Ok, so this is a final version.

Yes you are corect. Thanks for your answer. Lipstic is the only part that conect to axle holes on any angle.

NO NO

Thank you for all the positive feedback. I'm glad you like it. And do you already know why the Lego driver has lipstick?

I started working on this model already in 2018. Initially, it was supposed to be pure Technic but pretty quickly it turned out in such a nice form will not be. So I decided to work on the model team style. In this matter, I had no experience but colleagues helped a bit and succeeded. (Thanks Eric). As for the mechanics, this real vehicle had a very interesting control system. While driving on a hard surface, the engine evenly propelled both tracks and the driver turned the front wheel of the motorcycle. However, in difficult terrain, such a system was not enough. Therefore, after twisting the steering wheel, a special mechanism was activated and braked one of the tracks. And it was the attempt to recreate this solution that turned out to be a dead end. I lost a lot of time trying to develop a strong and small brake, but the PF L motors were still stronger. The classic two-motors tank solution was not an option here, because if you were turning in place, the vehicle would break the front wheel. So I abandoned the work on the model many times every few months, returning to it from time to time. And finally one day I decided to try to replace the brakes with a subtractor coupled with a worm gear. By placing the clutch in front of the gearbox, I was able to smoothly adjust the steering wheel and the subtractor slowed down the tracks slightly. From that point on, and it was about two years ago, I knew it was going to work out. But it still wasn't easy. The housing made of system bricks caused the model to exceed the weight of 1 kg and there were problems with the rigidity of the chassis. I did not want to give up the suspension of the wheels on the torsion rods and therefore the small wheels were not able to keep the tracks in the axis on the corners and these were constantly falling. In addition, the 1 PF L was no longer sufficient for the drive and the model was moving terribly slowly. Eventually, it started to annoy me that I couldn't finish my Kettenkrad and I gave myself time until the end of July 2021 to publish it. Well, it is, I do not know what a miracle is, but I managed to fit the second PF L (basically it's the third) to the drive, under the left foot of the driver but helped to accelerate the model a bit. And the stiffening of the last axis gave the desired effect, the caterpillars stopped falling. The model is made on a scale of 1:8 and quite well lies in the plans, it is only one stud too narrow. In the pictures you can see that on the tracks you can put black plates 1x3 and then it looks better but if you want to ride it you have to take them off. The steering wheel can be stiffened with the wheel but because I wanted to keep the driver then in time to drive you have to release it so on film summers freely. That's it, I invite you to comment. https://bricksafe.com/pages/samolot/kettenkrat

Ok I think I'll take pictures on both types of wheels; old and new. I prefer new, but the old ones are clou this set.

Totally agree

The model is almost finished. I've refined a few details. What do you think of these wheels? I'm just waiting for these four panels in a dark turquoise color.

I started my two buwizz after about 2 months of non-use. Both work that way. I tried to reset the phone . I uninstalled and reinstalled the application. I also tried with another phone. Do you have any idea what to do?

Long time ago I did one also. [MOC] Mercedes Zetros expedition vehicle - LEGO Technic and Model Team - Eurobricks Forums

Wow. Very nice model. Well-solved lifting mechanism of the crane arm. What I don't like is the poor stability of the crane during rotation. When watching a video, I get terribly annoyed by these blackboards with subtitles. The texts displayed under the video are much better. Great C model.

Very clever, i also like when someone find right way to use those bionicle parts.

log grab

Nice work. Could you pleas show us some pictures of details. How do you rotate pneumatic arm ?

Well done

For me now it looks much better. I will leave it like that. Thanks I am waiting for dark turquoise parts. Then i will make some experiments with colours. But i think that turquoise will be nice especialy because it returns to technic colours in last years , small plane and mindsorms. It reminds me also colour used in old soviet planes cocpits . Thanks

No no No

Ok you're right these panels between the wheels had to be replaced. I got a little tired but managed to find a clever way of assembling. As for the seats, I'll wait for the ordered bricks. Then we'll see what we can do in dark turquoise. I changed the roof structure of the cab again. Thanks

Forklift looks great. I would work on a truck. Maybe try to replace the door posts in the truck cabin. From liftarm to conectors. The cabin could also be done a little higher because now it seems too wide.

Thanks. I will make pictures on both, white and silver wheels. Thanks Thanks Thanks, I will try to change collor on photoshop afterwards. I will keep them white Thanks. I am waiting for one bricklink order and then i will do somethink with cocpit interior.

It is not easy on this scale to make nice-looking models. You succeeded. I really like it. If I was to attach to something, Then I do not like the front wheel arches in a yellow tow truck.

While waiting to order from bricklink I took the model in the open air today to take a pair of test shots on other wheels. In recent days, I have strengthened the chassis structure. I made small changes to the cab design.

I really like it. Very original, and interestingly futuristic. Cool rear lights. And the engine cover.

All pneumatics connected and works great. Thanks. And what do you think about such a version of the roof? Thanks. I have prepared an alternative version of the cab longer by one stud and with a different roof. But I have no opinion , does it look better? As for the front lights, I think it's a matter of quality photography, live looks much better. As for the seats in the cabin. This, there is a problem of color and a small number of elements in dark turquoise color. I think these old seats will be such a connecting element with the original model. As for the wheels and tires, I have already selected new wheels but I will present them only at the end of construction. It's a surprise.

Thanks. The model begins to take shape. Of course, these blue seats and panels in the cabin, I will replace the dark turquoise.
