cool, i love it

correct hmm if four pneumatic cylinders are enough to hold the load as a replacement part for the springs? in my head is buzzing a load sensed air suspension. edit: short proof of concept when the load on the cylinder is rising, it will compressed and pushs the valve to open. the compressor sends air through the valve in the cylinder and extends it, till the valve is in neutral position. when the load on the cylinder begins to decrease, the cylinder extends and opens the valve to the atmosphere. the cylinder will be compressed to the neutral position of the valve. is there enough pressure in the cylinder it will stay in this position. when not the cylinder will be more compressed, the valve will open and the cylinder will extend to the neutral position.

you are right maybe it is a good idea to modify it to a tractor unit with semi trailer. maybe i will wide em up to 19 studs, give it my tandem axle, build a new crane,..... oops is there anything remaining from 9397?

what a true word. but where is the satisfaction when the challenge is too easy? edit: who is find a missing part?

welcome on eurobricks. do you complete the trailer with a white arrow?

maybe you should try my drivetrain with differentials. with it works the steering pretty smooth

sweeet, simple and functional

iam only buildng so big because it gives me the possibility to try some things, which are in smaller scales not possible. And ignoring realistic borders, like in the car transporter, is not my thing. sorry, it is correct that the car transporter has not a working steering wheel? that is a must have for everything what is not a rock crawler look at the steering wheel edit: iam ready with the redesign of my 9395 RC mod. It is hardly to believe what it is neccessary to hide the receivers, but it looks much better now.

sweet, nice to see a so small 8x8

looks more like a Mercedes Benz Axor

Blakbird, that is a interesting theorie. its worth to think some time over it. T-Tank, a american conventional was not my intention, the tires are too small in relationship to a normal tractor unit tire. I dont know whats the standard tire size (outer diameter in cm)in the United States is, but in europe a normal Truck tire has a diameter of 104cm. The 8110 tires have in my scale a diameter of 95cm, so it will look like this Jumbo iam not sure with the cab, but i guess i will Try a Daf XF 105 super space Cab or a MAN TGX XL Henkl, i think it is only to make the options visible.

A axle which can move sideways is not good for a save driving, so i think what you have seen was a steering axle

iam not sure if i understand you correct, but is this the setup which you would prefer?

i think i must explain your picture with two other pictures The first picture shows the typical Lego Differential setup. All power must through the first diff and the driveshaft is rotating in two different directions and changes two times its speed before it reaches the second diff. in my eyes this generates a powerloss on the second driveaxle. even if the second picture looks like would be there a third diff, i dont think that it is one. This is the setup in your picture. The drivesaft rotates in one speed and direction and delivers 100percent of power to both axles.

looks like the idea of a genius

nice mod, but the pictures are much to big. 800x600 is the maximum size in this forum. please think to the people which have a slow internet connection. or have you never had a 56K modem?

only my unimog and some ideas.

a differential between the rear axles? have you seen this on a truck in real life?

hm, no i think 4 Kg per axle should be enough, but the frontaxle must be stronger, it must hold the whole Cab alone.

there is only one way to find out if it is strong enough.

youtube flickr Brickshelf my blog (in german and in a cryogenic sleep)

the cross Axles, the links or the whole axle?

i hope it will be not to big. The scale is 1/10 so it should fit to some of the supercars. The width is 255mm (32 studs), regulated by the cab which i choose, it will be 320-380mm high. The length will be between 800 and 1200mm if i make a big 8109. iam be exitedly if it is possible to make it full rc with all the things which i want do.

i have my stickers
