Dave21 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Hi everybody, I want to present you my planned TC6 Entry: A remote controlled Dumptruck with 4 axles. The functions are: - Driving the rear wheels with a XL-Motor - Steering the two front wheels with a Servo-Motor - Cabin tilt with a M-Motor - Tilting dump bed with 2 LAs over a L-Motor (or maybe XL-Motor) - Open the doors (manual) All motorized functions are controlled by 2 IR-Receiver and 2 Remotes. This model isnĀ“t based on an real model, it should represent a standard European dumptruck. My design of the cabin is inspired by 8258, but I choose a different color scheme. Here are a few screenshot of my current project in LDD: ---UPDATE--- The first WIP pictures: The next WIP pictures: The finished model: Comments, critic and suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for reading Dave Edited February 11, 2015 by Dave21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave21 Posted February 4, 2015 This is looks abslutely awesome! Could you tell me how many flat yellow panels you used for the dump bed? Thanks OG_technic. I planned to use 6 flat yellow panels for the dump bed. In the body there are 4 other flat yellow panels. So I need 10 panels in total. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coola1 Posted February 8, 2015 It's looking pretty good! Does it have suspension? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave21 Posted February 8, 2015 It's looking pretty good! Does it have suspension? Thanks Coola1. Unfortunaly I don't have the needed parts for supspension, so I never planned to use suspension. But I think it must be possible to fit suspension into this model. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
