Just ordered those tyres, just wait a month now.

Nice. I went downsizing. I needed the tires for another MOC and slapped on some LEGO balloon tires to hold it up in the meantime.

The servo steering seems to work better with the PF Train Speed controller.

My L350F had been sitting on the shelf for a few months so I decided to dust it off and take some new photos. I prefer outdoor shoots but it is -5c this time of year

Before the shoot I had a go at replicating the proper L350F sloped back and also changed the rear end as I felt that the original was too squared off. I'm also using the Rock Crusher XT 1.9 tires but instead of foam inserts I actually put the included LEGO tires inside for added support. The best mod was adding Efferman's incredible steering system.

Cool, despite the crawler look... Excellent photographs!!! :wub:

I too want to take mine out doors for a few photos - I want to try forced-perspective, having worked out it's approximatly 1:18 scale.

My tyres has arrived

[Freekysch]

Are you pleased with them ? I have mine on he model for almost 2 weeks and everything is just fine, no problems at all.

Easy to fit to hub and look cool on vehicle well pleased. I will rebuild it to efferman's idea of using activators for turning the Volvo

they only cost about £10 for the set cheaper than 1 tumbler tyre thanks for the link guys and happy building

Whoop! mine just arrived four weeks early, not sure if Berlioz approves.....

I had a spare train RC remote and pretty happy with the steering using that. I'm fairly happy with the looks of it, but might try tidy the front section up, and definitely want to add some lights to this.

I think Berlioz may rather have a CAT 988H Wheel Loader instead.

With all the other 'Big Yellow Machines'.

With my 8110 Unimog!

Please tell me you are joking, converted to NZ $, that's 1/3 what I paid for mine ($400 NZD ~€244)

Take it easy, I have just checked.

It is written: WITHOUT electronics!

The price today is 180 Euros (http://www.valuebrick.at/lego-themen/lego-technic/LEGO-Technic-42030-VOLVO-L350F-Radlader.html), not 80 :(

That makes me feel a bit better, still a bit cheaper than what they are selling for down here (~$300NZD instead of $400)

If its 180 Euros without electronics, that makes it pretty expensive doesn't it?

I don't keep up with 42030 as I don't own it, YET, but are there c models created from 42030?

Yes:

Looks like an Telehandler (Glorified forklift)

[andrewganschow]

Ahh, ok thank you

[ctx1769]

Well finally finished the custom build and it drives much better than the original build . Thanks to effermann for the redesign, catweazel for the pdf, freekysch for the link on the tires and my own brain for moving the front mudguard back

[JJ2]

I almost scored myself one of these for $115 but someone bought it just before me little bit disappointed.

[BrickWild]

I've made a few improvements to mine!

For example, I've added a towing hitch!

Also, I've made some lubricant containers too! And yes, they're blue like the real thing!
