    As you can see I have started working on boom (had to change setup to L-shape liftarms since technic triangle didn't work )
  2. 1gor
    Looking forward for that.

    @mktechniccreations your Torion is very nice; I'm really sorry if I mist it, but your build it would be valuable to have of it's own topic, so we can enjoy more photos of it.

    When you gear down XL motor it run inconsistent, so you have to gear it up to make it consistent (you are lowering very high torque of XL motor). I don't have experience with BuWizz simply it is way to expensive for me (even rechargeable battery box is to expensive)

    Johannes, somehow I would prefer using PF elements or PU only, can you please show what gearing you use with XL motors; my suggestion upgrade them with 40 to 24 tooth (and use coupled in longitudinal position.; I have tried it transversal on my Fastrac 8330 but didn't work, so I have switched to 2 PF L motors instead; IMHO it could be that only one XL motor will be sufficient - it is not tractor or truck that needs to pull heavier weight) ...and in your case new dark bluish gray pneumatic cylinders will be real blessing Kind regards buddy

    Thank you very much Clive Speaking of Loadall, today afternoon there were few hours available (in shadow since there was 38°C today) and after some recalculations I found out that engine cover should be 2 studs longer (one stud to front and rear), so I have made some adaptations to it as you can see here (sorry for bad photo, but my mobile phone has very limited range of light angle to give nice photos)... ...and I have finished stairs and integrated 2 receivers out of 3 inside...credit to @steph77 and his beautiful excavator that has similar receivers arrangement (Light bluish gray frame is only as reference how high seat should be mounted in comparison to wheelbase line) Glad you like it. Kind regards

    Thank you.

    Easier part is done (battery box placement and hood), next is to see what solution I need for cab...

    JCB Loadall 560-80 overhaul was started today and currently I only managed to make rough chassis construction as you can see here. ...and with mounted tires... Any comments are welcome. Chassis construction (and so far boom) has some similarities with gorgeous Claas scorpion by @eric trax ...only it has 19 studs wheelbase to fit 1:18 scale

    I like pickUp; it something rare

    Thanks buddy

    Well, I was hoping for Bugs Bunny and his legendary "what's up Doc?"

    @jorgeopesi and @Jundis to make a video I would need new equipment which is expensive as used car, so I'll keep building old fashioned way...about features: - drive 2 L motors with 20-28 (central differential) and 12 to 28 reduction (at differentials on axles) - steering 1 servo motor - front pto - m - motor - rear pto - m - motor No fancy things; the only thing that I can improve is to make a bit stiffer part where engine hood is connected to chassis... Gentlemen to be honest this is the first time that I have only 2 complains to my own build - (perhaps) not stiff enough connection point between front and middle chassis part and missing 94mm tractor tires.

    Thank you; it is developed from 4220 model that I made in 1:15 scale. I needed about 6 month for bonnet on 1:15 JCB Fastrac 4220 but for this one only one morning (it is cooler in the morning) ...and for this one first disappointment was that Zetros tires were only 35mm thin (I was hoping for 38mm to fill them with 81.6 balloon tire and stretch over wheel 56 x 34 to gain bigger diameter). So I needed to think how to stretch Zetros tire to (at least 87mm) and only way was to put old 24 x 43 mm tire inside Zetros tire and on wheel racing small.

    Well in US this is tractor truck (with trailer) I had also some fun with (yellow) panels as you can see in my tread
  16. 1gor
    Finally 1:18 JCB Fastrac 8330 is finished, but let pictures speak for themselves...

    Very nice front part solution with panels. This could easily be B model or even original set (even if I like tractors)
  19. 1gor
    Thank you; I would welcome additional 2 dimensions of tractor tires; 68 x 30 and specially 94 x 38 to enable all possible agriculture machinery to be replicated without need to "modify" existing tires.

    It is very easy to slip back in dark age thanks to artificial crises that pop-up every few years. For last project (1:18 Fastrac 8330) I'm waiting for few plates to finish it and then I'll post completed model. Next I'll probably go for telahandler overhaul but first there would be some rest... Not just Lego prices, all prices went from bad to worse thanks to speculators... I hope that despite all complications you are ok, no health problems etc. Kind regards

    Actually it is very cool alternative; interesting is that there is a cab only on superstructure like on 42082 set. Undercarriage reminds me a bit on legendary 8421 set

    Did you expose them to sunlight? I had some yellow turned pale yellow after exposed to sunlight
  23. 1gor
    I thought you could make Torion full RC (it has basically the same functions as 42030 set). Do you plan 1:17 version based on Xerion tires, or 1:23 based on Zetros tires? (I suppose first because of red rims)
  24. 1gor
    I understand you; I should wait much much longer when praising someone; you got that right

    Just wen we thought he growed up a bit
