[MOC] KrAZ-255 (free building instructions added)

[keymaker]

Hi,

I would like to present you my last creation - ukrainian truck KrAZ-255. I was inspired by the model which is available in PC game: Spintires. The truck is built in scale 1:23. I tried to implement some key features of real truck, like suspension, drive train, details like engine and easy aplicable additions, which are present in the game. Enjoy :)

Some details:

- weight: 995g
- dimensions LxWxH: 49x15x18 studs (without mirrors and additions)
- live axle suspension
- separate drive shaft for each axle
- 6x6 drive, no diffs (L motor)
- steering (M motor)
- front and rear lights
- working fake V8 engine
- openable hood and doors
- additions!

Instructions:  https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-55793/keymaker/kraz-255/#details

 

There are some additions too! All of them are easy to connect or disconnect to swap to another. The first is simple crate:

The second addition is prepared to wood transportation:

The last one is the most advanced one - the crane. It is also partially remotely controlled. Functions:

- rising/lowering two sections of the arm

- crane rotation

- gripper rotation

- gripper closing/opening

- extendable and lockable outriggers

- openable maintenance section

I hope you like it :)

I like all I see but too much video for me, amazing functions for this scale.

Thank you. It is my first video, a bit long I know. I added time stamps to video description :)

Very nice truck and I didn’t realise how small it was until you put the large tyres in the cargo hold! 

Like all the drive shafts, good thinking.

With the steering (I’m trying to build something with m motor also) does it stop turning and stall the motor at maximum angle? 

[keymaker]

Many thanks! I added white clutch gear to prevent M motor from stalling when reaching maximum angle.

Amazing functionality for the scale.

I really like the way you use the chain links in the crane (It's the first time I see someone using the external part of the chain link.)

And as it's already been said, the functions are amazing for that scale.

Thanks to all your comments now I understand better why perspective is so important and why @Sariel so often put banana or some popular canned drink next to his mocs :)

Hey, awesome moc I love it. Do you have instructions by any chance? Love to build it.

[keymaker]

Thank you! Unfortunatelly I do not have instructions, but apart from the crane the truck is still on my shelf, so maybe I can provide more photos if you need :) I fight with myself to not to disasemble it as it is my first "serious" MOC.

I am back to this project. As this is my favorite one so far and as this truck (among my other MOCs) received the warmest opinions from this rather demanding eurobricks society I decided to prepare instructions for this model:) This is my first MOC available on rebrickable.com, and my first, proper instruction. It is free for all who are willing to build it and have proper parts. I hope you enjoy the building process and final results and you share your opinions about it.

Because of the year of production, I would say a soviet truck, but I definitely will not advertise this system. Ukrainian origin is far proper one. Thank you for pointing this out, I edited the first post.
