@rocklego As you noticed Lego is made only with ABS plastic so the frame bend itself. First axle is under high stress and driving only bend it more. Curiosity: My MAZ was posted onto The Car Lego Blog: http://thelegocarblog.com/tag/maz/

Looks quite nice. I would change mirrors because in this scale they are to big especialy this piece:to something that is smaller. And you should definitly add the whole interior!

@Zblj, of course it is possible to add suspension but at this moment I don't have that much specific parts to build independent suspension (this type appears in real vehicle and would fit to my creation perfectly). @rocklego, in front there is a little bit truss structure because without this chassis won't be stable. The whole frame is rigid to such an extent that 4th wheel almost don't touch the ground. So frame bend at all, not only in front.

@aqaz Good method but I was doing it in different way. So as everyone knows (or not ): 1stud = 8mm. My scale is 1:19. For example let's take high dimension: 4100mm. 4100:19 = 215,8mm. 215,8 / 8 = 26,97 studs (so 27). In that calculation my MAZ measures: 184 studs long, 31 wide and 27 high. From first scratches to final model it took me 1 year. Of course I wasn't building all the time, mainly at the weekend but not every. So it was long time... @Erik I'm very curious too . This truck were never used to transport nuclear missiles. On the internet you can find only load which simulated rocket. Steering isn't something genius I agree with that. But after tests where every steerable axle turns under different angle I realize that 4th axle move almost nothing. I decided to connect 3rd and 4th axle together. There are still three different angles so I think it isn't so bad

I'm happy that you like my job . @rocklego: These boxes in original are coolers. In my creation inside "coolers" I hid battery boxes. The weight of each box with batteries is around 400g and that weight is supported by only two liftarms connected to other with 3 pins. That is the reason why black beams are deflecting. I'm sure that few modifications would solve that problem. @timslegos: There are about 4500+ pieces inside MAZ. @bord4kop: These LA's don't exist in real truck. The cabin weight 930g and is forward 36 studs form first axle. The pressure is high and front of chassis is bent. Actuators help cabin to stay paralel to the ground. Without LA's, cabin would be lie on the floor.

Ha, this rocket should fit nice to this vehicle. I was wondering to made something that could simulate rocket but after building MAZ I am out of bricks. About selling my creation, hmmm..... Why not? I have seen few times that AFOLS want to sell own creation and even sometimes someone bought it. But I have to think about for what price I would sell it... Maybe something around 2500$? Is it much?

@DLuders, maybe in the future, but at this moment not . I am a student of Warsaw University of Technology at the faculty of Automotive and Construction Machinery Engineering.

Hello Eurobricks members! First I will introduce myself. My name is Patryk Walerzak and I'm from Poland. I'm 20. I felt in love and started building Technic bricks about 3 years ago. My "building theme" is mainly Technic. This is not my first MOC at all but first on this forum. Some time ago DLuders posted two of my creations - Pneumatic Crane Truck and Asphalt Paver. You enjoyed both of it so I decided to register and introduce my lastest creation myself. It is MAZ 7907, the longest chassis in the world. Truck was designed by Borys L. Shaposhnik and build in 1985 by Minsk Automobile Plant but idea to make that kind of vehicle comes from Russia. MAZ was designed to carry intercontinental missiles but were never used for this purpose. The size of truck is impressive. Total length over 28 meters, 4.4 m high and 4.1m wide. Weight about 66 tons, gas turbine 1250 HP engine and full 24 wheels propulsion makes this vehicle one of a kind. I decided to build 7907 in 1:19 scale. After recalculating dimentions of my model are: 1476x248x214 mm. It is powered by 2XL motors with reduction and 4 M motors were used to steering system. There are 116 gearwheels in this truck. All electric is powered by two battery boxes. Of course as in original, my model has 24x24 and 8 steering axles. Total weight about 5300g. On the Internet you couldn't find much photos of this truck so I tried to make it the best I could looking at few photos. Below there is a video and gallery.

Hello eurobricks fellows! My name is Patrick and I am 20 yo. I live near Warsaw, capital of my country. I am creating Lego Technic models and two of my MOCs have already been presented by DLuders: The Pneumatic Crane Truck and Asphalt Paver. I am building from about 3 years and I want to do this the best I can :) Greetings one more time! Patrick.
