Ideas for experienced builders.

Recommended Posts

Couldn't find any thread for this so i created one. 

So if you happen to know or find something interesting, share the idea.. Some builder might actually go for it. 
(Ideas that nobody has done before preferably. If you already know somebody has done it before, please post a link!)

Liebherr L300 from the 50s:

"When Hans Liebherr hires a cable excavator in 1953, he notices the poor power-to-weight ratio. Eight months later, he presents the first hydraulic excavator in Europe - the L300. This is four times lighter than the hire machine. In 1954, series production of the powerful machine begins."

I can already see this with the Arocs tires and the cabin with these panels

The Renault R5 from 1972 - The little Friend:

With stick shift of course - this type:

we had an R5 back then - probably one of the best cars in the world :pir-huzzah2:.

Huh, that's a bit underwhelming (but what can you expect from a trencher actually...). I would have hoped to see how the wheel raises and lowers, and where the dirt is being dispatched and all. Still, thank you Doug! I will do some more research on this thing, seems like an oddly complex but satisfying object to replicate...

Could it turn out to be a time-machine type thing? Trenching at this speed allows the crops to grow on the fly. A planter and harvester are maybe hidden in there as well?

Harlay davidson wheel will perfectly fit for this car. Maybe front normal bike tire and rear thick tire(from harlay) will work?

For the looks, the normal front bike wheels will be too narrow I guess. Also, these are 94.2 mm tires in contrast to the 81.6 mm tires of the 42115 for example. Another thing is, that the tires of the original R5 are fairly small , so this model would be huge.

@Mechbuilds You may want to specify that nobody has tried these ideas before, so no more "duplicates" show up.

My thoughts...

People have already done the normal 4x4, but not the 10x10. I've tried, but cannot find a good articulation joint with my parts available.

I don't know someone made this monster. It looks awesome.

Looks like a concept from a 4-year old ... oh wait, it actually is....
