryan22 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 Nice and massive! You are using just one battery box for 5 XL motors? Yes, but most of the time it does not roll . It is placed on blocks for the exhibition and idles so the battery does not get tired :wink: Quote
Milan Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Yes... And rechargeable battery does not cut power due to the overload from 5 XLs? Quote
Aleh Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Really it's crazy huge! Awesome truck! Much more bigger than the mine one but the same scale.. Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 That is AWESOME!!! The sheer size of that thing... It makes my largest build small and insignificant... Terrific job! Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 This build is massive! Great job and yes a video would be awesome! Quote
GBryan22 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Posted June 18, 2016 And rechargeable battery does not cut power due to the overload from 5 XLs? no it works fine This needs a trailer. the trailer is under construction , it is even larger and more complicated to make the truck . This build is massive! Great job and yes a video would be awesome! yes , it is quite massive and the video I try to make in the coming months Quote
L3gonut Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I rebuild 42043 to Bmodel, last weekend and I thought that was heavy... nice build(Y) Quote
Dafgek81 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I love Daf trucks. But IMO the cab is to big, it makes the wheels look to small. The cab is way to long also. I could not build such a truck from scratch myself, so I think it is a good attempt on a Daf copy. Love all the tech stuff inside. Edited June 19, 2016 by Dafgek81 Quote

I also like the DAF, I agree with you too small bottom wheel but not much choice were the biggest . After that I only the first version there will be an end of the year . I am a mechanic at DAF and it helps me a lot to the design. As for the interior of the cabin it has evolved since . Edited June 20, 2016 by GBryan22 Quote
GBryan22 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Wow, this is huge! Oh, yes it takes up space , he lives in his carrying case almost all year :wink: Quote
Dafgek81 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 At which dealership are you working? Somewhere in Holland maybe? I still think you should scale down the cab, would look better. You could take a look at Dennis Bosman's site, he has build a lot of Daf trucks, the are studded though, but I think the look better than most studless versions. Quote

I work at a DAF dealer in northern France. I'll do a complete overhaul at the end of the year to make it a little talk and a lot of change but for now I leave it like that. Thank you for the advice I'll go take a look at his work to find new ideas. Quote

Just a little tip if I may give you one. You should turn it around, the wheel size is set, so you should scale the model of your DAF to those. It works best to start with measuring the size of the wheels and determine the scale and then start building...not the other way around... Really looking forward to the overhauled version...I really do! Quote
Dafgek81 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Really looking forward to the overhauled version...I really do! I second that Quote
GBryan22 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Really looking forward to the overhauled version...I really do! I also look forward to disassemble for one second version for improving the defects and make it more lege and stronger both Quote
