I figured something different now, securing the connector wasn’t an option because the turning radius would be like an oil tanker, the steering works fine now

The problem is that a connector slides of the axle so something I can’t change. I’ll try figuring out a different solution.

Sorry for the massive bump, but I thought this was the best tread to post my question. Is there a way to put the power of the motor calibration lower? Because my L-motor tears the steering system apart...

I’ve seen the series Highway through Hell about Tow trucks in Canada. They often use two winches. For example, when a truck is in the ditch on his side, with a trailer attached, they use one winch for the trailer and one for the truck. Or they need to pull the front of a truck up while they also need to tilt it. So, in summary, they use two winches for either two objects to tow simultanously or two different directions of movement.

The part that the original model uses at the front of the bonnet, the 2x2 slope (the one you use too) is maybe a better alternative if you put it on the 1x6 technic brick, because if I’m honest, this version is ugly.

Maybe its also changed on the inside, e.g. with a position encoder so that it can act like a servo

That’s great to hear, thank you for telling!

Maybe the Tow Truck will get them? Btw, which set is this?

You could also use that yellow 1x4 half beam to connect the pieces at the front

I do not totally agree with you @Igor1. I think if you don’t own 42124 it is difficult to built this, but if you do, and you want to build a MOC, but you don’t know how to build a chassis, this is great i think

Didn’t know about that thread, thank you!

I can imagine...

Great model! I’ve watched that shooting mechanism over and over and still don’t fully understand how it works...

Hello, The idea to build an Iveco X-way out of 42078 parts came to my mind after seeing Mcd_Technic’s Iveco on Rebrickable. Since a X-way is an hybrid between on and off road, I want to built pendular axles, to support the ‘off-road feel’, but I also want to use parts only from the Mack Anthem, cause I don't have many loose parts (and no springs...) in my collection. So, I need to build a pendular axle. The rear axles i can manage, that's not too difficult. But the front axle needs steering. All the pendular steering axles I've seen use the steering shaft as the pivot axle, but I don't have a steering shaft. So, I need to built an pendular axle, with steering, but without a steering rack. I know it's a bit overcomplicated, but I want it Btw, I created a seperate topic for this question, but now I realize that it’s better to ask it here. Maybe @Jim or @Milan can delete/close my topic? I’m sorry if I cause any frustrations for this...

Great progress now! The engine looks cool, and who cares if it fits in such a futuristic vehicle?

Come on, this set isn’t that bad. Yes it’s very expensive, and yes there are better looking MOCs out there, but still it is a decent looking trial truck, with new tractor tires, and remote controlled, so I don’t see why beeing so harsh. Critisism is ok, but this is overdone.

Great idea to add some functions! However, I don’t like the placement of the fake engine. To far to the back and too deep in the chassis IMO.

Fun idea! Like it!

I see on the far most left and the middle axle the small tan gears both on the left, but on the right axle it is on the right. Not sure if it is correct according to the building instructions, but to me it seems that this isn’t right, so maybe try swapping those? and btw, use english, much more people will try to help you I think (not to offend you or anything) and I totally understand that it is difficult to pick up Lego at you’re age, but no worries, if I can help, I will try to, and I’m sure a lot more people here on EB will.

@Wilm112 As @emielroumen already stated: check the differentials. The big driving rings should alternate between the sides, like this: —__—__— , so you have the driving ring swapped each time. Btw, it would help if you could upload a picture?

Hoi ik ben ook Nederlands. Schrijf je bericht in het Engels want de meeste mensen hier komen uit andere landen en spreken geen Nederlands . Je kan bijvoorbeeld Google Translate gebruiken.

@anyUser aah, ok. Looking good so far!

Are you keeping that big yellow brick or is that just temporary, cause I think it would look better without it

Well it was also the goal to built it in modern technic and i think that if this kind of set would be in technic it would be this scale. And after all, the contest is about having fun, isn't it?
