Lucio Switch Posted September 10 Posted September 10 (edited) Hi to everybody! Yes I know, it's been a while since the last time. Many things changed in my life in the last years, and between family, work, and maybe the lawsuit against Mould King, I lost a bit the passion and time for build new MOC. But I'm still here, alive, and I wasn't exactly still. So here my last creation, an Heavy Duty Tractor Truck. I started building this truck about 2 year ago and it was finished around February, just in time to show it at MEI 2024. The truck has 4x8 drive with a virtual differential, since it uses 4XL PF motors connected to a single wheel each (3rd and 4th axle) and they are not interconnected. one of them also control a fake V8 engine. The suspensions are independent for the 1st and 2nd axle, and the 2nd can be rised or lowered whit a pneumatic system. The 3rd and 4th axles have pendular axles. 3 PF Servo motors control the steering, which have different turning radius between the axles and it have a working steering wheel. There are 4 remote controlled functions (other than drive and steering). 3 of them are electro-pneumatic: - Activate or deactivate the pneumatic compressor. - Rising or lowering the second axle. - Locking or unlocking the fifth wheel. The 4th is only electrical, via a PF M Motor is possible to activate the windshield whipers. The pneumatic sistem feeds even the tilting cab system, which can be activated manually, the suspended seats and the outlet to an hypotetical trailer (even this manually operated). The cab is suspended and it has openable doors and them have handels and locking system. As well, the front grid is openable. This give the access to the radiator and the refrigerant and whipers fluid tanks. I used 2 BuWizz to give some juice to the truck. I hope you enjoy it! For the Administrators: Sorry If I broke some rules, I'm starting to get old! Flickr Album Edited September 10 by Milan Rearranged visuals to be able to frontpage. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted September 10 Posted September 10 (edited) It would take me two lifetimes to do something with half the parts, great job. I guess all the new frames will have been useful for your kind of MOCs. Edited September 10 by jorgeopesi Quote
grum64 Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Another stunning creation and a reminder that there really are superior beings amongst us. Quote
Johnny1360 Posted September 12 Posted September 12 What a beast, very well done, a real inspiration for me, really impressed with the technical aspects. Quote
arieben Posted September 13 Posted September 13 simply incredible. even at that size, i'm impressed by how densely packed it is with functions. bravo! Quote
Aleh Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Was expecting this because the truck was mentioned in some exhibitions several years ago! Glad it was published at last! As usual very accurate model! Quote
MSc Shobaki Posted September 15 Posted September 15 Hey Ivan! I think you forgot the most requested photo, the belly shot! Oh and btw, could you please elaborate on how you solved the suspension idea on the 2nd axle? Did you only use small pneumatic cylinders? Quote

In the summer, MK stopped showing instructions in its application - I hope this is not the result of your lawsuit? This year, CADA also reduced the number of available instructions. IMHO, such models are a potential "king of the mountain" of personal collections of Lego Technic models. On my "mountain" are your 2014 tractor (according to the MK 19005 instruction, sorry) and Lonestar. Both are assembled without pneumatics and electrics. I do not suffer from hanging LED garlands. Therefore, the appearance is the main factor in the popularity of such models. Well, and also a lot of opening doors, hatches and boxes for storing stashes. Quote

I guess all the new frames will have been useful for your kind of MOCs. Yes, they help for sure, but if I remember well, I used just a couple of them.

Personally, even you reminds me to never give up and be positive, things that are much more valuable than a lego truck.

It's still on going, so I can't say anything. Once it's ended, I'm pretty sure that I'll communicate it. In my opinion, my MOCs works, but they are better on a shelf. If you wanna have fun, it's better a smaller scale, the playability improves a lot. ....and thanks to all the other kind comments. Quote
