It's not a scale model of a real life model, though @nico71 mentioned it looked like a Kraz in the comments of Mahjqa's video and I do see the resemblance. It features the following functions: Drive with a L-motor to the rear axles (no AWD). Steered front axle with a L-motor. M-motor for dumping the load with a LA. All axles have pendular suspension with the front axles using actual springs and and at the rear the 2L rubber liftarms to "dampen" the pendular axles a little bit (idea stolen from this MOC/WIP from Jundis). Movement of these rubbers is limited to prevent tyres rubbing the chassis when an axle is tilted. Working headlights Self locking tailgate from @ludov (I don't know if he came up with it, but I did steal it from him ) (center axle also has a thin white liftarm under the tyre at the rear) The self locking mechanism from Ludov works like this: LBG is the bed, yellow is the chassis and white is the lock. The bed is connected to the chassis at the end of the yellow connector and the lock can tilt 1 stud ahead of that which means that it drops further down than the bed would. Thanks for watching and reading. Hope you like it -
Meet the PuppyTrack compact tracked dumper! No site is too big for this little doggy! PuppyTrack - the smallest dog barks the loudest(TM)! Tipping is carried out by a gear-driven linkage. -
It's been a long time since I posted an MOC... I never finished this model, and needed the parts for something else. So I made an LDD file of what I did build, which I recently rediscovered. It is based off the Arocs dumping bed, but now has 3 suspended axles, all driven. The fenders were extended, and there is an automatic tailgate lock. There were a few parts used in place of others, more details if you follow the link. If anyone wants to use this on their own model, go ahead. Sorry, there are no pics, and it has already been dismantled. Just wanted to make this available for anyone who wanted it or was interested in it. -
Time for another truck, and this one is orange, because orange is awesome. Modeled (kindof) after the current Mercedes Benz Arocs. Features two axles driving a two cylinder fake engine, two steering axle with different ratios, tipper bed, tilting cab, and working doors. More at Thirdwigg.com. -
This is my first dumptruck. Wanted to keep as technics as possible. And at the end it has: - HOG steering with some direction to Ackermann veometry - some fake engine - rear suspension (first time did something bad to my technics parts) - risable truck bed
