PistenBully 600

[dikkie klijn]

@ freakwave, the pneumatics are actually quite strait on. The switches are right behind the blade so nothing special going on there.

That design has been shown on this forum allready and i seem to remember that some poeple burned out there motor?

I have not seen this one before, I have only seen the direct version where the motor is connected to the lever to change the switch. So far I have not burned a motor out :)

Might try this one out. Good MOC!

The model has been taken apart so a "few" new pics of the chassis and its components.

dikkie klijn If you had any, extra pictures or 3d model of thefront blade that would be really great.

As a matter of fact I am going to try, to digitally reconstruct it in "SR 3D builder", mainly because I got, 4x4 XL motor tracked tank base lying around(around 60tread pr. track as far as I recall).

And after its utter failure, to handle 8110's snowblade, primarily to do a weaksuspension. It is going to get a full makeover during this winter.

Update.: I triedlast evening modeling the blade, and SR 3D, is a really hard to work with. Iguess it because my skill with the software (but I am used to handle, LDD,photoshop, Eclipse and various others).

Either way then I turned to LDD, only to discover it hadn’t any pneumatics elements in it! So Ithought to myself, I will just go ahead. And the import it to SR 3D later, and add the pneumatic cylinders. But a few quirks with the formats, several parts were lost.

dikkie klijn – It’s okay you don’t have more info, on your great moc. But I had already discovered your flickr account.

Thanks for the extra pictures! I'm guessing the differential and PF switches are part of the 3 stage lights? And the pneumatic cylinder and spring are a pressure regulator?

BTW, what video editing software do you use? The video is great!

[dikkie klijn]

@jacobkristensen No I don't have any other pictures than these and those on my flickraccount

@dhc6twinotter Your guesses are correct .

Thanks, I've used "adobe premiere elements 8.0"

The design looks nice! Although my first thoughts were; isn't this setup ruining your motor?!

[dikkie klijn]

It doesn't ruin your motors actually.

At least not if you take the power of after switching.

I am making a Pistenbully to and i have the auto-valves controlled in a similar way, and so far i have not burnt out any motors.

Just a little update folks, no pictures yet - they will hopefully get up bye crhistmas eve if we get some snow in Denmark. - But I dont have camera myselft, and my phone's very bad...

But currently the unimog snow plow(blade only), and the pistenBully pneumatic blade control system(the five cylinders). Have been build and connected into one nicely working piece, I had some small problemers about how to make the blade mount, onto the control system, stable but I managed to sort it out.

And if may remind you, that setup got three way of moving the blade(Up/down - left/right and tilt).

Currently I am in the process of intergrating it into the tank.

With regards to the 3d software, I ended up only doing a partiel ldd model of the pneumatic, but wiht out cylinders.

[jacobkristensen]

Got all the pieces build into the tank, last evening. And the weight balance is much better as hoped and expected

Only downside, is that currently the pneumatics, are not controlled via PF R/C primary because, I am lacking 2 x PF recivers and 1 x PF m motor.

And also the tanks inside looking like a big big mesh of tubes and wires... That is again because i don't have built the pneumatic R/C.

Sounds cool. Do you have any photos?

Unfortunately, I have no pictures and it also lacks a little styling(The room between the XL, witch are place side by side, is a complete mesh, it holds two rechargeable batteries and the three pneumatics valves - planes are to add, the unimog compressor and air tank, and if thats to slow a new small pump is properly only $10 on BL(Bricklink)). But if the weather is nice and I get it outside in the snow, and I can borrow my dad's Canon EOS 7D, then there will hopefully be some good pictures.

But I think I'll wait to, I have the last PF parts (I.E a M motor and two IR receivers).

And also the tracks are fitted with spikes (small black pins) for better grip. Actually during summer testing, sometimes the belts got stuck because the spikes picked up too much grass…

So I hope very much, that we get some snow, so it can be tested. That will properly also help me decided if, I am buying the extra PF elements. But I am considering the motorized excavator. But I am not sure if, my budget got room for it, because I gave myself an early Christmas present, the pneumatic 8455.

It looks beautiful. Is it for sale?

What you mean, is it for sale?.

The instructions or the model.

[dikkie klijn]

Neither the model nor instructions are for sale.

Impressive! The blade moves BEAUTIFULLY!
