    We'll see once we can have the set on our desks, won't we?

    I reinforce all axles with half bushes.

    Also, arocs seems to have the correct caster angle :)

    Ah, the trilex wheel system. I love the looks of the trilex rims on old trucks. Makes them look so tough.

    The inline 6 is the most common engine type in trucks, whether european or american, followed by the v8.

    The only european pickup, that i can think of at the moment, currently being produced, is the VW Amarok.

    Not necessarily crack, but cold temperatures would make them leak,

    I run my engines on 8 bar, and have run them on 10 bars aswell.

    As stated before, trucks do not have independent suspension. It makes no sense in a truck. Yeah, but only Tatras do. :)

    The unimog and 9398 have the same suspension type. The Arocs has trailing arm live axle in the front and in the rear maybe a sort of tandem axle, where the two wheels pivot around a central point and the shock absorbers at each end replace the leaf springs, like in this example (that's how the real life arocs rear suspension is done):

    I think that the length of the shaft is small enough, that torsional oscilation is negligeble.

    Those are not CV joints, but universal joints.

    The setup of the real thing is like in the picture below. It's a live axle setup. The type of spring/axle guidance that is used can vary, but it'll always be a solid axle, unless it's a tatra :)

    Trucks don't have independent rear suspension. That would be grossly too expensive and too complicated and serve no real puprose.

    The speed is basically regulated by how small the air inlet hole is. The big cylinders have a tiny inlet hole, so that air enters slowly and mimics hydraulics. The small ones have the same size hole, but there's a much smaller volume of air to fill, thus they move much quicker. Also, the seals are smaller and offer less friction. The cylinder on the right is how the stock inlet hole looks like from the inside:

    The video confirms the turntable, that is a bigger version of the 28 tooth one. I love this.

    Could be that they're not both simple liftarms. One of them could be this part: Or something else entirely. I'm pretty sure there's a reason.

    The truck is also missing the drivers side rear view mirror setup, if anyone noticed So it's clearly a building mistake. I can imagine this happening, because the models are assembled very hastily and there's no time to check this stuff.

    It's part 14720 Technic, Liftarm 3 X 5 Perpendicular H-Shape Thick. I have several of them here.

    Also... 9. Possible brakes ?
  21. nicjasno
    This looks to be superior in every way.

    The old half bushings with the crown teeth were cracking like crazy. Almost all of mine are cracked.

    6. Full suspension 7. Tilting cabin 8. Opening cabin doors
  24. nicjasno
    I'll fix all the suspension flaws and make a video of it on lpepower, once i can get my hands on the set, so don't you worry. :)

    What i also belive is that the two halves of the new turntable snap together like the small 28 tooth turntable, meaning, that they grab at the outer edges and not in the middle. This makes the turntable much more stable for cranes and stuff like that. This way constructions will not wobble anymore. And i will get better wheel bearings for the mustang (hehehehe)
