[MOC] Compact RC Semi-trailer truck

[Hogwartus]

I' ve made a scale model of semi-trailer truck with a trailer. It's in 1:60 scale, so wouldn't look out of place in a minifigure scale Lego City. But it is remotely controlled.

Video:

Functions:

• drive (truck RWD) - L motor
• steering (with right geometry) -  Servo motor
• remotely openable trailer's cargo door - M motor

Everything is controlled remotely using SBrick, powered by standard 8881 battery box.
 

Internals of the trailer, door opening mechanism, battery box and sbrick were packed here:

Please watch the video to see this machine in action and for more details.

What a wonderful model this is! It looks fantastic and I'm amazed at how you managed to keep it so small and yet fully RC. The way you integrated the servo into the cab is especially ingenious.

Was that a black kitty towards the end of the video?

Very nicely packed. I really like the door function. Looks like a lot of fun to play.

Wow, very creative project! Cabin looks also intresting. ;)

Nice truck I always wanted to do something similar and have fun trying to park it.

Didn't notice the servo at first, nice job!

Parking it is not easy, but fun too, yes.
