  1. Hello! Today I would like to present my first foray into the city theme. This truck started out as a load for a planned train (rolling highway), but I also wanted to know: can I build a trruck that can be driven by remote control? Without hiding the electronics in a Container box.... Yes, I can! The little one is fully roadworthy: 1x Cicuit Cube HUB, 1x Circuit Cube motor as drive motor and 1x CaDa MicroMotor for the steering (here the PF plug had to be exchanged for a Circuit Cube plug, soldering skills helpful). And because it's nicer: front/rear light in the truck ;-) A matching semi-trailer was also built, of course with a prototype. I like the north of Europe, so I often see the semi-trailers of the Freja haulage company and my daughter is also called Freja (only in the German spelling). So it was obvious which haulage company would serve as a role model for me. And the logo was a great snot job: approx. 200 parts per logo.... The trailer has a retractable/extendable pillar, operated by hand via a gear wheel at the front. It's hardly noticeable there and could also be a ventilation detail... I also built a manual version of the truck with “Hand of God” control: no soldering, just drive, no foeign parts required.... .... and with twin tires. I'm still missing them on the RC version and have fallen victim to the lack of space. And because only pictures of moving trucks are boring: I have created a (attention, longer^^) video of the development and with many detailed explanations (but in german, sorry) : have fun watching it: I hope you have as much fun watching the photos / videos and reading here as I had building ;-) Thomas / Ts__
  2. Hi to all, Some time ago I try my hand to remake my favorite childhood set 5580 Highway Rig and I think it's a good start. This moc is based same cabin and hood design but slightly modified chassis. Functions are like original 5580 remake version as suspended axles, steering; Additionally - Chassis is 1 stud higher - Bigger and wider 49.50x20 tires - Winch (ugly, dead simple but it's there) - Back roller thingy Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-237585/Nikolyakov/5580-remake-oilfield-bedwinch-truck/#details Side not: I build original 5580 Remake version physically and all axles and funtions work properly but i did not build this version, I simply tweak on Stud.io so maybe some minor issues are possible like tire rubbing etc. Original 5580 remake version https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/forums/topic/200269-5580-remake Thanks for your time.
  3. Hello everyone, this presentation of a MOC will be a little different from usual ones. Genesis I started this project, right after I finished building the Lego 42177 G500. In the meantime, I learned about an RC car named TRX-4, which was on paper what I was always aiming for with my model - locking differentials, two-speed gearbox, 1:10 scale. I wanted to create a car that has no problem going uphill on a 1st gear, and on 2nd offers decent cruising experience (8-10km/h top speed). I powered it like I usually have with a non-standard motor, this time C2830 brushless motor, and familiar to my readers housing, with planetary reduction (~5:1 geardown). In the middle of designing my model, I took inspiration of the @Zerobricks G500 modification regarding locking rear axle - I modified it, as I was trying to use the same motor for locking rear and front (using pneumatic system) axle. To lock front differentials, I needed to aim for solid axle, and not double-wishbone suspension like with regular Lego G500 version. I took mine from SUV Badlands MOC, and tweaked it a little, so it would offer space under the hood for all the electronics, specially designed in 3d lego-suited housing. My car look from the outside like there is nothing that actually powers it, which give my a warm pat on a shoulder. Features As this model was supposed to be a better version of my other - SUV Badlander, features are very similar Sturdy drivetrain with 2-speed gearbox Remotely lockable both front and rear axles 1:10 scale Utility vehicle - it must be able to climb step hills and also provide decent speed on plain terrain Precise low speed control with good amount of torque Detailed body of Land Rover Defender body, like TRX-4 RC car, to solidify authenticity of the model. I also wanted to have openable doors, driver, seats, etc. Using slightly better C2830 1300kv BL motor (with 3d-printed lego-compatible housing - including geardown) and other RC components to power it (AM32 ESC, and 3s battery) Moving center of mass to front and lowering it down, to prevent flipping over during climbs. Working front and rear lights 2.5 kilograms of weight Suspension The rear axle is more or less the same as in Lego G500. I have modified it, so it has the option of locking differential. The front on the other hand is something I am really proud of, multi-link suspension with positive caster and also locking differential option. By designing the front axle that way, I was able to put all electronic, including the battery just above it, on the front, which was very helpful for rock climbing. The downside of front axle is that it cannot use G500 wheels (due to steering rack system), but on the other hand it is very narrow, and using different wheels is actually beneficial here, as I have achieved the same stud wide axles both on front and rear. Locking mechanism system As you can see from the image above of the rear axle, I