Alasdair Ryan Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I think the small panels on the bottom of the front are too short,it should stick out more. Could you try to make a four in one bucket? Quote

Blakbird Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 The brick built bucket looks incredible, but I have to imagine it is also quite heavy. Have you built a MOC that can lift it? Quote
efferman Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 My 8265 rc can lift it without a problem, only the mounting points are different at this time, so it cant replace the original bucket without modifications. Quote
efferman Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 i have changed the mounting positions and made a short vid Quote
unimog123 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 That looks pretty cool, but are you just taking a break from the new tow truck/wrecker with the new tires, or have you come across a major problem. Good Luck with both! Quote
efferman Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) there is indeed a major problem: to much ideas at the same time actually the 2014 flagship 42030 is buzzing in my head. so i have no chance to get out hopefully the big thing is getting out of my head soon to finish the K100 but in meanwhile, the rear axle (lxf file) for a big wheeled loader 100_0837 von efferman auf Flickr 100_0836 von efferman auf Flickr the tires will be Gmade MT 1901. i think they will lokk fine on a wheeled loader Edited January 15, 2014 by efferman Quote
efferman Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 iam curios which steering system lego will use at the 42030 and where they will place the motors. I place the motors in the back and use linear actuators for steering. In combination witha pendular rear axle the gearbox in the articulation area is pretty complex. 100_0845 von efferman auf Flickr Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Looking really good there, efferman! Quote
efferman Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) thank you very much some progress edit² and a third party bucket for better digging. please note that no lego part was damaged or modified. 100_0853 von efferman auf Flickr Edited January 17, 2014 by efferman Quote
efferman Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 sorry for doublepost, but i have driven a round hmmm, i think the steering could be a little bit faster Quote

How though, I don't know either.. Quote
unimog123 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 That is pretty cool, but personally I would stick to the lego bucket. I really think it looks good, is original, and functions well. Can't wait to see more! Quote
jorgeopesi Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 In my opinon with a narrower wheelbase, 2 or 3 studs, the front loader would be more realistic Efferman. As I always say this kind of machines are narrower than we think. Good work in the Lego parts . Quote
efferman Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 you are right with the width of wheeled loaders, but i have a solid model of a liebherr L574 in the same scale which iam build I have the bucket of this model on my loader and my loader has the same width of the bucket. so i think my loader is in scale. maybe it looks so wide, because there is actually no cab and engine bonnet on it. @ unimog123 i can use both buckets, this one for digging, the other with liftarms for display. the liftarm bucket has not really good capabilitys in picking up parts from the floor. And an RC loader which can not good digg is not funny to play. Quote
unimog123 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I agree completely. A bucket that can't dig isn't fun to use. I felt the same way with the 8043 Excavator, I took it outside and it could barely dig. Probably just the weak M motors. Can't wait to see more! Quote
efferman Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 indeed, the Ms on the 8043 are the reason for the bad digging performance. with Ls it work much better btt: the chassis has get its final chassis revision, so i can go to the optical things. 100_0855 von efferman auf Flickr Quote
unimog123 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 To bad I took mine apart already. This thing is coming along great, although I'm not so sure about a white cabin. Maybe it will look better when it's done. Quote
efferman Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 the plan was a liebherr L574 which has a white cab, but this looks a bit strange, so i will do something different. actual standing 100_0856 von efferman auf Flickr Quote
unimog123 Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Maybe I missed something, but where is the battery box? Quote
efferman Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 the battery box is actual not on board. i think it will be placed at the backside of the cab. Quote
