The hubs work well with the weight, but the mounting is not as great. I used a similar solution like yours with the 42000 hubs, so sometimes the bottom mount jumps loose. Regarding the video, unfortunately the only space I got which is camera friendly is not drivable As you can see in the pictures, the floor is covered with carpets. Too lumpy and soft for this heavy truck Not much to show anyway, the truck drives slowly and it can turn, the trailers got support legs and can be coupled and decoupled remotely.

Just to clear it up a bit, the rear fenders are 26cm, the cab is 25cm. Which is about right at the back of the cab, but the problem is I built it square where the real cab is narrower in the front. I agree with it looking slightly out of proportion, I think it's partly because of above reason, and partly because of the low roof. I modeled it after the P-low sleeper cab instead of the more common P-normal.

Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you like it. With this scale I felt it had to have full suspension, though the front suspension is pretty stiff and move less than a half stud partly About the batteryboxes, my first thought was to hide them in the cab, but then I saw that empty space between the axles. The two outermost BBs are empty and the inner are split, one for drive and steer, the other got fifth wheel and lights.

The idea of building a large semi truck has been in my head for a long time, but I haven't had enough parts to realize it until recently. When Sheepo posted his Peterbilt, it finally spurred me to gather the parts needed to go ahead and build it. I've always liked Volvo and Scania trucks because they are Swedish and are most common here I chose to make a Scania because they have lots of reference material on their homepage. I don't have the skills to fill it with gearboxes, brakes and air suspension, like Sheepo, so I had to make it more exiting in another way. I made a steered rear axle and a fairly accurate steering linkage like on a real Scania. But still it didn't feel enough, something was missing. A trailer was required. But then I thought, why be satisfied with one trailer? Why not make two and make it a b-train It is IR-controlled, not only driving and steering, but also fifth wheel on the truck and the first trailer and support legs on both trailers. The fifth wheel i got from Sheepo's Peterbilt. Let's go ahead with the pictures: Front view Rear view Here you can see the twinsteer in action And the required underside view Truck and trailers parked next to each other All connected Lastly a picture of the truck with my black 8070 just for size reference. Some dimesions Truck: Length: 63cm, Width: 26cm, Height: 26cm (33cm with roof spoiler), Wheelbase: 41cm, Weight: 4,1kg Link-trailer: Length: 100cm, Width: 25cm, Height ~36cm, Cargo area: Length 74cm, Width: 25cm, Height: 21cm Semi-trailer: Length: 122cm, Width: 26cm, Height ~37cm Total rig length: 233cm Lots of space needed to drive it around I've made some LDD-files of the truck and trailers, you can find them and all pictures in my brickshelf folder (once it's moderated). I hope to make a video tomorrow, got too dark to make it tonight. Comments and criticism are welcome. Becs

The dimensions of the truck is about 60 studs long, 23 wide and 33 high. With the trailer it is 114 studs long.

Thanks for comments. It was a little challenge making the extended cab in yellow, I didn't have enough parts so i had to redesign the body a bit. I've got a video uploaded to youtube, search for "Lego technic volvo c202"

Hi. I have been reading this forum for some time. I have been awed and inspired by many builders here. I've built lots of mocs and mods, both mine and others, but have never felt like it was worth posting until now. Last year I built a moc of a Volvo C202. I was happy with how it looked, but it was lacking in performance. So I went at it again last month. This time I upped the challenge, a working pto-powered trailer was to be built. This is my creation: It is built on a modified version of effermans Mercedes G chassis. The pto is connected to the drive via a remote controlled gearbox. So when no drive on trailer is needed it's easy to switch it off. Comments and questions are welcome. /Becs
