A truck lost his trailer while making a turn to left. One car has been hit by the trailer but the driver is alright. Police was at the scene verry fast and closed the roads to the accident. The fire department arrived to clear the scene for the tow trucks. When the tow trucks arrived they started to clear the scene. The police is investigating how the accident happend. The accident just happend. The police is closing the roads. The fire department arrives at the scene. The scene is getting cleared. I hope you guys liked my MOC!

Just wanted to share my failed MOC. It's a truck with trailer. The truck had rear wheel drive through 2 XL motors and was steered by an M motor with clutch. It also had front lights controlled by a switch in the rear. I never was really a fan of the truck's looks ,especially my makeshift wheel arches made from panels, and I lost interest in building it. On the other hand I was very satisfied with the trailer. It was finished unlike the truck and looked quite smooth to me and had pneumatic legs which worked well. It also had a pair of lights in the rear which connected to the truck's switch with a long extension wire. The back of the trailer didn't look too great either. It also had a bit of sag which can be expected from something this long Here's both of them together. It was quite long, the trailer alone was about the length of 42009 Thanks for reading and hopefully my next MOC will succeed and be far more interesting than this -
Hey all, For the past few weeks I have been working on my latest project, a 10x6 Foden S108 R4 tractor unit with a truck mounted crane. I am about 70% of the way through and thought that it was about time that I released this project to the world. After having been given a request to build a truck with a crane on it so I thought I might as well go all out As the title implies it is a five axle beastie with the three rear axles driven by two L motors mounted on either side of the chassis and the two front axles steering through a servo motor. As the images show the truck has the chassis built, the rear stabilisers and the forward mounted crane attached, with the crane being a modified version of the 8258's crane, with two M motors mounted in it for movement which will be controlled from a control panel on the left side of the truck. Although the truck is already quite heavy without the cab attached, the hard coupled L motors appear to be able to drive the truck at a pretty decent speed with a reasonable amount of torque backing it up. The one main issue that I have found so far is that the crane, when fully extended, can only reach to the rear of the truck which is a bit of a pain with this being a tractor unit. This Flickr album I found by Hilifta/Mike Cornwall has images of what I am attempting to recreate. NOTE: Don't expect my MOC to have the same colour scheme as those in the reference images due to the limitations of the colours of my parts collection Enough of the rambling on about it, time to give you some idea of how it looks: Then of course, we have the all important bottom shots Things that I still have to complete are the front stabilisers, motorising the stabilisers to make them RC controllable, finish the rear bodywork and build the cab. I will hopefully have more photos to share with you soon, all advice and and comments are appreciated. As always more photos of this build and many of my others can be found on my Bricksafe: http://bricksafe.com/pages/Kiwi_Builder/Technic Cheers -
After a long time lurking, I finally found time and space to pick up building myself I picked up a 42009 and 42023 to supplement my brick-based Technic collection from the '80s and '90s with some modern studless. But considering my collection, my building style will be mostly "bricked". I was inspired by Grazi's tow truck and the trucks of 2LegoOrNot2Lego. Specifically, I wanted to built a realistic truck with suspension, drivetrain, etc. The skills of aforementioned gentlemen are out of reach for me, but nonetheless I'm quite proud of my creation: I went a bit overboard with the features: Suspension on all axles Driven rear live axles 4-speed manual gearbox (based on this one from Sariel) 6-cylinder inline engine (hood and bullbar can be titled for access) Front axle controlled with HOG wheel on cab Working steering wheel inside cab Motorized winch Motorized double compressor with two airtanks and automatic shut-off switch It's all a bit tight, but it all works well without illegal construction techniques. I'm not entirely happy with the linkage for the axle suspension: there is too much play around the vertical axis. Also, if you drive the truck backwards over a bump, you lose the front axle More photos on Brickshelf and Bricksafe. -
Greetings, Here's a look at the rear suspension i'm using for a truck I've been working on for six months. I only have time for a couple of hours at weekends. Just wanted to share this with you. Could be a while before it's completed. H

