NEW LEGO VOLVO EXCAVATOR 2020 MOC
Flybum replied to Flybum's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I am still testing this moc. Lego Technic allows you to do the same thing in very different ways, and I like to find the best one. So I'm gonna take some time to perfect it. For the moment I've made the instructions for the less common aspects. I definitely want to give the instructions for the whole thing, but it depends on my free time. Please be patient, and any suggestions for improvement are welcome.- 80 replies

I bought the Liebherr Lego 42100 because I was attracted by the new engines and hubs. But I recognized in the comments that I see in this post the same points that I wanted to improve: great new bluetooth technology, but the mechanics are very simplified. The model remained on my shelf a few weeks, then I disassembled it and I built a moc with the mechanics I expected: all the motors in the turntable, subtractor for the movement of the tracks without symmetry problems and tracks with tensioner. If you are interested there is a post here.

NEW LEGO VOLVO EXCAVATOR 2020 MOC

Thanks Subtractor: no, if it were inside the rotating platform you would have an asymmetrical guide for the tracks, because you need two concentric axes that go down. So for me it's better: two motors in the rotating platform, one axis for the main motor and the other concentric for the subtractor. Sorry, I am not allowed to upload more than 0.1MB for now The tensioner is made from a 6.5 L Technic shock absorber with normal spring. The track axis with tensioner is movable on a slide inside the track cover I don't use the lego app because I prefer to use a controller with the physical stick instead of the touch controls on the phone. So I use Brickcontroller2, a beautiful Android app. It allows you to connect for example an XBox controller and all lego engines, even the old ones 829/5000- 80 replies

Thanks Actually weighs 3.8 kg and came a little bigger than the Liebherr Lego 42100. You can see the real dimensions in the picture I am not allowed to upload more than 0.1 MB, maybe because I am a new member here- 80 replies

I made this MOC after building the Liebherr 42100. I don't know if the real Liebherr has two motors connected directly to each track as in the Lego model. But I wanted a more common solution, with all the engines inside the rotating platform. And not two engines, but only a main engine that moves both tracks and a second engine that moves the subtractor. Thank you Yes I used many pieces of the Liebherr 42100. Four of the long actuators, which are more robust and practical than the old ones. Also all seven engines and two Liebherr hubs. Added "MOC" to the title, thanks- 80 replies
