TechnicMOCer Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Hello there, I looked at a lot sets like Mercedes Arocs (42043), timber truck (9397), MB Unimog U400 (8110), Mack Anthem truck (42078), crane truck (8258), Ford Raptor (42126), MB Zetros (42129), I choosed something that isn't truck. The first thing in my head was to use 30.4x14mm wheels (because I have 9-stud wide (with wheels) front axle with independent suspension), but it seemed to be too small for me. Then choosed 56x26 ones, but since I have only 2 of balloon ones, decided to match look at this point (because I don't wish to buy pull back set only for them) and used tractor ones. So far I managed to fit suspension (independent double wishbone on the front and live axle on the rear), HOG steering and fake full-sized V4 engine (as original set): Check out my Rebrickable and Instagram Edited July 2, 2023 by TechnicMOCer Quote
Thirdwigg Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Great start, and I like what you have so far. I have expressed my love for 8081 many times, so I'm excited that you are doing this set. I'll watch with interest. Quote
