Mantarri Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Hi, this is my C Model for the 42043 - MB Arocs, It's an articulated tractor with a tipping trailer! Tech specs: 1x L Motor 3x Pneumatic cylinders, 2x 11x2 to lift & lower the trailer bed, and a 1x5 cylinder to open & close the trailer flap. 10x Wheels, 8 on the tractor in a dually configuration, & 4 on the trailer. Well, now on to pictures! All pictures & more are available at my BrickLink http://bricksafe.com/pages/XtremeBuilder/c-model-42043---mb-arocs---articulated-tractor--trailer Edited March 26, 2017 by XtremeBuilder L motor, not XL. :P Quote
BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Well done! Looks kinda bad but the functions seem mighty interesting! Have you checked out my latest 42043 c model? Hint: pic is in my signature :) Quote
Mantarri Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Hi, it looks better in real life, my picture shooting locations kinda suck. I have seen your driller, looks neat. Quote

I have seen your driller, looks neat. My tip for this truck is to make the cab more realistic. The functions seem to be in place and well-established, but the cab is inaccurate and half-baked. The cab is the part of the truck which gives the first impression. But overall, very well done Quote

But overall, very well done Good point, by the way, this is a tractor as in farm equipment, not truck, the cab should've looked more like this: So it could've been taller in hindsight But this cab is a big improvement for me actually, as I'm still working on certain parts of aesthetics as far as MOCs go, and while this tractor I made didn't turn out perfect, I have improved significantly since my last MOCs (take a look at my old one & cringe. :P).

Because Arocs has 12 wheels you've made good decision to make tractor with double wheels... Quote

Yeah, I've always liked these types of tractors, seemed it would work good, and the engine is a boxer, 3 cylinders on one side, 3 on the other. Not realistic, but still pretty cool.

I know, but because in-line 6 is narrow so this configuration enables smooth and narrow bonnet which is essential for good visibility from driver's cab Perhaps you could make some communal tractor (has street legal tires) for street cleaning or similar...

Hmm, I never knew that, neat tidbit. My next MOC with either be a cool off road machine c model, or a mindstorms robot. Quote
