[MOC] Mercedes-mini with trailer

[super-jaschka]

Hi there,
after assembly 42043, I wanted to make a little copy. It turned out for me or not, it's up to you.

Motorized functions.
- Steering (Servo motor)
- Driving and tilting of cargo bay (L motor)

Manual switching functions "driving - tilting of cargo bay". When cargo bay is lifted, the side automatically opens. 
The cargo bay is mounted on a separate frame and fixed to six connectors to the truck chassis. So you can easily replace it with another element.
The trailer is made similar to a truck.

That's a very cool little Mercedes. Great work putting all those PF parts in there and still looking great. Love the functions and the trailer  

[Jurss]

Really nice creation. 

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

Awesome job making everything so compact, and the front grille is stellar! Thumbs up!

Very cool little MOC, could be official LEGO set 

[nerdsforprez]

Compact, function and good looking.  The holy trinity of technic building    Great  submission. 

[Lasse D]

It's not just compact. That front is extremely advanced with all those odd angles. That is quite well done, and the PF elements are tucked away nicely. Beautiful.

Nice build, really clever how the gears of the cargo bay connects to the gears on the truck once it is mounted. 

[Kmuffin]

That's a clever build. A great looking compact body fitted with some greater functions.

[Thirdwigg]

This is excellent. Well done on all the complicated functions, and the complexity of the cab with all the various styling elements is very sharp. 

[ColletArrow]

I love this model. It's neat and clean, and yet contains all the PF and functions needed for playing well. Well done.

Guys, thank you all for the feedback. I am glad that you enjoyed this little truck.
I forgot to say. I could not get clutch-gear, and I had to make a homemade version. But it is very simple and anyone can do it myself.

Very cute model. And much more cool that it have all that functionality. Better than TLG Arocs for me)

[Lakop]

really nice truck and trailer, but does it only tip from the side?  The tipping gate mechanism looks interesting.

Great front end for sure!

As for that clutch gear, that's an interesting idea. I've seen 3L axles with studs used in the same way before, it's a good pure-Lego alternative to what you have there. Sariel also made this alternative:

Either way, very great model! :)

Thanks, I tried this option, but I do not have enough space. From below there is a differential and along the length I have 5 studs

This is a great build, very compact, it looks good, and has excellent functions! The front especially is awesome, great job on those angles.

Hmm, I see how you're limited by space now. Couple other ideas come to mind, but I'd have to build the model to see how it'd all fit together. Anyways, great model again!
