    Effe, boom is just fine, over the cab like that. Even if you do not extend the chassis. 3rd party strings are allowed. Go for it.

    Quick build! And looking better and better with each update.

    Really nice. How about lifting superstructure up a bit? It looks like it is too close to the rear tires.

    Welcome! Have fun!
  5. Milan
    Nice story! Welcome!

    Hey, that looked really nice. Why don't you enter with your top section? Or make a simple trailer to carry it, like this:

    Thanks! For now each axle has 2x hard shocks and 4x small pneumatic, I agree that it might need additional 2x hard shocks per axle. Thanks! I hope that, too, if there is time and parts :) We had this conversation about big size and wheels on page before: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=115076&st=25#entry2346188 I am just following popular 1:13 scale. Thanks for your input, but having only one steering mode would be a waste, imo. Goal was to have 4 steering modes. While driving the crane normally, only front axle is steered (just like real crane traveling more than 30km/h). I am not sure why you say that crab is not working well...it works perfectly, and I love it. Other two modes are rarely used, but they are implemented, too: Only back wheels steering and all wheel steering for minimum turning radii. (not perfect wheel alignment in these two modes, but it works)

    Looks beautiful. Waiting for a superstructure!

    Hi Samer, no it is not too late. Deadline for posting your entry model is November 1th, 2015. Just follow the rules in the first post of this topic and you will be fine :)

    Thanks! Ohhh, it seems that not so many people like my wheels. I would hate to have to use RC wheels, since they are not Lego, and I really love these brick built ones! At least these wheels give the crane some uniqueness :) I choose LA over pneumatics simply because i wanted the crane to be able to stand on them over some time, and to adjust them individually when on slope, or yard. At first I thought of motorizing them, but when i decided to put adjustable suspension, i occur to me that i can "cheat" by motorize extending of the outriggers, and then simply to lower the suspension until the vehicle is supported by outriggers. So something like this: 1. Crane's suspension is fully lifted. 2. Outriggers are extended 3. Supporting plates-pads are placed under the outrigger's cylinders, but pads needs to be very close to the cylinder 4. Crane's suspension is fully lowered, and wheels should be off the ground, since outrigger's cylinders are now holding the crane, even when cylinders are not extended. So, everything could be remotely done, without touching the model.

    Very nicely finished. Looking forward to see it with cab.

    Very high praise, thanks! Yes, the vehicle is really off the ground. Thats the reason why the chassis is cca 6cm high. Plan is to have crane off the ground even when completed. Yes, lifting the final crane off the ground is the plan :) Actually, outriggers would just extend, crane will then lift its wheels off the ground. But in any case, i will do my best for a crane to be off the ground.

    Due to efficiency, i mounted them directly to the axle. If i get the time until the deadline, I will copy real crane drivetrain - engine back, driveshaft to the back wheels, and driveshaft to the front, space there is already reserved :) Yeah, I thought that too, so i said the wheels are strong enough to support the cranes weight. I put my dumbbell on the chassis and drive it. The wheels are not showing any fatigue. Will show it in next video.

    In this version for the contest, they are driven by 2 L motors, probably via normal remote. In after-the-contest ultimate version, plan is to have 2XL and 4 speed remote controlled gearbox or 3 speed automatic.
  15. Milan
    Dont forget to include few secs of that in the final video!
  16. Milan
    Since we used them before in the contests, yes, it is ok.

    Welcome! I am also avid fan of city building games, starting with Sim City 1 on Amiga, and now Skylines. Also, every GTA completed :)
  18. Milan
    Great photo! Your crane could use some support plates under the cylinders :)
  19. Milan
    Thanks aminnich and Kiwi Builder! Yes, they passed the weight tests. They are very strong and have rigid connection to the axles. Here is some unedited video of chassis, I tried pneumatic suspension, but the crane is still very light, so i will install them once (and if) i finish it completely. Steering is a bit too fast, but I am planning on using speed remote controller (train remote) for smooth and precise steering. Main point is that it has perfect return to center.

    Great ambush. It is really hard to spot it. Nice trees!
  21. Milan
    I wish you all the luck, well maybe better to say patience and effort, to make that second model. I like this one so much! Keep up!
  22. Milan
    Great little town, and thanks for showing your setup.
  23. Milan
    Most impressive. These mosaics are always great to see. Very well done!
  24. Milan
    I agree, too. A bit lower could be better. But how about completely removing upper roof section? It may look the best that way. Real truck really has some thin frame on window's bottom section, just like on this moc. It maybe look better without it, but then the frame would lose straight line,

    I can say this is one of the best creation i have ever seen. Simple, but so complex. It is perfect.