G'day all. I"m all for the bandits. Sometime you need to haul a lot of stolen stuff like pursuit vehicles for scrapp'n and to provide help in the heat of a chase and battle. "Its a truck" you say, "there slow" you say well 'Lights out' is a little different and this is why. Normal truck Nothing special. HOG steering. Battle mode Fold down rear guards to protect wheels and for side swiping. Extending front chassis to reveal second supercharged methanol drinking V8. You can never have to many V8's with that much power. Fold over half bonnet to become a car scoop. Fold down front grill for spikes. Gull wing doors with missiles on the ends. Pop out or off ( I'm undecided on which one ) battering ram fuel tanks....KaBoooooooom to the vehicle beside you. Possible sleeper box with fold over roof machine gun. Some sort of suspension. Trailer (may be) Push out rim spikes on second axle. Crane with harpoon gun, winch and claw grab. Saw blades, gotta have saw blades somewhere. Side car flipper arm/panel. Front compartment will house a massive jet engine. When in trouble the trailer will break off to reveal the jet turbine which stays on the back of the truck for an instant get away and fry the pursuit car behind you. I maybe a little too ambitious but the only thing stopping me is the hatted colors off all time Cursed black and clean White ( half of my Lego pieces). Here is what I have done so far.

Location: D04 - Terrial Minor Tags: MANTIS, piracy, vehicle Job: Driver Start Log: After a rather uneventful mission on C04, I got another more exciting assignment: capturing some Kawashita vehicles and equipment. I even had the help of the drones I'd previously confiscated from Octan hands, though now they have a much more suitable paint job. They were pretty thrilled to receive an actual combat mission, and get to drive some sweet new MANTIS rigs: The MANTIS bulldozer/tank features a spinning cockpit, and opening cargo bay; the MANTIS hovercraft features hinging sections, the MANTIS motorcycle features an opening rollcage; and the Kawashita cargo truck features a working tailgate.

