How long does it take before you mod a set @efferman?

mostly hours after finishing a set

[Aventador2004]

Wow, that is very short.

Hey guys! Does anybody thinking about 8x4 or even 10x4 MOD? I do. But only after buong the set. It will be not in the near future :(

How about something like this?  Using the B-model cab instead of A-model.

For those that do not know, this is a concrete pump truck.

This is my project for this year on unimog wheels maybe on the MOD chassis from Lucio's crane truck/

[1gor]

@aminnich for that you need 2 sets + 2 extra wheels - it has 22 wheels!

very possible if you stay in the Anthem scale, though Id go 8x4.

[aminnich]

I wasn't necessarily saying that I would build it, but that would be a cool MOC to be based from the Anthem Bmodel

Interesting idea, maybe you could try with 2 combined sets.

[aminnich]

Maybe I'll have to attempt something like that. I don't have the time to build... look, I haven't touched my TC13 build in a while

Hi there, as we know is so boring manually play linear actuators. Then I developed an automatized version with an M motor, an extension wire and a switch control.

The motor is powered by the battery box from the RC truck and actuators are switched by a gearbox.

LXF HERE

Opinions and good ideas are welcome!

@evortigosa that's a neat solution, I see two issues - based on my experience the M motor might be too weak for this purpose (especially if you put anything in the container), and to operate the cranes smoothly you need to control both actuators the same time.

[evortigosa]

You have a point @kbalage

I don't built it yet but from the lxf, there is space enough to change the M by an L motor. 

I believe there is no need to control both actuators at same time, but I am not sure.

Thanks, by the way :)

@evortigosa I did not know it either until I tried it :) To stay as close as possible to the trailer with the payload it's better to control both actuators simultaneously. You can check it in my video.

[JonathanM]

I guess a double reversing gearbox would be best here so both LAs can be used at once in either direction. There seems like there should be enough space I think.

[efferman]

a short question to the Race version. With a stremline body or more naked?

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

Very nice @efferman ! But I'm not sure I like those rear fenders. Could you use something other than those angles panels? They do not fuse well with the body.

[1gor]

Race version is better to ne streamlined

Flatbed trailer built from parts used in container trailer:

 

[Shiva]

efferman, thank you for your mod work on the trailer.

Regarding the Race version? non streamlined version maybe?

Some work with my mods

 

Hello Michael,

First of all thanks for the great MOC. I would like to build this too.

I also read the whole post at the Doctor Brick Forum, looking for the final lxf from the 42078 MOC as seen in this video.

Somehow I'm not sure which is the final version.
Would it be possible that you can post the final version lxf again?

WideBody with RC on the truck + 20fuss version with RC on the trailer.

thank you in advance

 

 

[efferman]

there are many several final files of different types. The Trucks in the Video are this one

The 20 foot container Version is buggy on bricksafe.

Please reload it on bricksafe.

[efferman]

A letter in the file title was the problem. it is fixed now

[Brickgate]

Do you probably have a additional part list for your moc?

[efferman]

Sorry, i dont have a list like this
