Hi Edwin, I love the level of details of your models Your customers must be very proud! Will you build bigger tugboats, I mean, those towing oil platforms for example? I saw the ALP Defender (or Striker) on YT earlier and think it is awesome: -
This a really cool creation indeed. I wish you best of luck for the contest

You have already done some serious progress . About your issue with the drive axle, why not removing it and put in AWS with different steering mods? Or maybe use some linkages for the steering, as on the #42043? I was working on a LTM too (is it the season? ), but ran out of time. Nevertheless, I came with a compact gearbox for the superstructure that might interest you. Link to the .lxf The boom attachement is just 2 studs too much forward compared to the scaled LTM 1300 6.2. The motor (a L seems to be a good compromise) can be placed on the left side of the superstructure. The bottom winch is for a cable actuator but it can be replaced by gearing for some LAs... It sure needs to be reinforced but I am pretty sure it will not be a hard task. Btw, I am a huge fan of your cranes!

Effe's MOC Corner

Wow, I absolutely love it @efferman! Definitely one of the best looking Sciana in the Web (if not the best) Is it a commission model? -
[MOD] 42036 "Speeder Bike"
grego18f replied to Hod Carrier's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Wow, I like it And swaping the color with the brown makes it match perfectly with the stormtrooper. Like those in the episode 6 with the speeder bikes... -
May I suggest to place the taillights (behind the wheels) higher?
-
You have again done a fantastic job. It is outstanding to see how close you are compared to the real one, at this scale. Really loving your trucks too.
-
This is very nice indeed
-
It turn slowly because I use the 7 speed remote controller. Other than that, it works pretty well!
-
And another C model... I like it very much! It is very difficult to build new with the same parts and you do it perfectly . Keep it up.

So, it is time for the review! A while back, after seeing Ingmar Mack Granite, I thought it could be interesting to try it into TECHNIC. Sadly, I failed miserably…until this year because I succeeded in obtaining a bonnet good enough. The model taken for inspiration is an axle back Granite, the GU813: Of course, I could have done an axle forward one, but it would have been more difficult to put the LED lights and I think the axle back is more representative (from what I saw in Quebec). This truck has a classic configuration but this was intended. Some specifications: - 1/17 scale model - Steering by a Servo motor - Drive by 2 L motors - Working steering wheel - Working fake 6 cylinders engine - Lockable fifth wheel allowing steered trailers - Rear coupling for oversize transport - And obviously opening doors and bonnet Here are some photos taken between two rains: I have not decided to fully detail the functions here as the video looks sufficient to me. But if you want more, let me know There is a digital file. I am sorry if it looks messy but did not figure out how to put some parts together … Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this model! Any advice or comment are welcome
-
Thank you! Thanks! Yep, I will post better photos and will certainly try filming a video. When it is OK with this, there will be a proper description.
-
Wow, thank you very much for the tip I think I am done with the LDD: 1506 parts (without the horns) I'm sorry if it looks messy but everything must be understandable for the build... And someone can try to put all the parts together if he/she wants LDD file
-
Yes, thanks! Sadly, LDD crashes everytime on my computer. I cannot add a single 5x3 beam on the front (as another parts). I tried to reinstall LDD but nothing changed... I don't really understand because the last version of Solidworks runs very well on it... Thank you very much! Comming from a talented car builder like you, it means a lot. I hope to finish my supercar one day About the truck, I tried to be close to the real thing (pretty close to the blueprint I used). Thanks! I try my best in the instruction process. If the LDD isn't a success, i'll break the truck into sub assembly so that it will be easier to understand the build.
-
So LDD is begun... and I have an issue. I don't know how I have created this angle between the frame and the "ground" but this brings me headhaches ... Can someone fix it? thank you LDD file
-
The shape is wery cool indeed! But I would change the red 16t by the regular grey 16t... Because the red ones increase friction.

[CMODEL] 42025 - Sailplane Glider
grego18f replied to J_C's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It is amazing you manage to build a C model this big! And everything seems to work I particulary like the shape of the canopy. -
Anyway, I manage to take some photos. They are quite hard to take (and bad) due to low light exposition (bad weather here in France). Feel free to comment
-
Thanks! Well, there are two L motors for driving (with 12t/20t - 8t/24t) and a servo motor for the steering. The rear suspension allows driving on not so flat surfacse so the playability is pretty good I think (the best RC model I made so far). There are a working steering wheel and a fake engine. The fifth wheel is from @efferman and allows for coupling a steerable trailer. There is also a rear coupling. As there isn't enough light, I will certainly add photos tomorrow. I am terrible at making videos so don't expect it to early
-
Wow, it is very impressive! I never thought a pullback motor could power a clock and even less for 18 minutes
-
Well, I have zero knowledge in making instruction... I will try the LDD file though (or publish photo sequence later if I do not succeed). I don't have any chrome parts . I don't plan to buy some because I am a student and don't have more money for that Nice solution! I will try it some day but not this time because I used the tamdem axles from my Volvo frame (inspired by @efferman): I used this setup because it is the best I have found at the moment. Btw, thank you for your comments! EDIT: Done
-
Yep, this why I have chosen a non-suspended front axle!
-
So the cabin is basically done... All the RC unit is in place, and I have 12 studs between the L motors and the rear wheel archs. I will try to put a simple gearbox. the rear tandem will be the same as the one on my Volvo FH16 project. Here are some pics:
-
As @Erik Leppen mentioned, having a 8 speed gearbox is not that necessary due to the steering mechanism. And I would say 4 speeds are better in comparison with 8 because the difference in gear ratios between the first and the last speed is smaller, causing less friction… The color scheme you have chosen will make the car even more special I look forward to seeing the end result!
-
Well, the 8x4 was not what I planned at the begining. Nevertheless, if I manage to modify the Akermann linkage so that it uses current parts, maybe I will have a look on it Here is how it looks like in 6x4.
