thanks everyone! @Boxerlego - no the non-lego LEDS run off a small watch battery and are controlled with a tiny chip about the size of a 2 x 4 x 2 brick. They are very powerful and easy to work with. tim

Hello all, Although this truck is almost a year old, I have never found the time to post it. This is my first attempt at really following a real prototype and turning it into Lego. When doing research looking for trucks to build, I fell in love with the Titan series from Mack trucks. You get the true "American" truck feel from it. For a trailer, I built a detachable goose-neck trailer which can carry my Tigercat Fellerbuncher (also 1/16 scale). This truck is also my first attempt at realistic rear suspension, in which I borrowed ideas from 2LegoorNot2Lego. As with all of my creations, every feature of the truck is remote control. The truck itself features drive, steering and openable 5th wheel. As for the trailer, it features completely remotely controlled detachment of the hitch. On the hitch itself, it is remotely tilted and raised from the bed of the truck when the trailer is detached. The locking mechanism was strongly borrowed again from 2Legoornot2lego's amazing trailer. I also gave some non-Lego LEDS a try in this truck and they worked great and the battery was small enough to be able to hide it. Overall the truck was a lot of fun to build and drive around, I think the fellerbuncher fits very well as a load. The video has also become one of the most popular on my channel, I hope you enjoy: I would love your critique as a builder. Tim

@Luders I just couldnt pass up such a great deal on those tires! Hopefully they fit well and work with my new truck trial truck! tim

The gopro black edition looks beautiful. how do you like the camera so far? tim

Do you have a link to the tires? tim

Looks like it works well, especially with the wide wheel base. tim

LOL I meant V2. . tim

Looks like it drives very well, especially only being driven by 1 xl motor. Are you using the new V3 receivers tim

Well done as usual dokludi. What are your thoughts on the set? tim

Wow that is certainly a large truck, looks like it functions well too. tim

Warm welcome to Eurobricks! Nice use of those City trusses, they look great in crane form. tim

Both machines look great together. Nice work. tim

I would not advertise your age on the forums (goes against the rules). otherwise nice channel, I subbed. tim

I am very impressed that you managed to fit in all of those recievers. Although it does look like you have some sag in the superstructure. tim

How I wish we had something like this where I live. For the cars that were able to drift, what motor was used? tim

I love the lines of this model. The front grill and bodywork looks boss! tim

I would still like to hear your opinion as well. tim

I would definitly agree. When I first started building large scale models, I only went by memory. Now I try to find a real life copy and print out the specifications and dimensions and scale them down. Now I am able to build much more realistic models with the proper preportions. tim

great review, I didnt realize before how truly awesome this model is! How well does it drive? tim

Im sure if you were to contact TLG they would send you new copies of the motors (then ship the old ones to me..i dont mind the whine ) tim

I love all the white, maybe I should make a white MOC sometime... tim

Masterpieces right there. They look great together. tim

The one stud thick arm looks a little flimsy, maybe you could make a truss system? tim

The bottom skid plate reminds me of many traxxas rc cars (i have a t-maxx 3.3). It looks great so far, could you make a video of it running on those 10 volt batteries? tim

I think a piece like that would be very helpful! (The orange excavator looks awesome too) tim
