    Perhaps this combination of gear and gear rack can help you?

    Upper line (above headlights) could be one plate width thinner so it could fit. You just have yo play a bit with vareus plates and half pins... Unfortunately I dont have spare pates and slopes (what I have are on my Fastrac prototype) to make it and post here... As I see plate behind headlights is 4 studs tall, perhaps you can use 2 plates, one 2 and anotber 1 studs wide (to gain 3 studs height..

    You can use pins and technic brick just below frame, or even better you can use plate modified with hole on both side https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2817#T=C

    One question: could this part be more useful at the front?

    So far I have managed to integrate PF servo on each axle, use coupled XL motors for drive and L motors for front and rear PTO. In the middle of chassis, there is a 11 x 7 frame to hold rechargible battery box. Later, I'll install tires to see steering angle and to tweek front and rear. Bonnet and roof are remaining from previus iterations as you can see on those (moderate quality) pictures below:

    I remember that; dominates red color makes us think it is (from) another set... Hm...ao it means when I finish my (yellow) Fastrac, I should switch ho makong something red?

    I understand why you choose light bluish gray frame. It us funny to tow firefigthing airplane; my idea is that this yruck could be part of team together with firefigthing aitlrplane, offroad vehicles for woods inspection etc...

    It looks very good; as it is made as kind of combination with this year fire plane. Just one question - you probably don't have Cat dozer to put yellow 5 x 7 frames in rear part of cab?

    Or have wheels from 42158 - NASA Mars Rover Perseverance?

    I think now is better.

    Somehow I have a feeling that PF Servo could hit the ground when suspension is compressed
  12. 1gor
    Is there place to put 5 x7 frame in the middle to make it stronger (like rear chassis part in 42070 set)?
  13. 1gor
    It looks very good, perhaps due to photografic angle it looks like crane is a bit to big?

    Pitty that (if there will be no change) Lego decided to nake small Deere Forage Harvester; since original 9700 has 84.6"(aproximately 2150mm) tires at the front and 64.6" (aproximately 1650mm) at the rear it would fit Xerion scale perfectly woth 107mm tires at ftont and 81mm at rear...

    If their information on upcoming sets published earlier years was true, then we could relay on that.
  16. 1gor
    Yes @Jundis they look cartoonish and far from realistic.
  17. 1gor
    Yes, that scale crossed my mind
  18. 1gor
    Perhaps you could put gear rack above gear...

    That sounds interesting 42167 Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck - 503 pcs - $34.99 42168 John Deere 9700 Forage Harvester - 559 pcs - $42.99 If true, Mack LR would be made with smaller tires than 49.5 a d Deere would have max. 81mm tractor tires at front and 56 at rear; something like shortened 8274; we will see when the time is right...

    For front suspension ylu can perhaps use those steering arms: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15459&idColor=86#T=C&C=86 If there is no space for 5 studs; there is this steering hub: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32495c01&idColor=11#T=C&C=11 Perhaps you can use gears from this set https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=42140-1 to replace bevel gears.

    Great alternative; the only thing that could be better is that it is able to fly

    Currently I'm building additional chassis to use 2 PF servos on axles... like your latest model I use XL motor(s - coupled) with upgearing 40 to 24 tooth and new differentials from Ferrari Daytona. At the end there are reduction hubs. I have found out that older 40 tooth to 24 tooth has significantly less friction than 36 to 28 bevels. When I finish this bare chassis as planned, modules with left and right stairs would just be detached from older and attached to new chassis

    Extraordinary beautiful MOC I like to see another MOC using PF XL motor for drive.

    @Thirdwigg there will be complications with front chassis part because of battery box below bonnet, but I wanted sturdy model. I'll see if Xerion solution with upside down small linear actuator will be to big, worm gear solution will be used The only thing that causes me a headachse are PF Servo(s); after a while the wheels get missaligned due to universal and CV joints usage (they are a bit loose) and if I install Servo on bith axles, there is no space for pto shafts...

    Front axle and place for battery are finished (and very sturdy). Front axle has one stud suspension travel, so I think becayse it us a tractor (and not range rover) it is acceptable.
