CrazyKreations Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone, I have been in contact with a few fellow eurobrickers and some of them have wanted a truck topic where we can all share different designs for our trucks and trailers. These designs could also include maybe some clever and effecient suggestions to show others how you made your amazing MOC! All forms of trucks are accepted tow trucks to mighty expedition trucks! Post your truck, or gain inspiration from others! For starters I will share mine: A sporty flatbed truck! Edited March 13, 2021 by CrazyKreations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aleh Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) A truck topic? Too general description, imho. What scale at least? Because I may suggest about 3 my old truck topics. I'll simply post appropriact linke rather than posting the images. Edited March 12, 2021 by Aleh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grego18f Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) So here are my attempts: SCANIA R Nextgen V8: A simple 4x2 tractor unit with a working V8 engine, adjustable rear height, and steering giving a rather small turning radius. A free 3D model (Stud.Io) is available on Rebrickable Mack Granite 6x4 dump truck: It has all the functions of the 42078 Mack Anthem tractor unit plus the dump bed lifted by a linear actuator: 6 inline fake engine, steering with a functioning steering wheel. Having these functions while keeping everything in scale was tricky but here is the result. Free PDF instructions on Rebrickable Mack Anthem day cab: I wasn't very satisfied with the proportions of the 42078 Mack Anthem set, especially regarding the curves and length of the hood and cabin. This turned out to be a day cab. it still has the functions of the original set. I am quite satisfied with this one. Again, free PDF instructions are available on Rebrickable Edited March 12, 2021 by grego18f Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keymaker Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Something from me: Replica of 6x6 KrAZ 255, with live axle suspension, separate drive shaft for each axle and working fake V8 engine More info here:https://bricksafe.com/pages/keymaker/4.-kraz-255 Edited March 12, 2021 by keymaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeTwo9398 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) These are the trucks I made. They have the same scale as the Mercedes Arocs 42043 . The airport refuler: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/153209-moc-airport-refueler/ And my 4x4 Truck with Innerloader: The cabin is the same but the chassis became shorter and is missing the gear box from the Refuler. I improved the wheel suspension on the front axel, but kept the steering mecahnism the same making it possible to have a short turning radius. http:// https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/170913-moc-truck-with-inner-loader/ For this truck I made building instructions. You can find it on Rebrickable. Edited March 13, 2021 by MikeTwo9398 typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

howitzer Posted March 13, 2021 Looking at these I want to build some trucks, though my skills are nowhere near the level of other builders in this topic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mate don't worry one of the first things you do when thinking of designing is a plan, maybe a modular chassis to get you started! The more compact the better it is! That is also why this topic exists, to provide inspiration and to share your builds! Edited March 13, 2021 by CrazyKreations Added more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The more compact the better it is! That is also why this topic exists, to provide inspiration and to share your builds! Yeah, I know. The actual problem is that I already have half a dozen projects and very little free time to do much about them either, so adding new projects would be mostly a waste of time, at least until I get some of the previous ones finished.

Jerry LEGO Creations Posted March 13, 2021 I also made a truck some years ago. It's a manually controlled dump truck. It isn't the best looking one, but it might be worth sharing. It has a fully functional crane, steering, fake engine, tiltable cabin, outriggers and container. Some more info on it (pics, instructions, video) can be found on bricksafe here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
