42054 C model- Articulated Hauler

[Aventador2004]

hi everyone, as i start work on my TC12 entry, i made this from about 1000 parts of the CLAAS. it only tilts the bed with PF, and lots of power due to no gearbox. the steering has a knob on top of cab, near battery. it doesn't have super close relation to a hauler these days, but it looks fine to me. 

• Hog
• Motorized dump
• Cabin
• Rolling wheels
• Lights

Some pictures: with white background instead.

dumper goes back, unlocks, and dumps (more in a video)

enjoy, comment, and thanks for looking!

That's some very specific offroad hauler.

Why nor red rims?!

Thanks though!

I know you like feedback, so here's mine...

Things I like:

• Looks great, lots of functions.
• The big tires make it look like a monster dump-truck!

Things that you should change:

• Doesn't look anything like a Volvo A25f - so you should remove the association with it.
• Bed of dumper needs more structure - the sides need more height.
• Photos are a bit grainy - this is caused by a high ISO and low lighting - more light would help.

It looks like some truck for conquerring other planets and / or part of mining & reseaech equipment. Because it is C model, color choice is very good

Thanks, that first made me laugh! The colors were bad on first version, and it is way better than having red, white, and gray front.

Yes, previus tires had symetrical tread pattern so people forgot that they are dealing with new tires

I second this! I love free style biilds and this one realy has 'presence'. I agree with @mocbuild101 that the bed if the dumper needs more structure. Something with bent liftarms instead of connectors would be better.

Thanks, working on it, but it will not go taller, so i can load with the 8069.

I like it a lot - it's got a nice aggressive look. A real-life version of something like this would look terrific in a post-apocalyptic film.

You're improving in leaps and bounds!

Very nicely done. I can see much improvement between this and your previous MOCs.

Thanks! I will make a rough sketch if you are interested.
