Gabor Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone! This is my newest lego creation, the tow truck from Johnny English. The truck is completely remote controlled. It has six functions, but only four motors. Two L motors and one M motor drive the functions, and one M motor drives the gearbox. At first you can control the steering, the driving and the outriggers, after using the gearbox the crane’s rotation, the height and the length. The truck is 47 cm long and 15 cm wide and very heavy and crammed with gears, motors, gears, axles, beams and gears... I made a funny video, which shows how the truck works (with real speed), but has a story, too! :D You can find more pictures and a description about the crane on my mocpage: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/365406 Thanks for watching!

legomuppet9 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Nice MOC, I like how many functions are crammed into a model of this size Quote
Leewan Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Awesome vid ! Your presentation is very original, that's great ! The MOC is nice, I like the cab, but the wheels seem inappropriate (maybe try 8258 wheels ?), and the crane rotation looks jerky. :/ And that's too bad you haven't included the Aston Martin. Quote
kieran Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I say nice job, on the MOC and the video, what drives the rotation an XL or an M Quote
Doc_Brown Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 :D WOW this is just too good! Great model, and fantastic video! Very funny and clever. :thumbup: Quote
Sebeus I Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 This is very nice, I loved the video, funny story indeed . Quote
Gabor Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Thanks everyone! @Leewan: I think the wheels are ok. You are right, the rotation is jerky, behind the link you can find the reasons: http://www.flickr.co...ath/9343538632/, and the Aston Martin would be heavy for the crane, and expensive for me! @kieran: Sorry, no XL, L drives it. M drives only the steering and long-short mechanism. Edited July 23, 2013 by Gabor Quote
piterx Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 ahah nice video man!! i really enjoyed it! the model seems cool too :) Quote
The Ghost Racer Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Good work. I very like the cab because it seems realistic, I also like power functions that aren't exposed. Quote
timslegos Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 That is a really clever video, nice job. The truck works great too. tim Quote
jono rocky Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Love the video, lol. Great moc, well done. Quote
Lost_In_Noise Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Great video, and an excellent looking model! Thanks for sharing. Quote
Numbeel Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 the coolest power functioned set i've ever seen !! how much did it take to design ? Quote
Gabor Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Thank you very much! @Numbeel: It took one month (near school). I had the power functions from earlier sets, except the actuator. Quote
