Paul B Technic

That was part of the reason why I decided to build them, something a bit different. I have some ideas for a couple of different ones. I am just lacking time and pieces at the moment :(

Thanks for sharing this, good to see all the new Technic sets.

Now that is a set I would buy :)

Thanks for the reply. I am planning on breaking down some sets to get some more pieces to improve these. I will have a look at the steering too.

Some photos of this truck and the other two members of my LEGO Technic rubbish truck fleet.

I have just uploaded some photos of my LEGO Technic rubbish truck collection to my blog.

I posted my latest MOC to my blog :)

The trailer is a good idea. I might build one for mine when I get it.

http://paulstechnic....n-roll-off.html Following on from my last two MOCs which were both rubbish trucks: (http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/p/mod-lego-technic-9395-b-model-wheel-bin.html) (http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/p/moc-rubbish-truck-with-rear-binlifter.html) I have now built another LEGO Technic rubbish truck to add to my fleet, this is a MOC I designed and built from scratch, a LEGO Technic roll on roll off rubbish truck. This MOC is based on a type of rubbish truck which I see in use here in Australia, they are used at building sites and business for the removal of large and bulky items such as building materials and general rubbish. As the bin rolls on and off the back of the truck it is left on site to be loaded while the truck can be used for other work, the truck then returns when the bin is full to take it away to be emptied. In my case this is designed for carrying bulky goods (Tyres) This MOC has a number of features, these include: - Fake V4 engine connected to the rear wheels via a diff. - Hand of God (HOG) steering via the black knob on the back of the cabin roof. - Opening cabin doors. - Mechanism for loading and unloading the bin. This is controlled via the handle on the side of the chassis. I have spent about 27 hours researching, designing and building this MOC, I watched a number of videos on YouTube of this type of truck to get ideas for this and how it should work. With the bin loaded on the back the truck is 40cm long, 16cm wide and 19cm high. Due to the simple nature of the mechanism I have not included Power Functions. My LEGO Technic rubbish truck fleet continues to grow and I have already started some planning for my next one. The only issue I had with building this was that when I built the bin and tried to lift it I had too much free play in lifting setup, the bin would get a little off the ground and then drop. I had to pull this to pieces and add some extra beams and pin to reinforce it, now it lifts with no problems. My original plan was to make the cabin tilt forward however when I started building this I decided due to the position of the engine in the centre of the chassis that this was not needed. Overall I am happy with how this has turned out, it fits in well with the rest of my rubbish truck fleet and I quite enjoyed the design and building process. Photos: EDITED - Added new / better photos.

Very nice mod :)

Now that is very cool, I love seeing practical builds like this :)

That looks amazing, I can't wait to see it in action.

Thanks for sharing that, looks good.

This is a very good looking MOC, the colour scheme works really well for it.

Those model team sets look really good.

Very nicely done :)

Thank you, my next MOC is along the same lines but with some key differences.

These are both amazing, well done.

Thanks, that is a very cool video.

Thanks for the feedback, I will keep that in mind for my next MOC :)

With my new focus / obsession on rubbish trucks I am planning on build a few more of these this year, maybe get a fleet of them.

You are making really good progress with this and I am really enjoying keeping up to date with what you are doing with it :)

Nicely done, I can't wait to get this set :)

My table is also white :)

Thanks. I agree :)
