Hello and welcome to the page! One of my favourite sets ever! It became a part of my collection in a veeery long and hard way several years ago. I was thinking to motorize it several times. Simply install several motors was easy deal, but I wanted a suspension also. This requires fully rebuild the chassis. So, initially I built a completely new scale RC chassis, then adapt it for 8285 outriggers, that adapt it for the 8285 crane then adapt it again for the 8285 cab. I tried to keep as much from original iconic 8285 as possible. None of the 8 PF motors is visible One BIG battery box + 2 sBricks OR two sbricks 2.0 can be used to manage al 8 channels. The only manual feature is a pneumatic polarity switcher, because it would be a 9th channel. Full suspension, rear based on 42043 Arocs set. Servo for steering 2 XL for drive M for outriggers L for pump M for winch L for crane raise L for boom extensionin Please enjoy! https://bricksafe.com/pages/Aleh/liebherr-lrb-355/rc-8285-rescue-tow-truck Truck now uses 6 soft shock abosorbers. To keep it higher it will be enough to replace first rear axle to yellow shock absorbers.

The forever project

Months of collecting pieces is finally showing a bit, on the 8285 tow truck. Changing this set, as much as I can, to a white model, with black or red, thought it would be fun...... Next task, how to suspend it without it looking to high and staying with a solid front axle, struggling with this alot. Suspension is a bit of a mess, but working on it. I have kept all the original pieces seperate, I'm not sure why but my brain said I had better lol. -

Who doesn't like pneumatic engines?

Hello everybody, Since i never posted something i have build, i thought this would be something nice to post. Since another project which i'm following has took a break i thought it would be nice to use one of LPEPowers engines in an official LEGO set. :) I've tried the SYS I3 in 8285 with no succes so far. Today i had some spare time and made a fast moc-up with 8146 which works. Lightweight body and very simple chassis. No suspension or else was needed, i did build a torsional bumper, because safety first! This was the result in 3 hours: Very disappointing the V8 did not fit. :P Geared 1:3. The result was blazing fast. Now we can call the model a real nitro muscle car. :) When the video is uploaded to my Dropbox i'll post some footage here with a small teaser about a more serious project. :P Edit: Here it is: https://www.dropbox....7lsjk/Forum.wmv It seems like Dropbox is putting down the videoquality a lot. :/ Edit 2: Resized images due their too big size. -
[MOD] 8285 with trailer
ed-orange posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi everybody. I build another MOC in the last days and wanted to share the result with you. Is is nothing special, but I like it. The whole truck is exactly 100 cm long (trailer is 66 cm). The truck is motorized with power functions, it has one XL motor for driving and one M motor for steering. For a better steering I have attached a worm gear. It seems, that I only build log trucks :-) Enjoy the pictures and let me know, what you think...
