  1. Nice, looks simple (but doesn't mean, that it is)
  2. Building model of something, it is good to start with scaling. For particular thing, i would be nice to have some suspension, so smallest tires could not fit. For some smaller model, also, some specific (smaller) suspension parts could be needed. Then, according to scale, You can place tires, and see, what could fit between them. Sometimes, for some model of something real, I start with putting some panels together, to see, what is possible, what size it would become. But all this comes with experience. It's something like, for a student to ask some skilled arhitect - where to begin? It is hard to explain, because it depends on case.
  3. It will become "un-stable-r" No, maybe in summer, don't know which :) Also still didn't bought more boxes with drawers.
  4. You could "cut" yellow axle, but not that red.
  5. Visual design was not main goal, but I like those spare tires, but cabin could be better, I just made some cabin, so there is something.
  6. Final functionality: HOG steering (central spare tire) Risable rear axle (closer to front), with locking to not rise or lower too much (some stud travel) Gearbox, to switch between HOG steering and axle rising function (switching with left spare tire) Side outriggeers with lock function Rear outriggers Crane (on turntable, riseble) Rear axle swinging (independent on each side) Openable cabin rised axle
  7. You could try to connect mechanisms somehow to battery switch, only You need there some flywheel or something with inertia. Or with pneumatics, something like this
  8. I'm afraid that pure Lego solution other, than using old differential isn't possible. Maybe somehow rerout side by side two axles, then center with u-joints, but it seems, that it will become pretty long solution. Also, if you not use those clutch gears and things like that, they allow to turn turntable, without affecting that drive etc. If everything is fixed, of course, turning turntable will somehow turn also output.
  9. I put one gear at one worm gear and two gears after second worm gear (both worm gears on same axle), then angles are different. Maybe, if gears are between both wormgears (as in this moc), it is possible to align, it seems so. Have to try.
  10. then we need also more realistic gentelman figure
  11. @mocbuild101 yes, but cross section may be not enough for longer cables, and voltage drop could be significant.
  12. Very good! I really like smaller things with functionality. Does outriggers extend at the same angle? I'm also struggling now with outrigger for my tow truck, and tryed something similar, but outrigers extended at different angles (because of different initial angles for gears, when two are put together)
  13. Disasamble one You have, and put some wire, as long as You need, between those connectors. For longer cables look also for something thicker (with bigger cross section)
  14. So far so good. Some first version of outriggers (it lock in extended position)
  15. I see that, You didn't made outriggers. I can't figure out, how to make them. That's the biggest challenge left. Maybe I'll skip them ...
  16. I wrote it in first post - the HOG thing will be for steering and for lifting rear axle. Thank You all for good words!
  17. You could try to make something like this in the front
  18. This will be really huge thing. Somehow came to my mind, that this would some kind good space machine for other planets.
  19. Got 8270 together with some other sets and parts. Got idea, how to use crane part from 8270. Main idea is tow truck. First chassis to make it more interesting, I made liftable axle other two wheels on each side can also swing started yesterday in the evening. Had good progress today built up crane/lifter part also made gearbox, the same HOG thing will be used for steering and for lifting rear axle I think, there will be "europe" type cabin. I won't fit nice longnose on that gearbox.
