Nice work! Unusual type of cab too

[jantjeuh]

Nice truck, only the cab seems a bit strangely elongated with the front wheels placed far back, is this on purpose?

[legosamigos]

Yes, it is :)

[TinkerBrick]

Nice work. Kind of an old style lifting mechanism. What is the purpose of the shocks/springs above the main frame? They don't seems being compressed when the container sits on the truck.

[jantjeuh]

Yes, it is :)

I see, I'm not familiar with this kind of cab. Do you perhaps have a picture of the truck you based this MOC off of?

I thought that the full container will be too heavy, so the shock absorbers have to help pick up the container with a cargo

This is not a cabin from a real truck, only my creation. In my previous MOC, a cabin was based on this

A great model. You got a new subscriber

How much can it lift?

[legosamigos]

Thank you Zblj :) The container with all pins weighs 516 grams, but I suppose is not max weight :)

Heh, that's exactly what the cab reminded me of, a firetruck! Anyway, nice MOC, keep up the good work.

Nicely done. The long cab looks good on that truck.

Looks very good so far and I like the unique cab style. You could probably build an american style fire truck with that.

Now you just need to make it fully remote controlled

I had already an american style fire truck ;)

I meant something like this:

The cabin would work perfectly there.

Some fire truck is in building process with similar cab but it will be full manually

[Paul B Technic]

This is very cool, an excellent level of detail in this :)

Full manual isn't a "problem".

[legosamigos]

PF will go to tow truck, so a fire truck will be in manual version :)
