I have started building the 8846 Tow truck studless remake for the "[TC20] Technic Studless Recreation Contest"

BrickLink - Set 8846-1 : Lego Tow Truck [Technic:Expert Builder] -  BrickLink Reference Catalog

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.

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.

As I don't have the corvette wheels, I used a sprocket as a front knob.

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.
