[MOC] Goldhofer AST-1X 1360
Uranox posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Today, I would like to share my first creation on Eurobricks with you all. A model of a giant towbarless Pushback Tug. To be exact, the Goldhofer AST-1X 1360. The real vehicle can lift up the front landing gear of the biggest aircrafts. I tryed to build all the functions, how they are build in the real Goldhofer, especially with the rear steering. The model has 8 RC functions:- Front wheel drive (XL Motor)- Front wheel steering (M Motor) - Rear wheel steering (2x M Motor) -- I had to decide, whether I would like to have crab steering or steering with different wheel angles to allow smooth driving. In the end I've chosen the second option, because crab steering is still kind of possible.- Raise cabin (M Motor)- Pneumatic pump (L Motor)- Raise landing gear (L Motor)- Close lid (M Motor)- Fix landing gear (M Motor) Unfortunately, the model has some flaws. The cabin is lifted in a weird way, because of the battery box under it and I struggled with the lifting section. I had to use really strong clutch gears and worn out valves, and even with that, the valves didn't switch always. Also I had a problem with one of the pneumatic cylinders, the reason why I used two pumps. As a result I had to glue two 2L axle between the pumps to the red 1x2 thin liftarms because of the vibration. I was sick of searching for another solution . Here is a quick render, made with LDD and Bluerender.

Maybe I'll give that model another go in the future. -

This was actually all pure coincidence, how Superkoala said, also the music in the video. I couldn't believe it myself at first . So there was no collaboration. I started designing my model in late 2015 and had it finished for quite some time. I guess, I should have mentioned that. -

You can find the video at the bottom of the post. I had no firm scale, but you are correct, that it is about 1:22. Even if it is one stud too long. Thanks for your comments.