For the past two months I've been building my entry for the Enforces vs. Bandits competition, and it has finally arrived! Enforcers - Valuable Transport My source of inspiration is an actual valuable transport truck that I once saw driving over the Dutch highways: which led me to think: how cool would it be to hide some sort of advanced weaponry in there and have it fold open? First I thought about folding open the container, but in the end it's the entire truck that folds open. Also, the weapons I envisioned were different from what they have become, but the main idea is still there. So, the specs: Manual functions First of all, three of the four axles have steering. The third axle is idle, but has double tyres. I used the same steering linkage as D3K did in his Midi-scale pneumatic crane truck (with his permission), but I reinforced it, sacrificing some ground clearance. Another feature is that the doors of the cabin can open. Electric functions The truck houses the normal battery box driving an M motor. This drives a gearbox that operates three functions: transformation rotating the turrets raising/lowering the guns Transformation Getting the transformation to work was the biggest challenge. The entire sides of the truck are panels that are hinged at the bottom. Via a worm gear system they are deployed outwards. Also, the seats will rotate so that they face the weaponry, so that the driver can operate them. Because of the weight of the side panels, transforming back into transport mode takes well over a minute... Armament In battle mode, the truck shows two turrets carrying two guns, having three bullets each (making the total ammo 12). Via the gearbox the turrets can rotate together, and the guns can be raised. A spring-loaded mechanism is used to shoot. No specialized parts have been used, except the standard dark-gray 9.5L springs from set 8880. Shooting is done manually by rotating the knob wheels. The bullets are white 1x5 beams. Here's a computer image of all the functions. And, of course, the video. -
Hello everybody! I making this topic to showcase my first ever real MOC. I have made things before, but never something exceeding 20cm in length before, or something complex. This MOC is inspired by those beautiful long-nose semi trucks I see on the road everyday here in Canada. I am also inspired by the works of 2LegoOrNot2Lego and Sariel, two people who I say make some of the best trucks out of Lego, visually and technically. For my MOC, I used LDD since I do not have many parts for a semi truck in general, and money wise, I can't afford much right now. This is also my first time using LDD. I have no clue how to use those more advanced programs like LDraw. I am rendering better photos (POV) for my MOC, and an in-depth description of my MOC will follow shortly, but here are some crude teasers :D I made 2 models. One black and one red. Visually, they look the same, except for the color, but internally, they are a bit different. Can you guys guess what features this truck will have? This is my first real MOC, so it is a bit simplistic, but you can still give it a shot! Don't be disappointed to find out it will probably not have most of the extravagant function you guys will hope for :P Aside from the teaser pictures, I didn't make this post for nothing :D I have a questions to ask. I used LDD to make these trucks, and it allows me to generate instructions. But how can I convert the animated instructions into some readable copy? Like a PDF or something, something I can print? I am never gonna sell anything, so I also want to have a PDF file for you guys! -
Hi all! I am making this project for the contest, i did not finished it yet, but here the time is to share some details about it. Unfortunately i have little time to build(5-10 hours weekly), but i try to finish this vehicle until deadline. The project is a Mercedes Econic garbage truck. I tried to build the truck (mostly the cabin) the same as the real one, but the garbage treatment section is an own creation. I used these pictures for guide: More pics here and here! So let's see some details about the vehicle: dimensions: LxWxH: 80x21x23 stud (63x17x18 cm) pieces: 4100-4200 weight: about 4 kg fake engine: 4 pistons in a row 3 axles, 1. and 3. axles are steerable in different angle, also the steering wheel is turning in the cabin 6 motorized functions with 2 M and 2 L motors and 3 gearbox. Functions: 1 L motor: changing gears 1 L motor: driving / blade sweep 1 M motor: steering / tailgate raiser 1M motor: garbage ejector / slide packer Manual function: cabin tilting Little functions and details: tilt seats, dashboard, openable grille, openable doors on both sides, etc. The video: You can download the LXF file from HERE! (*.rar) Thanks! -
Concrete truck Mk II. After the first attempt where things were there were scaling issues I had another crack at it today. Ideas are to have 8 wheels so twin steer. Both drive axles and simple sturdy construction. The functions are: L motor for drive. Servo motor for steering. L motor for the mixing bowl. M motor for the chute. Manual functions will be opening doors, cab tilt and chute swing from side to side.

Hi Everyone! Today i want to show you my latest creation. It's a Classic Space Truck with Rocket Launcher Trailer. It's inspired by set 462 or 897 and with 6927 colour scheme. Because this is Classic themed, so i make this like old shape. This is the pictures (Sorry for bad pictures quality): Picture for just the truck: Picture of the spaceman on his "computer": Picture of just the Trailer (or with the Rocket): The Function of the landing gear are inspired from set 75875: This is the Picture Gallery/Album. This is the LXF File. All parts colour are exist in real life, but i make substitution for the print of the minifig torso, i use benny's print instead of regular spaceman torso print. Hope you like it.