have also included some details of the locking differential mechanism. Green geek-servo offers continuous rotation in both directions. To lock the rear differential, there is a series of gears that help navigate to correct location of the shaft locking mechanism. Then, using a combination of 8t and 24t clutch gears, I can flip on and off switch directly above the driving ring. It was kinda tricky to design this, but in the end it works harmlessly. To avoid piling up the amount of geek-servos used in the model, I wanted to have the same green geek-servo to be used for locking front, this time using pneumatic. I did some research and someone years back designed this tricky solution using pneumatic valve (although old one)with worm gear and 8t gear. After fair amount of tests i did it, and I was very happy how it turned out. Though, the front sometimes need more time to get locked. Gearbox and driveline The gearbox was something I was testing for a while. I don't know who actually come up with the initial idea, but the design of it is not 100% mine. 1st gear offers not only more torque, but thanks to the combination of gears, it also locks the central differential, this makes the car actually control remotely locking three differentials. 2nd gear offers more rpm in the system, and opens the central differential to narrow down the stress in the driveline. As you will see in the second image, this amount of motors, multiple systems is kind of enormous, but every system on its own worked as it should. Bodywork I was aiming straight from the start for the old Land Rover Defender 100/110 look. The same one I believe was used in TRX-4 RC version. Bold, big, massive, you could feel power from it. There is nothing much to say here, I was just trying to also have possibility to install lights, which are just converted version of RC lights to Lego Technic system, and keep the look as close as it was possible for me to the original version. Few notes before ending words The model is using non-standard electronics and some custom parts. I know that everyone is not happy with that, but the origin behind each individual mechanism is pure Lego Technic stuff we all love and share. I have also lubricated like I mentioned above all needed parts, and used some custom ones, like small M4x4 snail screws, to hold pin towball 6628 parts. Of what I am not happy about is I cut two 6L axles to 5.2L, I tried using 5.5, but they were too long. I used them for front axle driveshafts to each wheel. On paper, it was not needed, but due to the design it was much better to have it this way (the 5L were constantly disconnected, to outer push). It's a pity, but like I said, I want to be crystal clear how I have made this model. If you want to know more, just ask here, I am willing to share are the tricks and tips I did here. The rest of the story The past 2 months were mostly calm, waiting for firmware upgrade of my AM32 ESC, but this wasn't delivered, and I ended with the old one. The new one would actually don't matter in the end, because at the very end I started to realize I hit a wall. Driveline wasn't working as it should be. I made sure that I reinforce frame, gearbox, everything, but 2.5kg of mass made me realize that plastic elements of driveline are too vulnerable for this model. I do not drive my models like a maniac, I even start with 50% of brushless power. The motor was suited, so it will deliver approximately 3.000 rpm at full throttle, but I was using it at 50%, so 1.500 initial rpm. I started to break things. First few rounds were my issues, which were later solved, but after so many disassembles back and forth of the model, which were taking a lot of time, I began to give up. I lubricate all moving parts, and learned that some shouldn't be lubricated (like driving ring part, where teeth meet teeth of a selected gear). Yesterday, I broke a reinforced CV joint, and Differential clips - I have never broke those before. This situation made me choose to share my journey now with you guys. This all hits me very badly, because I was working on that model for so long, and yet I need to abandon it. All those functionalities, which you don't usually see in every MOC, are tossed away, because of simple weight. This leaves me with an open question to you guys. Have you got into a situation like this, how do you handle this, and what would be your advice to me? Should I forget about some of those functions? Try to minimize exterior look, thus reducing weight, maybe change wheels to smaller diameter? I was even considering trying to build metal driveline, but not all parts comes in metal. Now that I finish the writing, I remember I have tested a modification of G500, which had the same gearbox, driveline (except front axle was original), it only got rear-locking system, and... smaller wheels, less weight(2kg). It got me thinking that maybe aiming for 85-90mm tires in 1:10 scale off-road models is the key (although I don't know if you can tell it 1:10 after switching wheels), combining it with smaller weight 1.5-2kg, maybe it could work. On top of that, I just weighted wheels from this model and original wheels from G500 82vs52 grams less in G500. Here is actually old footage of it performing a decent climb. I have also tested it on a field, no issues. Thanks for reading, if you have any questions or would like to have any other pictures taken I can do this (I have not yet disassembled the model) and have a wonderful day, take care.
