Thank you very much! If 42054 had more pieces, I could have done both those things. I originally had planned to have a walkway behind the cabin like the real ones do. Well, I'm going on vacation for a week- so it will take some time... but I look forward to it! This is the final update. The C model is done. The video will be posted here tomorrow or Monday. For now, here are some pictures: I also added some lights for effect. Tell me if you like them. More pictures tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who stuck with me throughout this project! I had tons of fun building it! BrickbyBrickTechnic -
Well, 1st you make an account. Then you go under "mocs" and click "submit moc". Then you are guided through the process and that's it!

[WIP] Volvo EC750E
BrickbyBrickTechnic replied to cloud's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I would love a video of the CVT! Very innovative. -
I think around 400-500. I will take a picture of them.
-
I actually think the front looks nice. I do not like how flimsy it is. All in all, this is a nice set, if anything. On those who potentially buy sets for parts would be truly disappointed.
-
So, It seems like some people want 1 hood and some people want the other. So, I propose a mix of the 2 (pic below) This way it's covered up and has some nice flow. Aaaaand that brings us to the spraying arms. I decided to go with diagonal beams as @schraubedrin suggested, but I kept the beams close together as many others did suggest. If the hood and arms are acceptable, I will pronounce the MOC as finished and shoot the video so I can get it out on time. Thanks to everyone for sticking along with the project. BrickbyBrickTechnic

Sorry about that didn't mean to minimod.

Somehow based on rating, this is the best set of 2017!
-
Beautiful suspension system, it's something I would have never thought of

This will be the last update before completion. Please give suggestions you have in the next 24-ish hours. This is also a double update! Lots has been done. I have 2 hood concepts. which is better? They are in the 2 pics below: I personally prefer the second one because the first one has too much red. Tell me which you like and I will keep that one. There's a discreet on/off switch for the BB shown right beside the cabin: (It's the grey connector) As well, the spraying arms are finished but look a tad crude overall. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be helpful. When fully extended, they are 79 studs in length, appropriately, I would say. So that's all. Suggestions are more than welcome and certainly wanted. Thank you. BrickbyBrickTechnic

Please don't quote the entire post.

I could definitely try that! I'll post some pics in a few hours.
-
That's a really good idea- this vehicle specifically is the most fun build I have done to date!
-
It's a truly awesome set. Better than the 42070 anyway I will be making instructions for this.
-
I could try that! Well this is a C model, I'm using neither.
-
That will be my last resort: There is supposed to be lots of ground clearance. That's where it is right now. Let me post a picture to give some context. For all those wanting to help, first of all, thank you. Second, here's the current position of the BB which is causing problems:
-
The functions will both be to deploy the sprayer arms. The BB is already placed where you suggest, but this does not balance the weight.
-
UPDATE TIME! This is the second last update before completion, and it is tremendous. Several things have been added/edited: -Gearbox with shifter -Chassis made less wide as @eric trax suggested (effects only visible with wheels on) -near completion of bodywork There is one big problem: the model is very front-heavy with the battery box being on the front, so the model struggles to roll forward. HELP WANTED. Here are the pictures: (Sorry for the change of background, white background pics tomorrow) Rebuilt chassis. However, there is one problem depicted above: sometimes when steering, the black crossblock attached to the wheel mount hits the grey 1x3 crossblock, thus impairing the steering and making the vehicle skid. Any suggestions on how to fix that? More updates soon! The project is nearing completion. Thanks! BrickbyBirkcTechnic
-
Very nice! The second one looks better than the official pullback sets!
-
What did we learn?
-
I have brought the wheel hubs more to the inside, thus bring down the width by 2 studs as @eric trax suggested (this applies to when the wheels are on). You are building one too? Awesome! Is there a WIP thread? No tandem axles for this MOC (unfortunately). I'll post more pictures first thing tomorrow. Thanks.
-
I think it's because of the differential (an axle couldn't go over it) and the gearbox which is right over the center of the model.
-
I will do it! Let's see how it turns out!
-
First of all, thanks alot! Second, the beams had even started bending at 1 point only a bit though so I guess it's alright.
-
I could try that... it may mean ripping apart the chassis but that's ok ;)