Hey everyone, Here it is, after about half a year of on and off work, my new MOC, a working model of a MAN TGS Dakar Truck. A video showing all the functions: The chassis is entirely LEGO, and has: -Servo steering -4x4 transmission -2x buggy motor drive -live axles on front and back -opening doors -working lights It also has custom stickers, as well as a box for the rear, made of styrofoam board, acrylic stickers, glue, plastic sheets, and regular stickers, which took a while to perfect, but turned out pretty well in the end. Hope you guys like it! -
Modular truck attachment system (MTAS) is a standard I have designed and developed to allow various attachments and tools to be used on my LEGO Technic truck. This system provides for the flexibility to easily swap attachments on the truck, depending on the use of the truck at that time. The idea for this came about from my experience designing and building Unimog attachments which I have really enjoyed designing and building over the past few months. The truck features: - Hand of God steering - Opening cabin doors - Scissor Lift The first attachment for this is a modified Unimog attachment scissor lift. Over a period of time I will be converting more Unimog attachments to use with this and building new ones from scratch. -
Hey Guys, In this thread I'll introduce my race/trophy truck It features caster, kpi, long-travel suspension (front independent, rear fixed-axle) with damping, RWD, manually functional LED lights, hood, doors, extendable door steps, and moon-roof. Rather sizeable, at 4kg, and 65 (L) x 31 (W) x 30 (H) studs in dimension. Weight distribution is 50:50. And here's how it looks underneath... There was no modification to LEGO pieces, and no 3D printed parts were used. However, I've opted to use 3rd party components (mainly the electronics) because where I live, TLG does not deliver. There is a local shop selling LEGO stuff, but is often poorly stocked when it comes to Technic/PF components. While I do realise that these won't integrate readily with LEGO Technic pieces, and wiring will be messy, I was willing to give it a shot because they offer better performance and configurability. I started off wanting to include a gearbox (at least semi-auto if possible), camber and ackermann, full independent suspension, 4WD, etc. But as you'll see in due course, I encountered challenges either directly or indirectly due to my use of 3rd party components . I will provide more details about these later on. For now, suffice to say that there is some sort of a dilemma here - With LEGO PF, I can probably incorporate all these features, but I'll end up with something that drives like a tortoise (which defeats the purpose of having these features in the first place). However, with 3rd party electronics, I'm able to drive much faster, but that also resulted in the need to build a stronger model to withstand occasional crashes, and stronger drive-train to handle greater torque, and all these bits and pieces add to the resulting weight and size (don't forget that I need additional pieces to act as 'bracing' for the 3rd party electronics too). More details later on... For now, I've prepared a short video: In subsequent posts (assuming that there is sufficient interests), I will describe the challenges that I've encountered, and how they contributed to my current design decisions. Roughly, I'm thinking of elaborating on these areas: - Steering Axle/Hub Design (including how I incorporated a 3rd party servo) - Drive-train Design (why and how I gear down the brushless motor way before the wheel portals) - Suspension Design (why do i use this part, among other things) - Any other areas that you guys want to know more about... -

[MOC] RC Micro Truck
Chade posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi everybody, It's been quite hectic for me over the past 3 months, but I finally got some time to build over the Easter break. I wanted to see if I could build a small RC vehicle using the cargo plane's back wheels (42025). I settled on a truck as it was the easiest vehicle to fit all the PF components in. Below is the result. Specs - 1x L motor at 1:1.33 - 1x Servo - functional hood - functional doors - battery access at back - working front lights - 28Lx11Wx11H (chassis, in studs) - 588g The truck is 4 studs smaller in width (11W vs 15W) compared to what I'm used to and it certainly presented some interesting challenges. It's loosely based on a GMC truck. It's not perfect, but for its size I'm quite happy with it. Unfortunately due to the small size of the wheels, I had to use a 2 stud high technic part from 20 years ago for steering (part 4261). I don't believe there's any new parts that can accommodate this (Please let me know if there is!). More images at bricksafe Once again, any feedback is appreciated. -
Hey guys. For the last couple of days I've been building on a new project: a Scania WLS. Dutch people may recognize this truck as the dutch military heavy transport truck, transporting containers and flatracks. Here a picture of the real thing: For now I got only a part of the chassis. I am satisfied with the front suspension, and the rear axle is nice and compact, but it has 4 tires per axle, so a differential was impossible at this scale. Also, it does have too much backlash in my opininion. If someone knows how to fix it, that will be nice! And in this scale, again, just like my previous truck, the wheels are too wide to add drive to it. I got some pics here, please comment if you got some tips! And oh, Steering isn't added yet, I found it quite complicated to do it right, I will work on it soon .