  4. Hi to everybody, this is my new Moc, I started building this US Truck about 6 months ago and it was finished to be shown to the MEI 2020, unfortunately, for reasons of force majeure, the MEI is posponed so here we are. It's not based on a specific model, surely Mack from Cars inspired me a lot, and I took some inspirations by pics on the web. I chose to build less sophisticated suspensions, pendular on all axles, to allow a more robust frame (due to a very long wheelbase) and a more robust drivline, it doesn't have U-Joints (still some parts could be damnaged). As almost all my others Moc it's driven by 4 XL PF Motors and steered by a L PF Motors, more precise at low speed. It has 2 M PF Motors to operate the two speed gearbox and the fifth wheel. It has openable hood, behind which there is a detailed Inline-six engine with belt driven alternator and clima compressor. It has openable doors with detailed interiors such amortized seats, bed and various storage compartments. The truck is powered by 2 Buwizz but it's possible to use 2 Li-Po Battery and 2 SBrick. The trailer is designed to fit a Porsche 911RSR, original set N° 49096. It has working legs and rear access ramp powered by a Control+ Hub and 2 XL C+ Motors. I chose to use it because I have one on the shelf and because it's compatible with the BuWizz app, so I can control everything using only a smartphone. The trailer has detailed interiors, the car compartments and the meeting7telemetry room. Moreover I built a tool trolley. Now some numbers: Truck Length: 79,2 cm 99studs Width: 24,8cm 31studs Height: 35,2cm 44studs Weight: 6 kg M PF motor: 2 L PF Motor: 1 XL PF Motor: 4 BuWizz: 2 (or 2 LiPo Battery and 2 SBrick) Trailer Length: 127,2 cm 159studs Width: 24,8cm 31studs Height: 38,4cm 48studs Weight: 8.4 kg XL C+ Motor: Control+ Hub: 1 Truck and Trailer with load: Totalal lenght: 175,2cm 219studs Total weight: 15.9 Kg Here the flickr album: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmMGe99T I hope you enjoy!
  5. Hello every1. I am noob here and this is my first attempt to take a part is such competition. i am AFOL from Russia. my main problem - I can’t finish my Mocs, so I decided to hit goals importAnt for me first of all. 1. Keep building my model to the end 2. try myself in such worldwide competition 3. learn more about building technics i already started my build. It’s gonna be azure hot rod pickup. cause lack of experience it’s not gonna be a model with much details and features. Thx every1 and sorry for bad English. Don’t judge me to hard.
  6. Hi guys and gals, first post here, been following the forum for about 3 years now. Got bitten by the Technic bug with 42046 and here I am today. Recently bought a 42106 for cheap in Bulgaria and after building 42070 earlier the sloped panels got me thinking - there is a truck hood in this. Sooooo, let's make a truck C-model out of 42106! Full size pictures are located here:https://imgur.com/a/wOlijkp The aim of the C model is to be able to tow trailers like the MACK Anthem's one. M Longer inspired me by his 42075 terminal truck. We'll see if I manage to implement it somehow. The chassis is the same from 42106's pickup truck, then reversed a bit. Track has been widened by 2 studs, fenders made wider as well. The rear has dual tires which for the contest will be swapped with a single one just as the front axle. Currently they are a placeholder and proportions tool... I've seen how long the rules topic is so I had to put this text here... Initially it began as the chassis above, trying to figure where to stick the cab: Then after I figured out its placement came time to adjust where the doors would be. Which happen to be the ramps from the trailer. After some further shaping of the fenders and color swaps until it felt right - I got this below. The blue pins protrude for now as everything was just in sketch phase. Makes it easier to disassemble... Final shot of this for now is this: Further will come soon. I hope this qualifies for the contest as it is almost 17 studs high, please let me know if I can enter. If I can't - I'll continue working on the C model aspect of it. Cheers from Bulgaria! p.s. I am entering this C model in the https://thelegocarblog.com/2020/04/30/tlcb-lock-down-b-model-competition/ The finishing touches and updates were made in May, so I hope it qualifies.
