Bricktrain Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 When I have finished the first version I will probably take it apart for building the new version. I like the orange but white also looks good, be interesting to see if it looks as good in white when built, I dont have many white panels so will stick to the orange. I still think the steering will be hard and may do some experimenting to get a better kingpin angle to reduce the scrub radius. That is the reason I didnt use the portal hubs in the ATcrane I am building. Another mod I would like would be two steering motors with their own remote channels so you can steer the front and rear seperately, then you could crab steer also. Quote
MarkusOSX Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 Ok, little change.... The Truck needs two IR-Receivers, cause it needs two different motor directions. Quote
DLuders Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Does anyone know a good and free file sharer for the LDD file ? I would like to share it to everyone. Would be nice to see in RL. Greetz Markus Looks great! You could use some of your 150-kB allotment by ATTACHING your Lego Digital Designer (LDD) .lxf file here, on your Eurobricks Reply. Or, you can use Microsoft SkyDrive (like I do) for larger files (like PDF Building Instructions). Quote
skylinedan Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I just got my 9398 today so i,ll have a better time building the remote for this, but first I have to build the 9398, LOL. Kinda stoaked, have some ideas on mods for it. By then you should have the instructions for this one figured out and up. Dan Quote
MarkusOSX Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 Some more changings.... New position for the receivers and a cage for them. Also i´ve changed something at the steering part, to get different steering angle between the wheels on the front and same to the wheels on the back. I think i´ll try to build it in blue.

Pat-Ard Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Hi, very nice MOC... But it'll be hard to get the panels in blue... Some of them aren't aviable in blue... Pat Quote
MarkusOSX Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Damn, what's about white ? The LDD-File is to big to attach here (181kb) Edited September 27, 2012 by MarkusOSX Quote
matias bendtsen Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 nice truck white is possible, but expensive. purple is impossible, and i am not sure about grey, but the rest is easy Quote
MarkusOSX Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Ok, you should be able to download the LDD-File for this truck here: 8x8 Truck v10 You´ll see that if you build the instruction in LDD; this is a very confusing step by step building..... LDD is not good for building instructions.... Edited September 27, 2012 by MarkusOSX Quote
Pat-Ard Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Hi Markus, what about a Dropbox-Account? You can deeplink the LDD. Thanks for the LDD!!! And for the color - just check what it's aviable at Bricklink Pat Edited September 27, 2012 by Pat-Ard Quote
MarkusOSX Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Ok, here´s a link to the online instruction manual. There you will also find the partlist at the end and a printable Version. I´m not very satisfied with the manual that LDD creates, but you will see what i mean. Online building manual for 8x8 TrailTruck I´ve ordered the first parts from brick link a few ago. I will build it in white. Have fun Markus Edited September 27, 2012 by MarkusOSX Quote
Lost_In_Noise Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) I'm very excited by your set (don't get me wrong ). Will you post pictures of the building process, or a working video? I suppose the springs will get flatter due to the weight of the truck, AFAIK LDD has no way to demonstrate this. Edited September 28, 2012 by Lost_In_Noise Quote

I´m excited too , but this will be my xmas present, so it will take a while to finish... Yes, i ´ll make pics and maybe a video. I suppose the springs will get flatter due to the weight of the truck, AFAIK LDD has no way to demonstrate this. I will use the hard springs, but i also think that they will get flatter. If that happens i will maybe use another connectionpoint or other springs. When I have finished the first version I will probably take it apart for building the new version. @Bricktrain I´ve found a little mistake in the first version. You need to change something at the steering axle for the rear wheels. I´ll correct this this weekend and send you the new file then. Got a little question to you. This pic show´s how i want to build the truck. What do you think ? Black rims or grey rims ? Greetz Markus Edited September 28, 2012 by MarkusOSX Quote