From Thirdwigg.com For Immediate Release, May 22, 2045 The 2045 Mercedes Benz Athane prioritizes safety, sustainability, and versatility. The 2045 Athane is the most advanced and cost effective truck in our 150 years of truck building experience. As cities become denser and multiple transportation modes are becoming more prevalent, road safety for all road users must be paramount. The Athane’s ThemoCommLink (TCL), located on the right front and right rear bumpers, allow motorized vehicles to communicate to one another. The TCL also detects the heat signature of pedestrians and cyclists. Identification and communication with other users, keeps all road users safer. The driver is seated in the center and forward in the cab to increase vision. Retention of a human driver allows for relational interaction at the job site, and helps the technology make good decisions about varying road situations. The TCL Technology assists the driver so fewer errors are made. The front bumper shaping and full length wheel guards lowers the severity of crashes with non-motorized users should they occur. The Athane uses eight steerable wheels to improve weight distribution and increase city maneuverability. While many manufactures are switching to floatation and hover type drivetrains, this setup allows for unmatched braking control, and removes disruptive air currents to those walking and cycling close to the moving truck. The Athane’s Methane-Hybrid driveline continues Mercedes Benz’s prioritization of decreasing fossil fuel use. The Athane uses electric propulsion using energy stored in the batteries under the cab and bed. Battery charging is done by braking and by a small methane powered combustion engine behind the cab. Additionally, the Athane can be ordered with an induction charger under the cab to work with newly developed induction charging roadways being installed in many municipalities. Methane gas is clean burning, and a significant byproduct of the waste and recycling process currently in place with Octan Rubbish. A partnership with Octan Energy and Mercedes Benz has developed a standard way to reap, store, transport, and fuel the Athane’s regeneration engine using methane gas. Removable methane tanks are house behind the rear wheels, and in smaller tanks in the cab. Today’s logistics companies are searching for ways to improve versatility and lower cost. The Athane’s SmartStack systems allows for interchangeable bodies, cargos, and applications all with one common truck. The SmartStack system makes it easy to change the load in just minutes. The connection fits the international container standard. Many body work designers are applying this standard as well. In one afternoon, you can ship a container, deliver a load of concrete, and pull a fifth-wheel with the standard hitch. Welcome to the future. The 2045 Mercedes Benz Athane keeps all road users safer, decreases our harm on the planet, and supports all work tasks needed. Features: · 8 wheel steering · Sleeping bed · Aerodynamic cabin · In-cab Storage System · ThemoCommLink, front and rear · SmartStack System · Fifth-Wheel Hitch · Wheel Guards · Large/Low Bumper · Methane Tanks · Hybrid Motor · Induction Charger · Batteries · Passenger Jump Seat · Front and Rear Lighting · Video Mirrors on Each Side of the Steering Wheel · Visibility Focused Driver Placement Press Release Gallery Here. -
Hello everybody! I’d like to show you my hookloader. The red arm looks maybe a bit too plump but it is stable enough for children’s hands. Stability is as well the reason why it is just possible to load and unload containers but not tipping them - when I need a tipper truck, there is another one in the garage ;-) The colour scheme is inspired by one of Austrian’s most important companies for heavy transport and lifting technology http://www.felbermay...ndex.php?id=410 I built as well a trailer for the truck. As in real life it is possible to unload containers from the trailer with the hookloader. Mainly the truck is used to transport equipment for my cable crane and as well to supply the construction sites. Interested what you say! Regards, Mario

Good evening everybody! This is my first MOC to be posted on EB ;-) After I saw some truck trial competitions I wanted to build one truck in minifig scale. It should be a class III, close-to-production 3-axle truck. The real ones you can see here http://www.europatrucktrial.org/ TruckTrial_1 by MariusL, auf Flickr Colour scheme is inspired by the two main sponsors ;-) TruckTrial_2-1_Gelaende by MariusL, auf Flickr outside in the real world TruckTrial_8 by MariusL, auf Flickr Most important for me had been the main function – in this case the chassis with the pendular axis for maximum cross-country mobility, the design of the roll cage and as ever the playability.

Hello! I continue to post my creations on Fire Trucks theme. This is the time of the my Off Road Fire Truck. Is based on the model from 2012 set 4208 "4x4 Fire Truck". Over the standard set equipments, now has two more large compartments, more equipments as chainsaw, a fire hose with relative control panel and lights.
