[MOC] Tucker Sno-Cat - Trail Boss
Pvdb posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have always been interested in the Tucker Sno-Cat range of vehicles with their articulating 4 track system (read more at Sno-Cat). This model is based on the 2000 series Sno-Cat, and includes the snow tiller found on the more recent Trail Boss models. This is a significant iteration of a previous MOC that I created a number of years ago, making use of all of the new orange parts that have been gradually released by Lego over the years. This model utilises Buwizz3 (it could be adapted to run with Buwizz2) to drive a number of functions: 4 track drive all track steering (including steering wheel in cab) raise / lower front snow plough raise / lower rear tiller PTO to the rear tiller when model is driven to spin the snow smasher (not the technical name for this part) The model also includes a suspension system and articulating tracks, opening doors, additional controls on the Snow Plough to enable forward/back and horizontal tilt of the blade. Both the Plough and Tiller can be removed to allow for new attachments to be connected to the Sno-Cat.I have used system bricks a bit more extensively that I have ever done before in my technic models to capture the details, both external and inside the cab.

A mini snow groomer. Based on the Tucker Terra Sno-Cat 200 series, and also on a much larger MOC that I created last year. It was a major challenge getting down to 201 parts with this tracked vehicle especially as the track links took up the first 60 parts! One more part to remove!! I think we should have a Top Gear type rule where every additional part over 200 count as a negative point!!! Some LDD pictures below, real pictures to follow. It has front/rear steering (HOG doubles as the exhaust) All four tracks pivot. The pull/push lever at the back raises and lowers the snow plough The Big Brother
