[MOC] MAN TGS 8x8

[ArsMan064]

Hello!
I built this model for Rig&Roll competition 26 august. 5 month passed, I am really sad that only now I can share this model to you.

Lets take a look to the model!

Real prototype:

 

 

It has semitrailer

Of course, driver can hitch and detach semitrailer using smartphone and lego remote

Truck:

• 2 m motors for drive
• 1 servo motor for steering (and steering wheel)
• 1 m motor for fifth-wheel coupling
• 1 Extension wire
• 1 polarity switch as extension wire
• Lipo
• Sbrick

Semitrailer:

• 1 m motor for landing legs
• IR receiver
• Battery box

 

On the competitions truck was the slowest It was my building error.

Truck has 8x8 drive and 2 steering axles. First and second axles turn for different angles.

(I lost red 90 degree beam on photo)

 

Truck has some features.

It has front lights, openable doors, interior with working steering wheel (servo) and working glove box :)

 

 

Here is place for spare tire and manual crane behind the cabin

 

For me, design of cabin is pretty good

 

Semitrailer has simple suspension

Rams are easy in using

Landing legs

 

Manual winch with lock

Honestly, it is small size moc, something like Anthem (scale 1:20) on which I'm no expert if how good you can replicate real thing but Cab looks well proportioned; at least you have no problem with steering wheel size. I see that you have the same issue as me - where to put battery box in moc and not in trailer 

All in all I think it is a good effort and personally I don't think that i could make it better

Very well done. The cabin looks very good. I like the fifth wheel lock a lot. Very well done! How did you do on the contest?

Good details and functionality for scale (in fact, at first sight I thought that it is made on unimog wheels).

Thank you very much! I put lipo in cabin, and sbrick under lipo. Pretty compact, I think. Battery box im semitrailer is only for landing legs :)
