Wow, never would have guessed so many parts are going into this one! Looks very nice, reminds me somehow of the Lego Model Team models of yesteryear..

22000 are the partcount for 5 rotators which i have placed to make this 5 side view.

Edit:

19 Pages and the first module, the Outriggertower, is done.

That clarifies it a bit, nevertheless 22000/5 results in a nice 4400 parts for this great truck!

page 37

Edit:

page 57 default

or the option if the center bevel gear breaks

It drives very smooth. How did you achieve that with XL motors 

[efferman]

maybe there is only at the diffs an reduction. everything else is 1:1

When I do that It does not work, so I'll try mounting XL motor directly on axle and make 6 x 2 (when I finish ongoing projects)... Thanks

[efferman]

The difflock was an good idea. Without the cab it is not heavy enough in the front.

Small xray to show the Internals

yeah, got the message, but you havent read the description? the single pieces would be cheaper.

[Scoar Sonander]

Where do I get this single package of parts, and the instructions?

[efferman]

The links are in the description of the set. Axle support 2x, towing fork 1x and the turntable support 1x

[efferman]

Firefighter or Tow Service? please ignore the wrong coloured Part.

This is an amazing tow truck Effe. it is very accurate while staying functional. I'd say go for the Firefighter version. It breaks the all red face of the truck

[AFOLegofan66]

@effermanjust letting you know that the 13mm ring support is not listed as a separate item at Shapeways and only comes with the combo.

Shapeways is making sometimes a check if parts are harm the rights of Lego, and actually they check the turntable support. For this the product is offline.

 

[efferman]

a few parts are missing or in the wrong colour, but the cab is mostly done

Wow, looks great! I like the colorsceme. But 1.27 kg seems way too low, did you mean 12.7 kg?

1.27 kg. might relate to the weight being lifted.

Ooh, that seems more likely. Then I'd be intrested in knowing the overall weight of the Truck.

it is indeed the weight on the hook. The weight of the Rotator is roundabout 4.2KG

[efferman]

Problem is solved by a few additional beams and pins.
