Dave21 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Hi everybody, I want to present you my planned TC6 Entry: A remote controlled Dumptruck with 4 axles. The functions are: - Driving the rear wheels with a XL-Motor - Steering the two front wheels with a Servo-Motor - Cabin tilt with a M-Motor - Tilting dump bed with 2 LAs over a L-Motor (or maybe XL-Motor) - Open the doors (manual) All motorized functions are controlled by 2 IR-Receiver and 2 Remotes. This model isn´t based on an real model, it should represent a standard European dumptruck. My design of the cabin is inspired by 8258, but I choose a different color scheme. Here are a few screenshot of my current project in LDD: ---UPDATE--- The first WIP pictures: The next WIP pictures: The finished model: Comments, critic and suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for reading Dave Edited February 11, 2015 by Dave21 Quote

I planned to use 6 flat yellow panels for the dump bed. In the body there are 4 other flat yellow panels. So I need 10 panels in total. Dave Quote

Coola1 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 It's looking pretty good! Does it have suspension? Quote
Dave21 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 It's looking pretty good! Does it have suspension? Thanks Coola1. Unfortunaly I don't have the needed parts for supspension, so I never planned to use suspension. But I think it must be possible to fit suspension into this model. Dave Quote