  7. These days all we have a lot of free time, excepting the public services, who are working working hard for us. This is an small tribute to all these people. The URO 4x4 is mainly used in Spain by the firefighters, but also for the UME (Military Emergency Unit). I´ve tried to replicate it with Lego Thecnic, but trying to get the closest appearance instead a lot os mechanism. Just suspensions and winch. Even with this, is so heavy! Aprox 3 Kg and more than 60 cm long. Hope you like it! And the original one. Really a big beast!
  8. I am a real fan of Lucio Switch, but I also like to do my own models. This one was based on Lucio 8x8 truck, but adding some personal touch. To be honest is a little bit fake. I run of of pieces and due of this, only one side of the model was completed. The brick consumption of this scale is terrible. I don´t know the exact number of bricks, but must be around 11000. ) electric motors, 4 x power function batteries and 4 x RC controls from the Volvo wheel loader. This model is very good looking, but absolutely senseless. Too big, too heavy and it squirms under its own weight. Next one will be smaller, for sure, but was a nice try.
  9. Hello I'd like to present my small-scale RC semi truck. It has PF Servo, XL motor and sbrick mounted in the cab/frame and the battery is neatly mounted in the trailer that also has a two-stage ramp driven by single L motor and Technic strings. The cables go through the hole in trailer saddle (big turntable) to connect sbrick with battery and ramp motor with sbrick at the back of sleeping cab. Full gallery: https://imgur.com/a/2uPHku There is an alternate configuration for potential standalone/without trailer use: Hope you'll like it :)
  10. Few days ago I discovered lots of my old concepts created in Lego Digital Designer. Fortunately they are working fine in Studio. I only need to make some adjustments. I am proud to introduce to you my first fire truck concept.

  11. Hi,there, mini truck,again;) New body work, off-road truck race,vintage style,such as ZIL Dodge Wagon and KpA3. L motor for propulsion,Servo motor for steering ,9v Lipo battery.Worm gear for power transmission,Similar to the chassis of RC car, lowers the center of gravity, bottom of the frame is smoother. But,you know,lego 8 teeth gear is too soft. Dimensions W/36,L/20,H/22studs More: https://rebrickable.com/users/dpi2000/mocs/ Thanks for watching ;)
  12. EDIT 08/22 - CURRENT STATE : Here is a truck I just made (well, it actually took me several days) while being confined. I don't like to take apart my sets on display to MOC so I had to do with just a bunch of spare part I had, hence the strange color scheme and some questionable building technics and aesthetic choices (for example, I didn't had anything to make the front radiator grill so i had to improvise...) I wanted to make an American style Truck, inspired by the 5571, 5591, 8285 and more recently 42078, and remote controlled so I can have a little fun with it. Please don't be to harsh, this is my first Technic MOC that didn't end at the prototype status. The original goal was to test my new Buwizz but I finally used only original Lego PF element, because I rather use a physical remote than a smartphone. It is powered by a L motor (with the drivetrain as follow : Motor---16T / 16T---20T / differential / 20T--20T / differential) ) and steered with a servo, with a decent speed and a good steering lock. The IR receiver and standard AA battery box are housed in the back of the cab, and the latest can slide up for replacement by tilting the foldable spoiler forward. The spoiler can also be folded all the way down to make the cabin roof flat. The doors can be opened and the hood can be lifted, even though there is no fake engine underneath because that's where I furst intended to put the Buwizz. (Actually there is still enough room for it so I could convert the truck to a Buwizz model and remove all the biggest section of the cab for a more lightweight truck. :-) I could also run an axle under the cabin to the engine compartment and run a fake engine from the exposed 16T gear... A lot of work, thoughts, trial and errors went into the building of this truck, so I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. There is still A LOT room for improvement, but unfortunately I was limited by the parts I had. Almost all of my grey and black liftarms and technic connectors whereused in the process ! I am not entirely satisfied by the roof of the cabin in the IR receiver area, which is a bit messy, and I really wish I had DBG curved panel for the sides instead of LBG ones. And of course, I wish I could replace the ugly black plate at the front with a proper truck grill. I also have to add a fifth wheel, as it is not able to pull anything in this configuration. It should be easy anyway, as I have a lot of mounting option at the rear (the black panel is only there for aesthetic purpose). I just have to figure out something with the parts i have left... In the end I like very much how it turned out though, and I may consider a bricklink order to fix the aforementioned issues once the lock-down is over. In the mean time, any comment and suggestion for improvement is welcome ! :-) EDIT : now with a running fake engine !
