morson1 Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Hi Lego friends! A short video of my Lego truck, a Volvo F12 Globetrotter log truck. I've been building it over the last couple of years, when money and energy has been present. It's close to 1:10 in scale and weight is 7,1 kilos. It's driven by two buggy motors and the steering is provided by one XL motor. Until the other day it also had a gearbox, but when making the video that gearbox failed utterly so I removed the whole thing and connected the motors straight to the axles for now. There's some more information in the video description if you are interested in the build. It's quite uncertain if I will work more on this truck or not, maybe it will be scrapped, but at least I wanted to share this short video of it here. Hope you enjoy!

This video gives me motivation to keep on my builds About the Forwarder, search on my Youtube channel for "Forwarder" and you will find some videos of it. (Why on earth does my quote end up in my picture post???) Edited March 7, 2020 by morson1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hurri Posted March 7, 2020 Oh I notice you are form sweden, regards from Finland That forwarder is cool too, I like to watch that when you drive on mud! I drive them in real life so it's cool to see lego versions. Does that truck have differential axels? And do you use power functions lights or some custom lights?

I'd love to try one in real life... but that will probably never happen. There are differentials in the trucks axles, but no ability to lock them. So if one wheel on each axle would start to slip, I'm stuck. But the truck isn't built for terrain unlike the forwarder, it's built because I've always wanted a truck and can't afford a real one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hurri Posted March 8, 2020 Ah okay I know that feeling, when you say that you wanted a real truck, this is the reason why I build lego excavators, its way cheaper than buy real one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The front headlights are those vintage white 1x2 bricks with built-in bulbs. The poppys, Michelin men, spotlights in cab and taillights are all the PF LED lights.
