I'vae already seen RH400 in Lego but the level of detail here is impressive. Great works -
In fact my commander is almost complete and I should be able to finish it this week when back home, so i will only post the final MOC. It is just a test for the tri-axle system (Here) so no big machinery inside.
-
It’s a nice compact and unusual vehicle. The snow blower is not very powerfull, but nothing is very powerfull when made of Lego
-
I’m not sure the position of your engine is correct but your cabin is really great. (yep I’m still working on my commander an the cabin is not perfect)
-
A mobile crane or truck with crane may not have the pick&carry capability, these truck however are built for that. Heavy load in movement without counterwieght. Correction, Some mobile crane cane pick&carry, for example the Liebherr LTC 1045 or equivalent compact mobile crane from other manufacturer.
-
For sure the extension of the boom is really slow, but add some gear was not compatible with my wish to have the smallest telescopic boom possible (4stud wide x 5 stud height) Yes, the real AT-4 has a Mercedes engine installed angled. I'm not able to find any image but it is slightly visible in the video at 0:54
-
From my point of view the 3 axle are a matter of weight distribution on road. The AT-40 is apparently equipped with a rear suspension that allows the 3rd axle to be raised to reduce ground friction and so increase manoeuvrability.

The AT-40 is a pick and carry crane built by Terex Australia . It’s a 6×6 articulated truck launched in 2016, equipped with a four-sections telescopic boom extensible up to 30m and has a maximal load capacity of 40t or 20t under hook. You can find here the link to the technical description of the truck, and a video. The MOC. I love RC Lego model, but this time it is a fully manual truck. The full album is available on FLickR. Steering. The truck is articulated and controlled through a Hand of God (HoG). The steering wheel is linked to the gear and is so functionnal. Engine. The truck is equipped with a fake engine inspired from the Mack Anthem and linked to the 2nd axle. Fan and engine are accessible by opening the radiator and the rear hood. The Crane. The boom is supported by two linear actuator operator from both side behind the cabin. It is telescopic through a worm gear and can extend up to 25 studs. A tooth gear installed on a friction pin avoid the cable to move. Some details. The truck is fitted with rear and head light, a registration plate (the 60th anniversary beam), rear access ladders, and a minimalistic cabin with two seats plus the steering wheel. The Video Thank you for reading :) All the other MOC on https://superk-technic.com

I'm still waiting to get the Mack, but with the Chiron and the rough terrain crane it is no longer my priority. By the way, I have seen the leaked picture of the 42082. Am I the only one to think that the set become "bigger and bigger" not "better and better"? I have been a bit disapointed by the All-terrain-tow-truck and the poor level of complexity inside, soooo the enormous crane... well I'm afraid there will be a lot of void inside.

Technic 2018 Set Discussion
Superkoala replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I was supposed to save money for marriage next year. THANK YOU LEGO. I just can’t wait to see the final product now. -
Great, some Foremost. Gook luck. I juste started a Commander C Tri-axle.

Aesthetics and Technics
Superkoala replied to Didumos69's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
As a guy who spent hours in engineering lesson, I prefer to look at the technical aspect inside a MOC instead of its looks. Just have a look at my last creation it easy to understand. I prefer to built system instead of a good looking vehicle. But to catch up the discussion, I do not like to make WIP topic, firstly because I do not spend enought time on my Lego to be able to present evolution. And secondly because my MOC after all are quite simple. -
I don’t really understand the technical advantage of having a dual steering system on a tractor instead of a all wheel steer one with different modes. But You did your creation perfectly, I’m curious too see the final result, good continuation :)
-
There is a lot of « Top 10 », « Best thing ever » or « MOST SHOCKING FOOTAGE OF A MAN EATING A COOKIE » channel that uses only parts of videoand link the original video in the description (the annotations are no longer available). In my opinion this is a good way for discovering builder or other. It’s almost a good thing.
-
In real life I think it would be easier for a manufacturer to use two third party telescopic/foldable crane like a Palfinger or Fassi one, piloted simultaneously. Edit : Found this as example , the Lorini Muletrax 2500
-
Thank you all for your comments :) I tried the LiPo battery but it wasn't really easy to install. Each crane "arm" has itsown winch, on the frst try I used only one long cable with a winch in the center of the vehicle, but there was too much pulley to install so I decided to simplfy the assembly. I didn't really asked myself during the building process if it would be better to use track or wheel. In fact I was supposed to build a pipe layer, so on tracks. And I agree with the limitation to one pipe. So I took a note one my 2018 to-do list and I probably will come with an improved version (I just can't decied if I build a truck, a crane, or this first )

