    fortunately the play in the towballs is enough. even in ldd it works http://www.doktor-brick.de/index.php/Attachment/5573-arocs-modified-rear-axle-lxf/ btw whats your opinion about these taillights? arocs taillights by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr

    someone mentioned to put the yellow springs on the rear axles. on my mod this is much to stiff

    on the frontaxle it will definetly get leafsprings. iam not sure on the rear axle. btw 100_1497 by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr 100_1498 by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr the fenders are not final

    today i have used jims gorgeous review to replicate the rear axles of the arocs. And iam not really satisfied. Maybe i have made errors because i had no instruction but it seems that the axle doesnt uses the full spring movement and the sideways guidance isnt the best too. so i have played a bit around. it seems to have more suspension travel and to be more flat. 100_1492 by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr 100_1493 by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr 100_1494 by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr 100_1496 by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr 100_1495 by Michael Wirth, auf Flickr

    it is only room for optimization, why we should bothering?

    i have made a second type of the outrigger. in opposite to the first one it is fully to motorize.

    actually 9.17€ for germany max supercars i have ideas, but they are expensive

    I think that the"control problems" , which are really minor problems, could be easyly solved when the pneumatic controls and the controling for the turntable would be on one place, for example on the roof of the cab.
  12. efferman
    yes it is my design

    for the 42043 the wishbone is much to large

    Shapeways is shipping with UPS and i think UPS delivers on nearly every place on this planet when you pay the price.

    today some parts are arrived fortunately i have fromn them only ordered a single part of them because they had some dimension problems. On the diff the two pins which are holding the center bevel gears, are to thin to hold the gears in a proper way. the ball adaptor has a to large inner diameter. both problems are fixed now in the shapeways files now to the victorys the U-Joint with 8z gear works perfekt And the wishbone fits perfect to the frame support. nearly zero play between the wishbone and the ball. And this without beeing to sticky.

    yes, some asking for new parts which are a little bit strange, and even when i have them uploded to shapeways they are never ordered. other things i have made only for myself, are ordered many times in relation how much they cost. It is a border which have everyone have to decide if he jump over it.

    the italian brick is right. most of them is buildable by standard bricks and the rear axle which i have posted some posts above is really far away from lego. but the arocs from lego is on the Axles more an M.A.N. Kat 1. no offense it is a great chassis which markus kossman has built, but an arocs has leafsprings or air suspension and this is something where iam be a crazy guy And btw, why not lego give ideas for new parts? the new turntable or the clamshell buckets, are they inspired by the community or do they have them in pipeline for many years? every year lego is publishing a bunch of new parts and using them in some models in a massive way to make the models possible. do you preach a lego designer "build it with classic lego parts, everything is possible with it" ?

    the rear axles
  19. efferman
    indeed, a set for one axle will cost in germany 43-44€ https://www.shapeways.com/product/RL4A7HKJF/axle-driven-and-steered-19w
  20. efferman
    let me first see what these axles costs.
  21. efferman
    changed it to the original arocs steeering mechanism.
  22. efferman
    the chassis will have the same width like 42043. and this has 19 studs. The distance between first and second axle has 2 studs more on my chassis. This fits better to the real arocs. btw, full ackermann and the same from an different angle
  23. efferman
    the outriggers would be in shape when the bodywork would cover the chassis. the chassis is 19 wide, and the body is mostly 17 wide. on the cab there is only the fender to make wider, but the tipper bed has to grow complete by 2 studs.
  24. efferman
    No, i have to integrate the counterpart into the rim.
  25. efferman
    two times this part and a 3l liftarm. it is part of the load leveling which the arocs have in real life it alows the axles to follow the ground without compressing the springs
