[MOC] Mercedes 917 AK

[Thirdwigg]

I'm a little into the 1:21 scale trucks these days, so after the Knuckleboom Truck and the U423, I wanted to do something a little more simple.

Free instructions are at Rebrickable.com. 

The truck is very similar to the Knuckleboom Truck, so it has the following features:

• Steering with HOG
• Rear wheel drive
• I3 fake engine
• Two speed transmission
• Rear pendular suspension
• Three way tipper bed with opening sides and HOG on cab
• Tipping cab
• Opening doors
• Tool box

Working together with the TC22 End Loader.

 

Everything open

Side tipping

And a little video if it's helpful. 

I hope you all enjoy. Another truck is coming soon....

Ah stop it, Kyle, too much trucks :D

Again, great work, in my opinion you really achieved a nearly perfect balance here of functionality, stability and looks. Great work!

Can't stop, won't stop! 

Yeah, maybe it's time for me to work on something different., but you should know, I have another three trucks in various stages of completion, so.....

Glad you like it.

Great little one again, looks cool and has nice amount of functionality! Doesn't even look overcrowded, I thought this much functions would make it more dense!

Yeah, I kept thinking what should I do with all this extra space. I added the toolbox was because even the side looked a little too emply.