  13. Hi! I´m new on EB. This is my first post and i hope I have chosen the right forum. I wanted to show you my project that I also shared on Lego ideas, to get your opinion. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/b111e759-6639-43c9-9991-53515402c6e9/comments_tab#content_nav_tabs Thanks to everyone for the comments that I hope you will leave.

  14. Yes, another C-model of the 42078 set In the last 3 months I enjoyed my spare time in building a C-model of the 42078 Mack Anthem. My truck is an 8x4 flatbed version, with foldable crane behind the cab. I worked a lot on the cab shape, as already mentioned in @grego18f topic, who was building a Volvo FH too! It has opening doors but no tilting cab and no fake engine (I preferred a better looking cab than changing the shape to let the cab tilt). The crane is functional (all functions are manual), knobs are on both sides of the model. Main problem is the absence of the turntable. The crane is quite stable, but of course cannot load heavy loads. You can of course mod it adding a small turntable Outriggers control knob is on the back: I added 2 attachments: fake hook with chains, to move a small container, and forklift to move small pallets. Video: Model consists of around 1500 parts (so you have around 1000 leftover parts - mostly small parts and Lego System bricks). Instructions can be found on rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-34643/technicprojects/volvo-crane-truck Stickers are custom made and could be available for purchase soon. I hope you like it!

  16. I was not happy enough with my previous version so I had to improve it and I think I achieved it. With less pieces, around 1040, it is still RC with better playability due to the servo used for the steering, it has a better rear suspension, it is more modular and less ugly . I already have the instructions but I do not know yet what color use... I hope you like.
  17. After all this time working on the geometry of the lift and tilt, I am finally ready to show this truck. Full gallery here. The truck features (all manual): Steering, HOG Opening Cab Opening Doors Rear Outrigger Rear Skip Hook (for tilt and lift) Lifting Arms V-4 Engine Trailer with Skip Lock Much more at thirdwigg.com. With Trailer Lift Function Enjoy.
  18. In long time built something. Not for real, this is digital build. Something like Unimog 13xx firefighting truck. Frond doors should be openable, maybe also front hood. Rear compartment also is accessible. hopefully right forum section.
  19. This is a prior version of the Greek National Highway Road with a single middle partition
  20. Hello this is my first Truck moc a Tatra Phönix Euro 6 8x8 It has 8x8 drive with a 3 speed linear gearbox which is driven by 2XL Motors ,shiffting via 1M Motor. Steering over a Servo. Dumping via 1L Motor. It has independent suspension on all wheels. The cab is also tiltable. The driving performance is not that great when steering. It can drive over bumps but the model is quite heavy. Some ares a not 100% final like the cabin interior and the dump. Turning radius is terrebil and takes forever. Please let me know your thoughts. .
