Hi guys,

just finished my latest build after almost year long break from lego. It,s 8x4x4 truck inspired by Mercedes Actros. I know, another truck... But I ordered thouse weels and they seems to be great for trucks in medium scale.

Features:

4x2 Drive by L motor

4x2 Steering by servo motor with different angle (great turning radius)

Manual 2 speed gearbox

Openable doors

Liftable cabin

I would like to build more trucks in this scale! Any suggestions, what to build? I was thiking cherry picker or dumper for start? I will propably also create LDD model if anyone interested?

PS: Sorry for photo quality...

It looks georgeous and cute :laugh: Maybe start with making a trailer for this model, preferably an oversize load version and you could also build some escorting vehicles in same scale?

Nicely done compact design, especially how the front grill came out. Not sure if you really need 4 axles at this scale, though, the second steered axle seems redundant, but it is a cleaver use of both outputs of the servo motor.

Hi guys,

thanks for replyes!

Yeah, I was thinking about it but it would be huge brick consument, so I will propably create it only in LDD...

I used 4th axle because this: http://tomashubik.com/temp/lego/mercedes/volvo.jpg was my chasis inspiration and as you said, I wanted to use both servo outputs :)

Um, wouldn't this just be called a 4X8? What is the 2 about?

Looks really nice, though, and using both sides of the servo is brilliant.

I thoughs that the third x2 is for steering? But maybe I'm wrong?

I'll finish LDD file today and post it here later at night.

PS: Cherry picker is now in progress ;)

Probably the smallest scale possible to RC-ize

Everything to scale, perfect ;)

I really like the cab. And what I like the most is the grill and front section fluently continuing to the doors... Great MOC. :)

Great MOC! I also like the fluid flow. Looks great

Hi Guys!

Thanks for replyes. I really like these tires and already build 4x4 Cherry picker and 8x8 Dumper on same wheels, but have no time to make photos/videos and post it here.

Before those tires I worked with smaller one and created this: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=91180&hl=scania which is more compact.

I'm also currently (and extremly slowly thanks to lack of time) working on new page with building instructins for those trucks.
