Dzmitry Posted February 11 Posted February 11 (edited) Hello everyone, it's my first day on this wonderful forum, and I decided to share my LEGO Technic MOC, which I spent a long time building but eventually abandoned. I want to share some photos with you and take it apart for new ideas. I've had the 42078-1 Mack Anthem set for a long time, but its wheels always seemed too small to me. So, I decided to scale up the truck to fit 62.4 x 20 wheels. The new width is 18 studs at the front and 19 studs at the rear, and the length is approximately 52 studs. I tried to maintain the proportions of the original model, including the cabin interior and the driver's sleeping area. Then I got carried away with redesigning the model, adding suspension to the rear axles and dual wheels. I had to work hard to maintain the longitudinal rigidity of the main frame, especially at the connection point between the cabin and the rear axles. The presence of a floating suspension significantly reduced the possible reinforcement points in the structure. However, in the end, I was quite satisfied with the suspension. I also installed remote control using two L-motors and a servo motor. I placed the battery pack and radio transmitter behind the sleeping area and under the truck's roof. I kept the inline six-cylinder engine under the hood. The trailer turned into a real road train, consisting of two trailers for a single container and one trailer for two containers. I then built two containers from the original set: one shortened version and a special container for transporting gas. I would be very happy to read your feedback, recommendations, and advice!

2GodBDGlory Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Nice work! As far as images go, we have to upload our images to an external file-sharing website, and then copy the link from there to embed it here. Bricksafe is the most commonly used website for hosting Lego pictures on here Quote

2GodBDGlory Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Oh right, I remember hearing about that. Yeah, other sites (Flickr, etc.) should work fine! Quote

SNIPE Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) Solid work. I think the bigger wheels work better. Edited February 12 by SNIPE Quote
