shineyu Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Hello Everyone, Let’s me introduce my new MOC Caterpillar 390F Fully RC with Tow Haul. Do you remember my First MOC??? Extremely Large Mining Dump Truck, Now I will make it from dump truck to tow truck, it just for transporting caterpillar 390F. please take a look the photos and video.

Riley-NZL Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Why can't LEGO design sets like this? Well detailed and functioned, in a set size that would sell at a marketable price. I see a lot of MOC's and think "That's awesome, but would never sell", I honestly think this MOC is both "Awesome" and would sell well as a LEGO set (Probably minus the RC). Please submit this on LEGO ideas :P If I was to be really picky, the trailer could do with a bit of work. Edited March 17, 2016 by Riley-NZL Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Really nice. I think you should dedicate more time to a MOC, it always looks like you can't wait to show us but by doing so you miss some details. Nevertheless good stuff! How many pump cylindres have you used? The trailer has so much bending :cry_sad: Please submit this on LEGO ideas :P These things are likely to get nowhere on LEGO IDEAS. Quote
jus1973 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 The trailer has so much bending :cry_sad: I've not had much better luck avoiding this unless load is less than 1kg. I bet that machine is closer to 2.5. Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I've not had much better luck avoiding this unless load is less than 1kg. I bet that machine is closer to 2.5. ...or unless you design it properly Looks like the trailer is only one studs thick, just creating a frame of 3 studs height would make it way stronger and with a mimimun bend..

Paul B Technic Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I really like this, trailer needs some work... Quote
Milan Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Models are both great, especially the new excavator, but for me, star of the show are photos! I really like how you do them! Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I am not too sure about the trailer length and the construction technique used,but I do like the excavator and dumper. Can you share some pictures of the compressor and valves of the excavator? Quote
brickmeistro Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I would totally buy this as a flagship set... (I'm not sure if Lego ever got a Caterpillar brand license for any past sets) How many parts did you use for this version and what manual/powered functions do these have? Quote
motomatt Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 It's just awesome. Some comments on the trailer... I'm not an expert but in my experience studded beams are stronger than studless and offer less flexing for something like your long trailer. When I built a lowboy trailer similar to Ingmar's lowboy, I used an "illegal" technique where I inserted some small cut rubber band strips in between some adjacent beams to try produce a neutral bending/cupping of the trailer frame without any load... loaded the flex would not be as severe in the opposite direction.

N-4K0 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Great job with the excavator, it looks amazing! Quote
KirTech LAB Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Great work! What is the purpose of the actuator in the centre of the grabber? Quote
Lakop Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Great caterpillar and good combination with the other vehicle. Where did you get all those larger pneumatics from? H Quote
tripletschiee Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 And some more examples of your future version 2.0, shineyu! Quote
Milan Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Where did you get all those larger pneumatics from? There are really lots of them on Bricklink available. Quote
tripletschiee Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 And here a video, how the beast is working: Quote
grum64 Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) What a great set of MOCs. I especially like the Excavator and Dumper. Great work. Edited March 18, 2016 by grum64 Quote
