mic8per_ Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) I have started building the 8846 Tow truck studless remake for the "[TC20] Technic Studless Recreation Contest" I have started with the front axle: As you can see, I will use a bit wider tires, also It will be one stud wider, so it will be 13, not 12 studs wide. Then, I have built the rear axle, and almost finished the chassis. This is all progress for now, more in next post. Edited July 7, 2021 by mic8per_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mic8per_ Posted July 7, 2021 The rear part is done: Functions and mechanisms are the same like in the original model, just built with modern parts. I will improve the look of the crane and the look of the truck itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I don't have the corvette wheels, I used a sprocket as a front knob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic8per_ Posted July 8, 2021 Finished: All functions are the same like in the origilal model. The only one missing function is working steering wheel (out of space). Uses a bit wider tires than the original model. the front knob is a sprocket. both front and rear winches use 3rd-party strings, but LEGO-ones from the original set cal be also used.
