Auroralampinen Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Well now the 42203 launch is less than month away i decided to create topic wich is for the modifications and other improvement stuff for the 42203 since i have already created better version of the 42203 i will start with my better chassis design for the 42203 Well when i created better version of the 42203 i later on realised that i have created something really big and yes i was right this chassis is opportunities goldmine now i try to make something different with almost the same chassis:) And i will release instructions just for the cab and little bit for the middle section since this chassis is perfect for creating anything truck releated with the look of the 42203:) Quote
Auroralampinen Posted February 12 Author Posted February 12 Well now the cab 3d model is 90% done and i will make 2 instructions one for the cab and middle section and you can customize the rest of the truck for you own liking and truck needs and the second instructions are for the fully overhauled dump truck:) Quote
Auroralampinen Posted February 12 Author Posted February 12 (edited) Well now the cab and the middle section are completed now i have to make instructions for this and then for the fully overhauled dump truck and funnily enought my cab section alone uses all of the 42203 pieces:) And funnily enought when i created the overhauled version i didn't look the 42203 topic and yes my version has everything that the @anyUser sayed for improments the flat 4 engine those bigger tires and differential and this was a kind of cool accidentaly coincidence :) Edited February 12 by Auroralampinen Quote
Auroralampinen Posted February 12 Author Posted February 12 (edited) Well i was editing the old text and i press some button and now i created a quote how i will get this accidentaly quoted thing removed Edited February 13 by Milan Removed accidentally quoted section. Quote

Auroralampinen Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Well now the first instructions for the customizable model are done next i have to do for the fully overhauled dump truck version:) Quote
Auroralampinen Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Soon the second instructions are done and wow i didn't realised before how many mistakes my original video instructions had but now they have been fixed:) Quote
Auroralampinen Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Well now the 3d model is done and this completely overhauled version uses 609 more pieces than the original 42203:) Quote
Auroralampinen Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Well now both of the instruction booklets are done:) Quote
Milan Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Hello @Auroralampinen It's great to see your model progressing! Your dedication is impressive. However, posting updates too often might make it harder for people to follow along. A daily update or a summary of progress at the end of the day would be much better. Thanks, and have fun. Quote

Auroralampinen Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Update i often/sometimes forgot stuff completely and after 14 hours i waked up from sleep thinking something was wrong and i was right i forgot a step on digital instructions but since i uploaded the instructions to rebrickable and im waiting for approval i fixed that and put the step on model pictures and added the missing pieces and i will upload a 3d model of the complete version to here and that will have the missing pieces attached but atleast the 8043 mini instructions were perfect without any mistakes Quote

Thirdwigg Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Alright, @Auroralampinen can't be the only person to improve on 42203. Here is my version with an engine and a tipping cab. Instructions at Rebrickable.com. And it looks just like the set. Which to me, is not a bad thing at all. And a little video to show to functions. Quote
SNIPE Posted March 1 Posted March 1 I wonder if we move the actuator slightly if we can have another differential? Quote
Thirdwigg Posted March 2 Posted March 2 On 3/1/2025 at 10:26 PM, SNIPE said: I wonder if we move the actuator slightly if we can have another differential? Expand Possibly. The issue I run into was that limits the tilt of the bed. I’ll give it another try. On 3/1/2025 at 8:32 PM, mpj said: Very cool mod! I'm starting to like this little truck. Expand Thanks. Quote
Auroralampinen Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 Well after over 24 hours of hard work and engineering with a ton of headaches now the 42203 works like 8052 container truck:) Quote

Thirdwigg Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Alright, it's time for another update to 42203 with a little Garbage Truck version. As was pointed out by someone on Rebrickable, I may have moved passed this being a modification, and it's just a new MOC. But either way, the MOC is heavily influenced by 42203, so I'll let it slide. Instructions are available at Rebrickable.com. I started with the Upgraded Chassis (see above) for this MOC, and then added a Garbage Collection Box to the rear of the truck. As such, the truck features: Steering with HOG Opening doors Tipping cab I4 engine with RWD Tipping rear garbage box. Opening rear compactor Working rear compactor cycle Bin tipper/dumping And a little video to show the functions. Enjoy! Quote

I'm not as hard on 42203 as others, and yet, it needed some improvements. Also, I'm always looking for an excuse to make a Garbage Truck. Quote
SNIPE Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) RC mod: I would like to combine this mod with thirdwigg's mods , I have 2 of those micro motors already, one for cabin tilt, the other for the tipper, but i still want 2 differentials so ill need to repositon one of the micro motors. I will use a spike prime small angular motor for steering and maybe a control+ L motor for drive with a buwizz 3.0 Edited March 18 by SNIPE Quote
