[MOD] Motorized 42128 Tow Truck - 12 Motors and 3x BuWizz

[KirTech LAB]

Hi! A few months ago I've motorized the set 42128. All the functions have remote control except the axle lifting. The model has 10 remotely controlled functions including pneumatic system with compressor, pressure gauge and air tanks.

12 motors in total and 3x BuWizz 2.0 to control all the functions:

- 3x L-motors to drive

- Servo-motor - steering

- 8x M-motor: compressor, 3x pneumatic valves, outriggers, rear jack, crane rotation, double winch

I have detailed video in Russian, you can find there many pictures of the inner structure.

Thanks for watching :)

Amazing how you managed to fit in so many motors and still looks much the same from the outside, nice modifications. Great to see how it has enough power to lift the D11 and pull forward!

I thought it was a joke initially, like "I hardly wanted to add them... But managed to add only..." but it is Desert752's case when he is really able to do it!

Now I will not be surprised to see Grave Digger  ex-pullbacks with 4 buggy motors and the same external apperance)) 

@desert752, you did and amazing magic!

It's insane how you integrated 12 motors and 3 battery boxes into this build as it already is quite packed. Astonishing work!

Great!

Even almost all of the motors are invisible, I guess the tandem axle is no more working.

 

What is the effect of two pneumatics instead of one on the winch?

This looks great well done!,

Really impressive! I guess it basically doubles the price of the set, yet it multiplies its playability by much more than that!

Well, given that a single Buwizz costs more than the whole set, I'd assume that's worth about 5 or 6 times the original price!

Great work, though!

Thanks :) You are right, I've excluded this function to mount more motors in the rear part of the model.

Two cylinders look more realistic and the crane is more powerful )
