    That one would be very cool even fully RC. Great find.

    There are lots of off highway trucks (like Arocs) using 385/65R22.5 tires that are 390mm wide. Highway trucks tend more and more using low profile tires like 315/60R22.5...but 385s are IMHM more suited with classic trucks Dennis is making

    After long time great 81mm tires for trucks, but if you take a closer look to tire tread it is perfect for front end loaders or mobile cranes or offroad dump trucks... I have 4 of them and I'll probably use them on front end loader

    Perhaps you could use PF rechargible battery box and (lets say) PF Large motor? It is just a guess; when I got rechargible battery box (and with upcoming 94.3 tires) I have solved my 7 years old dilemma.

    Ideal would be 1 studs lower so tou can make bonnet to hide battery box

    Then I'm affraid that looking on side image and based on size of choosen tires, you should move battery box some 3 studs toward axle. You can use this image in sariels scaler based on tire size to make as correct proportions as possible.

    At least something usefull from Audi rims... I also like more compact models, but plan to keep all of them in the same scale; sometimes smaller models are much stiffer; only wonder where you will hide this huge battery box.

    Actually it is self-propelled mower... @Jundis I suppose doesn't have enough space for drive? Real one has huge ammount of hydraulic functions, so let's see what you plan to implement... I'm affraid thay for placing big battery box and make it stiff enough you would have to use 107 x 44 tires and make 1:17 scale model to fit @eric trax machinery lineup

    Now imagine "modernisation" using currently available parts (including frames, panels and Audi tires instead of 24 x 43 tires)...how extraordinary they would be.
  10. 1gor
    Hm, part of building process is out of picture...
  11. 1gor
    Currently working on similar problem...
  12. 1gor
    That is similar approach that I had, only when I started, there were no frames etc to give me desired stiffness. First time I had idea to make John Deere 8 series trac with independent suspension which was utophia at that time (before narrow differential and before narrow universal joints...). I'm glad if I can help, so you want repeat my mistakes (broken parts etc...)
  13. 1gor
    Didn't know that. Thanks for info.

    That Rat Rod is cool indeed; turntable as differential is very original.

    I have this info from local AGCO dealer (I have visited them because I had some questions about Fastracs...). They also have Fendt (rear differential and transmission box as they call it pictured below), Massey Ferguson, Steyr... Shaft pictured in lower left corner goes directly to front differential and dark gray cylinder shaped part in the lower central part of picture acts similar to central differential, but it is not mechanically splitting torque and power, but hydrodrostically, something like white 24 tooth gear with clutch that "slips" when to high rezistance is present...only that real system distributes torque to wheel(s) that have higher redistense (traction). On street (distrybutors say that) trac uses mostly rear wheen drive. I hope that I did't derail your topic too much.

    ...and very very difficult to achieve with LEGO... Kind regards

    When mining dump trucks are about, I have very limited knowledge; usually limited to some Liebherr or CAT models (sometime Terex occured to my mind), but generally they are out of my scale...closest to your models I can get is probably 1:18 scaled Volvo front loader 220 that I plan very long ago based on my 42030 set, but could fix cable issue on XL motor only few months ago and have very turbulent (and chaotic) time last year...

    Real cars have practically same diameter wheels at the front and back, and mostly tractors have some 25% smaller tires at the front, so locking central differential is not used on tractors; they have more hydrostatic torque splitter for front axle (usually rear is directly powered), so locking differential is not the brigthest idea here; real tractors have something like this part (but haven't tested it yet)

    Jorge, before I comment your new baby dump truck, I suggest you to make something like Jorge's technic corner, and ask @Milan to integrate your previous MOCs (and their development) into new tread. Interesting concept with steering. Honestly I never noticed such steering on real machine, but I didn't see everything... kind regards

    No Monster jam trucks this year

    Up to some extent central diffrrential can compensate front wherl overspin, but you have to calculate correlations between front and rear tires and use approximate upgearing or downgearing, Example when combining 81mm and 107mm you have to use 12 to 28 tooth differential at the rear and 20 to 28 tooth differential gear at the front. When compared rear to front tires you get 107/81 ~~ 1.321 relation and closest way to maintain similar speeds on differentials is 20/12 ~~ 1.66. Diffefence between 1.321 and 1.66 can compensate with central differential...

    Something red with blue seat at the top of station has revield the reason you chose this for TC26 It looks cool in technic BTW
  23. 1gor
    That is also a possibility
  24. 1gor
    You can make all in the same line, but make front suspended axle like on Unimog U400 using ball joint...
  25. 1gor
    Probably your colir combination blinded me; another thing - this chasdis will be a tail dragger or sled...tractors have a bit raized rear part and rear axle should be just one stud higher (107 - 81 = 26; 26 / 2 = 13 mm which is 1.625 studs -> 13 / 8)
