[MOC] 8x4x2 PF Medium scale truck

[TomasHubik]

Hi guys,

just finished my latest build after almost year long break from lego. It,s 8x4x4 truck inspired by Mercedes Actros. I know, another truck... But I ordered thouse weels and they seems to be great for trucks in medium scale.

Features:

4x2 Drive by L motor

4x2 Steering by servo motor with different angle (great turning radius)

Manual 2 speed gearbox

Openable doors

Liftable cabin

I would like to build more trucks in this scale! Any suggestions, what to build? I was thiking cherry picker or dumper for start? I will propably also create LDD model if anyone interested?

PS: Sorry for photo quality...

It looks georgeous and cute Maybe start with making a trailer for this model, preferably an oversize load version and you could also build some escorting vehicles in same scale?

I really like the cab. And what I like the most is the grill and front section fluently continuing to the doors... Great MOC. :)

I think this is worthy of reverse engineering. I will probably make a model with three axles instead of four.

Nicely done compact design, especially how the front grill came out. Not sure if you really need 4 axles at this scale, though, the second steered axle seems redundant, but it is a cleaver use of both outputs of the servo motor.

This is indeed a cute truck and very well designed and executed!!!

Um, wouldn't this just be called a 4X8? What is the 2 about?

Looks really nice, though, and using both sides of the servo is brilliant.

Hi guys,

thanks for replyes!

Yeah, I was thinking about it but it would be huge brick consument, so I will propably create it only in LDD...

I used 4th axle because this: http://tomashubik.com/temp/lego/mercedes/volvo.jpg was my chasis inspiration and as you said, I wanted to use both servo outputs :)

I thoughs that the third x2 is for steering? But maybe I'm wrong?

I'll finish LDD file today and post it here later at night.

PS: Cherry picker is now in progress ;)

Wow! Sooo cute im in love with it :D

Probably the smallest scale possible to RC-ize

Everything to scale, perfect ;)

With modern motors yes, but with micro motors http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=78696...

Great MOC! I also like the fluid flow. Looks great

Hi Guys!

Thanks for replyes. I really like these tires and already build 4x4 Cherry picker and 8x8 Dumper on same wheels, but have no time to make photos/videos and post it here.

Before those tires I worked with smaller one and created this: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=91180&hl=scania which is more compact.

I'm also currently (and extremly slowly thanks to lack of time) working on new page with building instructins for those trucks.
