Effe's MOC Corner

[efferman]

someone needs a big scale axle, not me, with planetary gears and twintires. so i have done something.

the axle is 31 studs wide and has a gearratio of 1:11,2

because he want to build a 6x6 ther will come a second axle.

I like to make big wheels as in my Porcupine,and I also use turntables , http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=110044&hl=porcupine

I would like to have more détails.

Very good job !

[oracid]

Thank you.

[efferman]

Thank you so much, Efferman !

[efferman]

This is for the Arocs, but in this early build i want post it here. The suspension is harder than on the 42043, but with the axle loadsensing the offroadcapabilitys should be a little bit better.

[syclone]

For me it looks a lot better than the original!

[TheItalianBrick]

Sorry Efferman but since you are designing a new part why don't you allow the use of a differential?

Anyway I've made a 8X8 chassis with leaf springs and they work very well! No need to design a 3D printed part! Also I have ackerman on the axle! What else do you need LOL

[PhyBuilder]

Since you've already made it, it's probably not a problem for you to show it here too.

[efferman]

actually i dont have the intention to build a 8x8.

btw pictures please

[Dafgek81]

Very Nice those leafsorings, any chance on instructions that would match with the original buildinginstructions off the original truck?

[TheItalianBrick]

Since you've already made it, it's probably not a problem for you to show it here too.

It's just the chassis, so first I'll have to complete the all truck and thell I'll show it!

actually i dont have the intention to build a 8x8.

btw pictures please

But you are going to sell those parts so I'm sure there is someone interested on making an 8X8!

About the pics I need to finish the truck first! I'm not fitting them under the Arocs, I'm designing a new MAN 8X8!

[efferman]

i have to buy the parts too, and my intention to build not a 8x8 has the reason that i have actually not the money to buy the front axles.

you have a chassis, you can make pictures.

dafgek it will give a complete new chassis. so no compatible instructions

[Dafgek81]

That I understand, but what I meant was is there a point where the modified chassis will fit with the rest of the original or does it need 100% new instructions?

[efferman]

this i can first know when it is finished

[Nasty2650]

Hi Efferman...

First of all I love your work. Its a great inspiration to us all I think....

I have a question though.

I can see you use LDD a lot. Do you make instructions as well ?

Now if you do I would very much like to know how you do that as I cant seem to make a proper instruction from LDD...

Or how I can use LDD to build a model from example a downloaded LDD file others have made.

The problem for me is that I think the LDD instruction mode is more or less useless (or I cant figure out to use it correctly)

Regards :-)

[efferman]

Yes, the ldd instruction mode is rubbish for complex models. so i make my instructions step by step. mostly i use screenshots, but at the grove uppercarriage i have made a file for every step.

When there is a file without instruction you have to disassemble the model part by part to see how it s build.

[efferman]

The steering system is finally finished

The Fake engine is placed, in relation to the cab, one stud lower and two studs more in front.

the wheel arch is a little bit shorter

[Henkl]

Hi efferman, how many studs is your truck over the fenders. I use allways 18 studs for the fenders, bumper and tipper and 17 for the cab. I think this is the best for these tyres.

[efferman]

19 studs. this is my standard width for the 62.4x20 tires

[efferman]

[Technic Jim]

Looking good. Please keep on posting pictures

[Dafgek81]

And PLEASE make instructions for this beautiful mod.

[efferman]

Thanks, but first i have to decide which payload it will have.
