MOD - Set 8110 Unimog U400 with PF driving and steering

[Paul B Technic]

Recently I decided to try adding PF driving and steering to set 8110 Unimog U400. Below are some photos and a video of the end result.

Parts used are:

1 x PF L motor

1 x PF servo motor

1 x PF IR receiver V2

1 x 8-tooth gear (Used in drive line for L motor to gear down)

1 x 24-tooth gear (Used in drive line for L motor to gear down)

1 x 7L beam

A small number of other pieces such as pins, axle pins and some small 3L and 5L beams to mount the engines.

The L motor for driving has been mounted in place of the fake 4 cylinder engine, the servo motor for steering has been mounted at the rear of the centre control area, just in front of the rear diff.

When adding the PF system I wanted to keep the original look of the set as much as possible, except for the PF IR receiver on back of the cabin it looks "stock".

Photos and a video are on my blog:

Nice, it looks amazingly like the normal set! How about other locations for the IR receiver, maybe the cabin?

Very well done!

Thanks for the feedback. I did try the IR receiver in the cabin but it would not fit very well.

Great job! I was searching for the IR, and couldn't find it! when I spotted it I realized that was a good spot for it. haha

Very nice speed and steering, especially on carpet.
