Teo LEGO Technic Posted March 28, 2018 Author Posted March 28, 2018 I reallt like the body of this 6x6, without the parts at the rear and side hindering performance. It's a trial truck after all. I'm gonna make this cab, but in red cause that's what I got. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I always preffer to use 2 steered axles, it is something more uncomun like the tatra concept , I'm looking forward to see how your truck is going. Quote

MajklSpajkl Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 This looks super light, how much does it weigh? Should perform really good! The cab needs a bit of detailing but looks gfreat so far. Quote

And if you look closer your cab is almost the same height as the wheels, where on the video the cab is taller than the wheels. In the initial post of the topic are pictures of T815-7 cab (low cabin), which I pressume is the cab that @Teo LEGO Technic built, but maybe am I wrong. (815 from the video that is on the top of site 2 is high (civilian) (and older) version). So or so, one extra stud would make it - relative to axles travel - slightly better, even with the T-Force style cab, IMHO. T815-7: Quote

I intentionally avoided interior detailing to keep weight low. 1 hour ago, pagicence said: IMHO the cab should be just 1 stud taller in the lower section between the 3x5 panel and the long liftarm (just insert another one of that), compare to the video that you posted of 6x6 trail truck.

Or the mudguard a stud lower? Cause I can't move the mudguard any lower, it touches the wheel when it is fully pressed. 47 minutes ago, HorcikDesigns said: In the initial post of the topic are pictures of T815-7 cab (low cabin), which I pressume is the cab that @Teo LEGO Technic built, but maybe am I wrong.

I kind of combined the 6x6 T-815-7 with the truck trial from the video. Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I meant one stud higher in it's roof section, even for the Force version (not combined), if possible. ;) Quote

Teo LEGO Technic Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) DSC05687 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr I think you were right @HorcikDesigns. It looks better a stud taller. I also added some detailing on the front, keeping it super light it's as heavy as I want it to be. Good tip! I think it's all done! 1 hour ago, pagicence said: @Teo LEGO Technic Don't move the mudguards, just the upper half of the cab, like I said "between the 3x5 panel and the long liftarm" or on top of the long liftarm. Like this: What do you think about it now with the top a stud taller? Edited April 4, 2018 by Teo LEGO Technic Quote

Thanks guys! You're right it looks better this way. The performance is also amazing, I recharged the battery and this baby climbs until it falls backwards at around 60 degrees slope. My camera memory card isn't working so I have to get a new one before I shoot some video, and then I'll take it out for a spin. Quote
1gor Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I think cab is perfect now and at the same time smooth and simple. Great work Quote

Just some lights (not PF) - transclear something :-) And maybe some really small details like a bar here and there, or a chain hanging loose. Just something to make it less plain. Those pieces would only add some grams... Quote

I intentionally left out lights like the truck trial in the video, but bars and chains could work I'll try that out. Quote
Teo LEGO Technic Posted April 18, 2018 Author Posted April 18, 2018 There's a ton of snow out there, so video shooting has been postponed. Still gonna happen though! Quote

Teo LEGO Technic Posted June 11, 2018 Author Posted June 11, 2018 Here's the video guys, it took a while. Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Oh, it has no difficulties with the terrain! And it is so fast. Maybe the chassis is too high for a scale model, but it does not matter, when it rides so good. Good job! The front axle idea is just flawless, inspiring, and thank you for sharing it. (but the springs are too high too call it proper scale-model Tatra) Edited June 12, 2018 by HorcikDesigns Quote
