Good job. I like the red cab better but that might just be because of you cant see the depht of the black cab in pictures your suspension looks great compact and sturdy. Do you have any problems going backwards? cause everytime i try to do a tatra suspension i can never get the angle right

Nice truck. Seems like youve fitted a lot of features for such a short wheelbase much better use of space than my mocs

Nice truck i like the style of body mixed with beams and axles

Thanks, i did put differentials on the rear here are more pics http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=527652 and i didnt put more wheels because i dont have more wheels the same color

Thanks to everybody ive been out of building for 2 years but ive visit this forum before i dont plan to buy any more parts soon with the linear actuators i actually have more problems with the gears cause the motor will stall or the gears slip before their internal clutch would slip and i may be tempted to build another hook lift but with a better working jib for more weight sometime

Based on 2013 Volvo FH16 6x4 its equiepted with ampliroll or hook lift system [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx8kawBn1Io[/media] Features: 1 M motor for steering 1 XL motor for drive 1 M motor and 1 linear actuator for the sliding/locking mechanism 2 Recievers 1 Standard battery pack 1 Flat bed 1 Wood log carrier 1 Open dump body? (i dont know how to call it) And openable doors Some more info: It uses 2 linear actuators for the jib but in order to make it work i needed to get more range so i used 2 tipper scissor style mechanisms to achive it. The sliding/locking mechanism uses a 12t to 24t because the jib flexes at the middle and its only got 2 fixed points this also means that it can only be powered when the jib is in the lower position something that real trucks use to prevent the jib from being accidentaly disengaged when its at the tipping position which could cause damage cause the body would fall down. The rear pendular suspension is achived by meshing a 12t to 20t gear so that they can rotate at the mesh (this is something i saw Zblj do in his videos) Things that can be improved: The rear chasis flexes cause it only uses 2 beams at the rear where the wheels are connected The linear actuators are too slow specially the sliding cause it uses a worm gear but i didnt have more room for other thing Since i build it i was told that in the real ones the 2 parts of the jib when they are in the hook position the jib has a contac point and then both of them move together so that the lenght of the point where it pivots to the point of the hook changes to have more power in the initial part of the lift http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=527652

Im 20 years old from Peru and am studing mechatronics engineering. I got into technic 4 years ago but i always find it hard to find time to keep building constantly and when i do have time, i realize ive forgotten most of the parts ive got and how to use them. the first time i found this forum was when someone posted a moc i did of an mercedes actros for trial truck in here and since then i did 2 more mocs and then i moved to another house and didnt have a place or time until now. Ive realized that taking pictures and writing about my mocs is very useful for remembering the mechanisms solutions and use of the parts. So Hello!