Today I present you the Dual-crane Pipe Transporter, a vehicle that came directly out of my mind. I mean, in my remain, I never seen a +real+ vehicle like this one. This kind of vehicle could actually been used on construction site of oilfield for the transport, the tracks allow a low ground pressure and good traction so it is suitable for every environment. The full review with all images are avialble at superk-technic.com/pipetransporter. I based the design of the Transporter on two vehicles from my Idea collection. The lateral reach stacker Meclift ML5016SR (on my to-do list for 2018) and a classical side loading container trainer similar to what has been released in the Mack Anthem 42078 set. The Dual Crane Pipe Transporter is a tracked vehicle equipped with a large flatbed to transport pipe of long loads, a dual articulated crane, 4 outriggers, a sliding cabin for improved view and a counterweight. The Power functions elements used in this MOC: 2 PF-L for propulsion (1 per track) 1 PF-M for the crane main structure w/ linear actuator 1 PF-M for crane articulation w/ mini linear actuator 1 PF-M for outriggers w/ 1 mini-LA per outrigger 1 PF-M for winches 1 battery box used as counterweight Plus 2 SBricks Bluetooth controllers. Thank you for reading.

Liebherr LR 11000
Superkoala replied to Dawid_Szmandra's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is one of the best creation I ever seen. -
From my point of view, yeah, these thing are really impressive, bu Lego tires are large enough, even too big, for most of the people that don't usually build MOC. I understand that make a 2m long truck is great, but only fiew AFOL can do such a thing, there is no need to commercialize bigger tyre that what already exist
-
Fish eye is a problem, and I don't like it either. But if you check the spec of the Gopro some of them are able to change the Filed of View (the Black series can, I don' know for the others)
-
For the film, depending what type of view i want to do (and which one has some battery ) I can use either: My old Nikon D3200 with a 18-55mm (I use to make some photography as a hobby years ago): great quality to film in HD, but no autofocus. It is still a little expensive even in 2nd hand, but an older reflex able to film n HD could be found in your budget. My old gopro Hero 3+ Black: it is small enough to fit in some MOC, setting can be adjust to have a narrow field of view (90° instead of 127°). Quality is "acceptable". On eBay or another site you can find one (or a Hero Session which is even smaller) for a reasonable price. An Iphone 7: perfect for very short videos, good quality of image and stabilisation. But don't buy one only to film Lego, it isn't what we can call cheap :) A Nikon P900: my backup solution when the other Nikon has no battery. Typically it has the sensor from a compact, so the image quality for movie isn't great particularly in low light. It's a good camera for plane and bird but not for indoor film. Just for information, I use Gopro Studio to assemble the movie. Not the best but simple to use and enough for my videos.

Thank you @Ivan_M for your answer. I will try to re generate the instructions from LDD and see what i can do. According to LDD there is 1752 parts in it, plus two string not modelized. And also I did not included the platform shown in the video.
-
A quick upate on this topic. I have almost finished to update the LDD file and created an alternative version with Power-function IR component instead of a Sbrick. But now I'm totally blocked on the creation of the instructions (yes it's my first time). I tried to use the LDD integrated tool, LDraw/Lpub, Blueprint, Lego Instruction Creator, but i always have issues. The model have a lot of missing parts or the instructions are a complete mess with no logic in the building steps. If any of can can provide me an assistance on this problem i would be really appreciate
-
I'm not able to make instructions, but I can published the LDD when ready. Unfortunately not before christmas I think, there is some system to be corrected, for example the CV-joint for the propulsion always disassebled so it has to be solved and I don't have much time due to the end-of-year-amount-of-work.
-
Thank you all for your feedback ! Actually, I have some re-work to make on te LLD file because I had to change some assembly that currently do not work. So i'll do taht and share it later. I did make a smaller yellow version of this truck yes, but I have been able to find more precise information on the real truck after so I restart the build to a larger scale to make a more realistic vehicle.
