Effe's MOC Corner
gevans12 replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes very well done, I'd love to see it integrated into the Arocs to see how well it performs on the chassis and with the bed -
I must say this is awesome :) I have built your 6x6 modular truck n that was a good complex n challenging build, but I'm looking forwRd to (hopefully!!) getting instructions for making this beauty to sit alongside the modular truck n the Arocs when I get it at Christmas :)

Efferman's Custom Parts
gevans12 replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Effe, have your tried your new outrigger parts on the Arocs set yet and how well do they look and function in comparison to the current outrigger setup? How would you motorise the larger one? Thanks -
@LennyRhys, nice to se the progress my friend :) As for selling, I'd set yourself up an email specifically for selling the buckets (that way you won't get your personal email spammed with requests), and have the people wanting to buy them email you a request there. From there you can either set up a new PayPal or email people with your PayPal details once you have worked out the costing, and just have everyone send u funds as to friends/family rather than goods/services as you won't lose anything in fees then. Then u just post out the kits when funds are in ur PayPal :)

It's an awesome design, what's the cost to have them manufactured? -
Efferman's Custom Parts

Hi efferman, I saw on one of the arocs threads you were talking about a custom outrigger, is that something you designed yourself? -

would you be making instructions for it? -
42006 Excavator question
gevans12 replied to DarkShadow73's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I tried it using pneumatics but it's not really possible with just the parts in the set alone. I think you would need a large LA in order to open close the bucket as a small one won't have the extension required to make the bucket curl. Plus you will need to rethink how the axle that would normally operate the claw would be positioned as it currently runs through the dipper part of the arm, where as it would need to be at the top of the dipper to activate the LA and cause the bucket to curl (see jurgens Zorex or belt link excavators for examples) -
Why does TLG make B-models?
gevans12 replied to Emmi's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I don't mind the B models, some of them are pretty awesome, but I'm the type of person that builds the A model and displays it/plays with it and hardly if at all ever dismantles them (I will be dismantling a few though to make D3k's 6x6 truck). I just don't have the money to buy a second or third copy of the set to build and display the B model, effectively making it redundant for me at least -
@D3K yes it would appear to be so, I will go out on a limb here and say it is either a challenger 2 or leopard 2, but due to resolution I can't be any more sure
-
If memory serves the indicated piece count is 2793, the highest of any technic set yet. It's guna cost £170 in Britain and yea I think it's around then 230-250 for the US
-
I'm really liking the use of L motors over the M motor, I think it's a good step in the right direction
-
I know dokludi has already done reverse engineer of it from the little pic, but I wonder if he will update it now the video is out?
-
Couldn't agree more! My only "issue/gripe" is this....thank heavens we have new pieces and at last a clamshell grab...but is it me or do the halves of the clamshell look quite small and out of proportion, compared to say the claw pieces that were introduced on 42006?
-
It would appear there are NO LA's on the Arocs, the dump bed is pneumatic...and yes it appears there is suspension too!
