Kenworth K100 Crane Truck

[Kiwi_Builder]

Looks good, I think that removing the Aerodyne section on the top of the cab would be best because as everyone says, it's too high and you wouldn't have an aerodyne cab wuth a crane because it sticks up to where the boom should be resting.

Nicee Effe... Do you want to use 2 servos?

Max...

Not sure, the second servo is actually a shortcut to test the turning circle. And a driving test some minutes ago shows that this was a good idea. The turning circle is good, but the traction isreally bad, so i need suspension to hold all driven tires on ground

done

Great and compact concept and yet so effective!!!

[Bricksonwheels]

Going strong. The flatroof is indeed better. Will follow this.

[TheNextLegoDesinger]

you're doing great i really like it

keep on going, you'll probrally get my vote

[efferman]

first a picture

and a working test

[Twelvebears]

Loving the outrigger design, looks really robust and actually capable of giving real stability.

I could see the same approach scaling up to a larger model very nicely.

[Milan]

Very nicely finished. Looking forward to see it with cab.

[TheItalianBrick]

Milan as you can see small mocs are nicer than huge ones :laugh:

Effe go on! You get my 10 points this time!!!!

[agrof]

Nice compact outrigger + suspension solution, for me looks like essence of Technic. Love it!

[Kiwi_Builder]

Is that rear axle liftable as well or is it just off the ground for some unexplained reason?

[efferman]

Thanks guys

Kiwi, it is simply off the ground because to less weight on the chassis, with the crane on the back it should have a good ground contact.

Drivetrain and gearreduction for the rearaxle steering

Gearbox for stabilizers

Hmm the truck looks really good but is the Kenworth with X-outridgers based on real mobile crane? I would mount this X-outridgers on multiaxle mobile vehicle... 6-8 axles...

X outriggers are more common on trucks that on mobile cranes to be fair!

[Milan]

Looks beautiful. Waiting for a superstructure!

[Zerobricks]

This is getting really awesome! The color combination is nice, with the white lines and its nice to see a smaller, yet fully functional model.

[efferman]

thanks guys!

The first version of the back is done

[Rockbrick]

[JJ2]

Looking good!

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

Very well done so far. You manage to squeeze it all in... :-)

[muffinbrick]

This one is one of the favourites, for sure. I cant wait for superstructure!

[kisper]

Can't wait to see the final product :)

[Erik Leppen]

Not sure about the studded rear end.

For the rest, it looks very nice. I like how it's not overly big. Curious to what you will to with the boom and superstructure.

[efferman]

well, something unusual with the new outrigger parts and a winch to lift the boom

p.s. this is only a test to search for the mounting points
