    On later pictures in this topic, model is using motorized LAs.

    Your pics are way too big for forum rules. Several people suggested you to use flickr or bricksafe or any hosting service with resize options. Looking forward to video.

    Here you go! :) Great model, looks really nice! I like the use of the curved panels, it gives the model great rounded shape. I would just replace 2x2 yellow round bricks on top of the linear actuators with same parts, just in DBG color. I think it would match better.

    I am amazed how this truck drives. I know its a flat and hard surface, but still. It has a problem when it steers, though, It looks like motors are struggling, maybe because two front steerable axles are not making proportional steer lock? It looks like they steer lock is the same. Overall, as i said few times in this topic, marvelous truck, both visually and technically!

    Of course :) With two servos for two compact valves, and one M motor with 1 or 2 blue pumps.

    I would suggest then to move that pair of gears in front of the 5x7 box, reinforce it from both front and back (cos thats causing grinding), and to add another 20 teeth gear inside the 5x7 box that will power the diff. This is easy in theory, it remains to be seen in practice.

    Awesome!

    Ok, update: As pointed before, this machine is modelteam outside, inside technic. Scale is big enough (1:13) but still giving me hard time as everything inside is packed to the roof. This time I worry myself I am going insane, as this is my most accurate model, proportionally, technically and visually wise. I spent numerous hours on computer designing perfectcly scaled and detailed outer shell-body, as this model has only few straight lines, everything else is curved lines, and I wanted to capture them perfectly. Inside of the model, which is not visible, is also modeled to be exact the same as chassis of the real life machine. It drove me insane, too, as I wanted to make it perfect as the outer shell. Everything had to be symmetrical and braced, but bracing had to be kept hidden. Drive is made as simple and strong as possible, and so far it is unbreakable. If the rolling chassis hit the obstacle and stops, XLs either stops, or tracks are spinning in place. Technical goodies also include realistic tracks, copied from Liebherr's pdf. Tracks are suspended, via swing arm, and act as pendular suspension. Drive sprocket is separated and it has its own axle. Also, from technical aspect, i am most proud of the tracks mounting points. Four main (of six) connections (tracks to body) is done via small turntables, so they had very secured position and drive axles passing through has no losses from frictions, as there is none. I am most proud on the body of the loader. Functionality is also considered, and I will try to have at least seven openable doors and panels Also, news about longer pneumatics are icing on the cake, After they come to the market, I will make conversion to them. I will post pictures and videos of the finished model around 10th of February.

    If it is grinding at any stage of the building, its not good. All the gears should be braced so that car hit the wall, either motors should stop, or tires should continue spinning. Which gears are grinding?

    Hmm something is not right here...it has wheels! :) Nice start of another loader. Did all motor fit inside already?
  11. Milan
    I posted that info today two pages back.
  12. Milan
    At first I thought that first number means number of pieces included in the set.
  13. Milan
    Wow, one of the biggest model in the contest! Nice progress. How heavy is it?
  14. Milan
    I am too afraid that they will bend too much, but I would love to have them. Also, just imagine what would 2 or more wifes do to them! :)
  15. Milan
    No. According to text, it will be pendular. If it was live axles, truck would be able to swing borth up and down and to sides.

    It looks like Mercedes has suspension, kinda... Huw wrote this as a comment on TechnicBricks, hope it is okay to post here, if not I will edit. The pump cylinder looked much the same as the old ones from what I could tell from the box. It may well be a new size and if so would be a 1/5 in the new nomenclature. I'm not sure if the rack housing was used for the outriggers (of which there are two), it's possible. The four front wheels steer proportionately and the rear pair of axles seemed to be connected as a bogie, mounted in the centre. At least that's as much as I could tell when I lifted up the front to gauge its weight. So, not suspension per se but the body can be rocked side-to-side on them. OK, so the crawler lattice boom might not be 1m in length but it was certainly long and impressive. The fire plane is a single propeller driven sea plane with two floats, much like this one http://www.zenithair.com/stolch701/7-photo-floats06.html .It was predominately white with red accents and stickers. The ailerons moved and I suspect the tail flap did too but I didn't witness that. Size-wise I'd say it was about the same as 8836 Sky Ranger.

    V2 Receiver is certainly better at providing more freedom regarding thermal shutdowns, but your best bet is to try. I guess your model will be driver exclusively on flat and hard surface, so V1 receivers protection wont kick in.
  18. Milan
    For that one battery box will be more than enough, trust me! And you can connect two Ls on a single output of Receiver. Philo's page is indeed the best source for information available.
  19. Milan
    Really strange. 11L cylinder would bend too much if it is only 1 stud wide. But it would be nice to have them.
  20. Milan
    Looking forward! :)

    You dont need diff between motors. If both Ferrari and 42039 are somewhere similar weight, and you are satisfied with Ferrari performance using this setup, then I would say this is ok. As JGW said, Madoca is using similar setup, and car is working great. Although, you wont get that smooth acceleration and deceleration with regular gears.

    That is why I said that I would wait for a better photo...cos I cant see from the picture what is going on with the 24t gear. Well, someone will say that it is okay, some will say its not, I would say its not. That 24 gear is just out of place. I say dont drop the steering wheel function, better try to hide that gear with more interior work, like panel, dashboard...
  23. Milan
    Probably the best forklift on this contest so far! I would wait until you make better photos with detailed views of the inside of the cabin, back section...
  24. Milan
    Well, he said that he did measurements and that with these wheels the truck should be 25 studs wide. If that is correct, his model is ok.
  25. Milan
    I hope so! And I hope that everybody else who is building tracked loaders will finish them, so we could have proper battle :)
