[MOC] Transport Truck

[selfshot]

Hey everyone,

Here I, present you my transport truck moc before i take it apart :)

It is driven by an XL motor and steered by an M motor. Not really sure about it's piece count. I kinda wanted to put it on LDD to figure out it's piece count but instead i figured i suck at LDD :)

The idea in the beginning was to make a small -almost minifig scale- truck and a trailer. But i somehow couldn't keep the trailer, controlled? . I don't know much about technical details behind vehicle designs and functionalities, so i dumped that idea and instead moved on to build a regular truck. Then, due to missing color-matching panel-plate pieces to cover the box on the bed, i decided to cover it with linen, representing the canvas on some transport trucks.

You can find the detailed pictures on my flickr page. (no need for picture cluster)

And here's the short video to demonstrate how it runs on my dining table;

Due to it's small size on the back side of the chassis barely fitting the motor and the gears together i couldn't fix the "grinding" on the gears. It's not a continuous grinding, just does it every time you move it forward the first time.

And due to missing a 2x4 windscreen, it looks rather ugly with the windscreen built with 2x6 and 2x4 layout.

This MOC took about 3 weeks for me to finally finish with given 2-3 hours each week to work on (working man :( ). I loved the process and the result. I hope you liked it and somehow got inspired by it as well.

All the best!