  21. My dear fellow Eurobricks people, finally, again after a too long while, I managed to prepare something edible (I hope ) out of the finest ABS we all love so much. Let me introduce you my take on Kenworth W900... I’m a bit ashamed to admit, that this MOC was finished already in early 2018 and it took me until now, to prepare the photos and a video of it. This was built for our LUG’s 20th exhibition KockeFest, that took place in March 2018. It was the time when LEGO Technic Mack Anthem came out, so the theme of Technic section of the exhibition was, naturally, "container trucks and container handling machinery" in same scale as the Mack. We agreed on slightly longer containers, because, let’s be honest, the one on the Mack is a bit too short… so here it is… This whole eighteen-wheeler is some 108 studs long (87 cm) and 16 studs wide (13 cm), well the wheels might be getting close to 17 studs. The truck alone is about 50 studs (40 cm) long. The size of the containers, we agreed upon, was 15 x 15 x 37 studs (+1 for the door handles so 38 actually) and they represented 20 ft containers. As you can see from the photos, my semi-trailer could carry 2 of them. I used 1 PF L motor for propulsion and PF servo for steering. Another PF L motor was used for remote fifth wheel lock. It could be powered both with standard PF receivers and LEGO AAA battery boxes or with Buwizz. It was all hidden in the cabin’s sleeper. There was another AAA battery box on the trailer to power PF M motor for the trailer supports. Front axle is not suspended, but uses virtual pivot steering instead. It was the only way to make so tight mudguards above them and although steering angle is not the best, I think it did the job fine enough. Due to the bulky setup of servo and virtual pivot steering, I was a bit lazy under the hood, so there is nothing else there. I guess I could mock up some engine, but the way the hood was attached (it can’t be opened), it felt a bit pointless. There is some unrealistic pendular suspension on both rear axles, but I couldn’t do more on such a thin chassis. I used rubber connectors as dampers. Because the chassis is so slim, it slightly twists when throttle is applied. Here’s how this lady looks topless and below the skirt… There are some minor details in and on the the cabin, the sleeper was, as already mentioned, filled with electronics. Since this is a semi, it needs a fifth wheel, of course. It is remotely locked and I totally took the cream off of the brilliant 6x6 Truck with Tipper Semi Trailer by Pipasseyoyo, with great ratchet design for the lock. Ratchet for the fifth wheel lock below the sleeper… Fifth wheel + hitch/tow ball (I hope that’s what it’s called)... The trailer was built with Technic bricks - studs down and was sturdy enough for the two containers. It had its own receiver and battery box to operate the supports. The two tandem axles were damped with rubber connectors and adapted to the ground really well. Please forgive me for not filming the movement of the two . I hope the photos will suffice. Sexy back… Some posing to conclude... ...and a short video of course… Building instructions are available on HERE for a small fee. Thank you for reading and watching, I hope you like it, Best regards, Miha
  22. I tried to build a transformer vehicle which doesn't include 1x1 handles (26047), 1x1 clips (15712) and 1x1 brackets (36840, 36841)this time. This LEGO MOC contains 19 LEGO lots and 48 total LEGO parts. Transformation stop motion animation : 00:41
  23. Hello! This is my new Moc: a Scania S730 tractor unit, in 1:17 scale. It was built during free time between march and october. It is full RC with an XL motor for driving, and Servo for steering, and a Sbrick to remote control. It has opening doors and detailed interior. On the rear axle there are pneumatic suspensions, controlled with a manual pump at the back of the cab. The model has a "showtruck" look when suspensions are raised: Stickers are self made, printed with different shades of white ink on black vynil. Tyre badges are directly printed. The most challenging part of the model was to create the steps to access the cabin... and the cabin itself! It is 18 studs wide (cab and front bumper), but the roof, on the front, is 17 studs. The wheelarches and sideskirts are 19 studs wide. The cab can be romoved, to access to the battery box. I'm considering put this model on Lego Ideas. I'm not able to make instructions so if somebody would like to build it, they must vote for it! (just joking ) A trailer is also under costruction!
  24. Hello there! American all-wheel drive pickup from GMC. The model is built as a continuation of the Chevy K30 Big Dooley published in 2019. Of the main differences - the muzzle of an earlier generation, a shorter base, the design of the frame and bridges was changed. Planetary hubs and CV joints are used in driveshafts from 42099. Drive - for each axle by L motor. Steering - M motor, Power - BuWizz, a canister with gasoline in the back, spare wheel, shovel and a box of lemonade More photos
  25. Hello everyone! I finally finished my build, made the video, edited the video, aaaannnnnnndddddd..... POSTED THE VIDEO!!! I would like to say thanks so much to everyone who offered advice and critiques throughout the build process. Please read through the build log below for more information about the truck, but for now, please enjoy the video! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started out with a bit of a classical Mad Max-style build... A hot-rod, with an oversized engine, and high suspension... And nice pointy bits sticking out all over the place. It has since morphed into a hot-rod mated with monster truck, sprouting a crane from the middle, on Claas tires and requiring 12 shock absorbers... And its motorized! Photos will come tomorrow with the sun and the good lighting.
