Technic BOOM Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Power Function: 3x L motor 2x M motor Gear: 3,90 : 1 Tire: 62.4 x 20s Chassis is full suspensions 4 RC functions Quote
1gor Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 It looks like someone has fun in snow. Mack classic truck shape is represented very good and it looks like it performs very well. What kind of suspension do you use? Can we see more images? Quote
M_longer Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Sand spreader doesn't move? It looks like the whole truck should be a little wider, by 2-3 studs? There's definitelly something wrong with the proportions of front, including front lights, hood and cab. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 M_longer is right again but it is still being a great truck and I preffer to see narrower MOCs because they are easier to fix than the wide ones. Quote

1gor Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Question was dealing with suspension; did you use suspension like set 42043 (Arocs) or something else? Quote

Well, it does not look good now either, most of the trucks that are using 62.4 wheels are 18-20 studs wide. I have just finshed a Granite that is 15s wide, and it's using much smaller wheels. 35 minutes ago, Technic BOOM said: Sand spreader don´t move. You could make it work, it would make the model even more playable :) Quote

I have just finshed a Granite that is 15s wide, and it's using much smaller wheels. With 62.4 tires and range from 18-20 studs you can cover scales from 1:16 (approximately) for 20 studs wide chassis to 1:18 scale for 18 studs wide chassis; real truck has usually 2500mm wide chassis. So I think that @Technic BOOM should follow your advice and "improve" a bit his moc, but other things are good (not perfect but good) Quote

1gor Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Why didn't you use linear actuator for rising / lowering the snow plow? (With rope is a bit to unrealistic, and chassis is really to narrow for this tires and it is bending a lot ...) Quote
Technic BOOM Posted February 5, 2019 Author Posted February 5, 2019 Real truck didn´t use rope but chain. I use rope because I haven´t more space in cabine for winch. I didn´t like look of the wider chassis. Quote

Oh, I'm still waiting to see you do any better than the users you're constantly criticising. @Technic BOOM Great build there, mate. Not sure how it compares to the original nor do I care - it looks good and works well. Quote
1gor Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 For me chassis looks a bit to narrow; granite is 2500mm wide and biggest tires are 11R24.5 - about 1100mm in diameter, so if you use scale based on this biggest tires you get 1:17.5 and 2500 / 17.5 is approximately 18 studs. Cab shaping is not bad and suspension is OK Quote
Technic BOOM Posted February 5, 2019 Author Posted February 5, 2019 Thank suffocation Quote For me chassis looks a bit to narrow; granite is 2500mm wide and biggest tires are 11R24.5 - about 1100mm in diameter, so if you use scale based on this biggest tires you get 1:17.5 and 2500 / 17.5 is approximately 18 studs.

Perhaps I was miscalculated when I saw beam 11 at front axle + offset + tire width - it could be 17, so I agree it is very close despite my calculations ( 16 studs was result of my calculations when I saw chassis)... maybe the reason that other mocers make 19 studs wide chassis influented my opinion, but it is another story Seeing so many motor I just hope that Fastrac survived.

Mechbuilds Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 What is the secret of cramming so many motors in yet so compact design? Do you first make the functions in LDD and build the chassis around them? Quote
Technic BOOM Posted February 6, 2019 Author Posted February 6, 2019 It needs to be rebuilt until it's gone. Quote
