rumpletump Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Here is my latest (my 5th ever) MOC it is a tracked dump truck. It can be made with parts from set 8043 & set 8265 only. The track layout is much the same as the 8043 but with some mods. The track assembly now houses 2 of the motors and the battery box. It is fully RC controlled and has full track function like the 8043 does. It also has turning function on turntable and lifting function for dump tray. The lifting is done by one LA. The RC receiver and 2 more motors are hidden inside the engine compartment. It can turn a full 360 degrees with no problems however I normally only use it up to 180 degrees in either direction as some power cord runs up through the turntable there is a risk of twisting the cords too much if not used carefully. I Hope you guys like it. Feedback is most welcome :) Edited February 21, 2012 by rumpletump Quote

Alasdair Ryan Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I like your mod for both the 8043 excavator and the 8265 loading shovel. Quote
DLuders Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 @ rumpletump: Nice BIG Technic model! Were you inspired by Richard Hubley's Tracked Dump Truck (pictured below)? Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 What kind off inspiration is that David. Quote
Tomik Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nice model. It remembers me alternative model of set 8294. Did you get inspiration there? Quote
Zerobricks Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nicely done, a great hybrid! Got any vids of it? Quote
timslegos Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nice! it looks really good for only using 2 sets! tim Quote
rumpletump Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 @ rumpletump: Nice BIG Technic model! Were you inspired by Richard Hubley's Tracked Dump Truck (pictured below)? To be honest I had never seen his design.. I was searching google images for mining equipment, just looking for some lego inspiration and I came across the Komatsu Tracked Dumper so I used this as a starting point :) Nicely done, a great hybrid! Got any vids of it? Not yet.. I will make one when I have some time Quote
dr_spock Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nicely done. That's a lot of yellow. Quote
