Nice review. The MTT is one of my favorite vehicles although I don't like that its smaller now

Thanks for the links Yea I totally get what you're saying. I think I found a good linkage but i still have to weight test it

Alright well i tried out Cumulonimbus's linkage and Zblj's linkage Here's my rendition of Zblij's This has a nice angle of tip However the problem is here as it cannot fold up at all I tried adding a 4 axle to the LA to try and solve that but it wouldn't change Onto the other linkage This one also has an excellent angle for the tip But it too suffers the same fate of not closing So what should i try next? Also thank you everyone who's helped so far I'm really sorry but I just started MOCing and I don't know what I'm doing One of my earlier designs had two acuators and it changed nothing

Alright so I replaced the clutch gear in my second design and it lifts the bed with a bit a struggling. I'm going to try cumulonimbus's design in a little while and see how it goes. I also like Zblj's mechanism but I would have to redesign the entire middle section for the move of the motor and the acuator Thanks for the help guys

Yea that does sound true I'll try that next

For some reason that link doesnt work I'm guessing its to Zbljs dump truck? http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=79396 I was thinking of trying that too I thought only newer acuators had that. Didn't they revise them after the 8043?

After reading Blakbird's review I decided it was a good idea to tear down my 9396 and make it into this and I must say it is one of Lego's best B models

Yep i had no idea dump trucks were this complex EDIT: I positioned the acuator as low as I could on the chassis, but it barely made a difference and it is still unable to lift the bed. Here are some pics The gears lead into two u joints which are connected to the acuator. The acuator is connected to 2 5x3 liftarms which are connected to the chassis Heres another pic. Sorry for the quality I kinda rushed these as I was taking them with my phone. You can sort of make out the 5x3 liftarm its red and right above the axle. The lifting angle was obviously gonna be affected and I'm fine with that right now. Also as of now the rear of the chassis flexes a bit due to weight so I can't add in a second acuator as it would take away some of the support. So does anyone have any pics or ideas for a lego linkage mechanism like jorgeopesi and Cumulonimbus mentioned? Thanks Rishab (OT but this is based off the lego 8258 and as of now its about 30 percent 8258 and 70 percent MOC. So would that be considered a MOC?)

Thanks guys before i try any special linkages( I'm still a really novice builder ) I'll try D3K and hypo's solution of changing the angle More pics will be uploaded today

Isn't that red truck in the first picture 2legoornot2legos US truck T7? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=481221 Does that mean there are going to be instructions for that one too?

Great ideas. They're very fun to watch too

Great review I think this is one of Jurgen's best models

Wow this model is stunning. I also just found it on rebrickable a little while back

Hi guys Currently I'm building a large dump truck, but I'm having some trouble with the lifting mechanism. Its not even able to lift the dump bed. As of now i'm using this set up Its an Xl motor geared down twice and then connected to the acuator. The Xl is connected to the axle connected to the 8 tooth gear. Also the axles for the 8 tooth and the grey gear are completely different Here's another pic of my set up ( You can also see the dump bed in the background So my question is how do I make the acuator strong enough to lift at least 1 kg or more? Should I change the positioning or the gearing?

This is a great MOC! A must build for me

Oh wow thats even cooler that you managed to integrate that

I like this model Lego should make a garbage truck like this or bigger

I like the 42024 price. So is lego sending the Volvo at the right time to the States? I thought it was going to be delayed due to the first half sets being delayed

Looks great

Cute little model

Great MOC! That must be a lot of trans blue parts

That's pretty cool! I like the custom sticker

Ok thanks anyway Sorry I like to lurk here more than i post Edit: How active do I have to be to receive this tag? I really do love Star Wars

Oh that F40 is amazing too . Its just that my dream car IRL is the pagani huarya

I feel like model team is a studded model with a technic chassis and technic solutions for the functions
