Aleh Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Hello Dear Eurobrickers! Let me introduce my latest MOC Casagrande C400XP2 (yeap, like that world famous drummer Eloy!) This is Italian hydraulic crawler machine. On summer I saw the real machine 10 mins from my home, so simply this inspired me to build it out of Lego! The model is RC, has 9 motors, 3500 parts and weights approx 3,8 Kg Chassis has no motors inside, subtractor both motors are located in the superstructure. All in all there are 7 motors in the superstructure and 2 more are on the boom. All photos & brenders: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Aleh/casagrandec400xp2 Building instructions are already awailable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-237607/OleJka/casagrande-c400xp2/#details Thank you for watching!

2GodBDGlory Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Impressive work! I'm not sure I've ever seen a 36:60 gearing at the turntable like that, so that's fun to see, and that's also probably the longest stackup of transmission driving ring extenders I've ever seen in a model! Fun to see unusual techniques like that Quote

Fun to see unusual techniques like that I'm experimenting and trying somethimg new :) My favourite feature here is that the boom extension winch motor is synchronized with another motor which rotates motorcycle wheels with hoses on it But I'm not sure I've properly dscribed this in video or renders - my bad Quote

jorgeopesi Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I do not know too much about this machine but I do recognize the effort and knowledge that went into making it. Congratulations. Quote
Jundis Posted October 10 Posted October 10 What an interesting machine and beautifully detailed, great work, mate! The gear setup is maniac :D Just out of curiosity: Why did you split the drive train and not use single motors for left+right track? Quote

Independent endless slewing, no wires twisting, no additional battery box on chassis. 2. Experimenting and learning something new. Despite the fact that I know that real heavy machinery use one hydro motor per track and subtractor technology is obsolete. Appreciate questions, thank you guys! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Huge and amazing model! I didn't know this feature existed (I mean the hydraulic drum) ... great video and nice comparison with the real model! Quote
