Leonard Goldstein Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Hi everybody, many post in the [TC12] information topic during the last few hours - @Milan had to move them to the pub It seems like some guys are really anxious for the results ... To make waiting easier have a look at this funny little thing: Regards Leonard Goldstein Quote

agrof Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Ingenious solutions, and very well packed ones! Love it. Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Awesome little truck! Great solutions for making it all work. Slow-mo: Quote
1gor Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) It looks like you are in love with it (like in one song - crazy little thing called love) since you put so much effort in this development. Really nice small plsaable package, I really like it Edited November 4, 2017 by I_Igor Quote
Leonard Goldstein Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 Many thanks for all these nice postings! And many thanks to @Oliver 79! Your yellow truck was an inspiration: There will be some pics and an LDD-File - but this will happen next week. Some other hobbies require my attention during the weekend Regards Leonard Goldstein Quote
TechnicSummse Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 @Leonard Goldstein Verry nice little car :) Were there no problems at all with the chain links? I am pretty surprised you can power them with a L-motor without problems of falling apart. Also no problems in the rough terrain ... they did not shake off? And again i am suprised, you did not support the 16t gear on the sides... on the front and rear axle ? The only supports for the rear and front axle are the wheel-hubs? Quote

Hi @TechnicSummse, many thanks for your posting - you have a good eye for the details In fact the chains were a little problem. On the first try I lost the chain even at an indoor test. The trick is to keep the chain tensioned. Therefore I used pulleys - you can see them in the video at 00:15. A rubber band pushes the pulleys to the chain. The 16t gears indeed work well without support. A 4L axle is sticked into the cardan balls with 1,5 studs on each side. This is enough to prevent local bending. I am currently away from my Lego. Some pics will follow next week Regards Leonard Goldstein Quote
Lakop Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I'm surprised how fast it goes. A great little truck. H Quote
Leonard Goldstein Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 Hi @Horace T, thanks - that is the advantage of this small scale: it looks so fast I hear a strange little voice every time I build with Lego: "Make it smaller, make it smaller". I think I suffer from Shrink-O-Mania ... Regards Leonard Goldstein Quote
mocbuild101 Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Very nice, and very cute! - I think that's a perfect combination! 9 hours ago, Leonard Goldstein said: I hear a strange little voice every time I build with Lego: "Make it smaller, make it smaller". I think I suffer from Shrink-O-Mania ... I think I might suffer from it too, as I'm always trying to make the smallest, most compact MOCs I can... But personally I think that's a good thing to do, as it pushes your creative parts usage. Although of course, you will eventually end up with some ridiculously small MOCs - I have still got the smallest working safe I ever made, but at only 4x6 studs, I think it might be a bit too small...

And please let me know when you're done I saw a video on youtube to this subject which really fascinated me: Quote
Oliver 79 Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Nice little truck you made there! I'm honored that my yellow truck could give you inspiration. Quote

Hi @Oliver 79, your suspension system made it possible to have 2 studs of travel at this scale As I promised here some fotos (I added some mirrors as you can see) ... ... Cockpit and openable doors ... ... 4W-steering in action ... ... and the link to the LDD-File: https://bricksafe.com/files/Leonard_Goldstein/mini-truck/Mini-Truck_07.lxf Well, that's it. The next Mini-MOC is in the pipeline Regards Leonard Goldstein Quote
Technonsense Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 What a great little truck! I like the way how you managed to get it so narrow. Looking forward to your next mini! Quote
