You meen this one? This trailer is going behind the next truck im building, the new Mercedes Actros that Tamiya released last week

[MoRockN]

Very nice build Actros, I will be doing some sort of build also but not as fancy as yours. Where did you get the orange lights from, the sqaure looking ones on the trailer??
Thanks

That sentence just didn't make sence, but i figured it out. Actually i have no idea how it was to build, i bought it assembled

Can you buy that suspension set-up or did you make it?
Do you believe the pivot point will be strong enough one each set of wheels? For driving it out side (in the dirt)
Some great photos there thanks.

The steering is servo operated, you can se it in picture number four. Now i don't thint you can buy it i don't even now who made it, the guy i bought it from said it is from Robbe but i can't be sure of that, there are now markings on the trailer

Well i have my 18kg/40lb dump truck om it and thats no problem at all. The connection between the lowbed and higer over the wheels on the other hand must be reinforced.



I have the trailer taken appart for now. Making som changes on it, a more powerfull servo, Servonaut IR-transmission for steering and lights and i'm gonna try to make the gooseneck detachable.

A picture with that big steel monster of a dump truck

Wow that is an awesome idea for a multi wheeled steering. That bad boy must turn heads when all those wheels turn lol

[Actros861]

Hehe yes it's a sweet trailer

Couple more pics on the truck now

Cylinders are in place..







Tight fit between suspension and the bolts that holding cylindrs in place.



M20+ is just behind the crane between framerails.



This is what it looks like in the cab for now

[Actros861]

Made a few things today

Pressure gauge, on/off switch and volume control for SMX is in place.





Servo to open and close the VBG.









And the hole thing on the truck.



Steering on fourth axle. Started to put it on to my next projekt, a bit easier doing that on a empty chassi



Servo superglued directly on the axle.





Axle in place again.





I'ts really tight in some places of the truck :P

[Actros861]

Not much done but a little

Prepared hoses for the second valve.

.

Made a simple connection between the shovel and crane with two pieces of brass.

.

Here it is on the crane

No kiddin space it tight in there!!! Holy cow. you have like 10 cylinders in that truck

GREAT WORK!!!
Cant wait to see more!! It just keeps getting better

[Actros861]

Thanks

Yes 10 cylinders, three for the supportlegs, four on the crane, two for the tipper and one on the shovel

Sadly i missing some parts now but im gonna order it very soon. So with a bit of luck this truck can be finnished next wekend
I'm going on a hobbyfair in March 23-24 so i hope it's complete until then

[Actros861]

Or it could be a complete nighmare with 30 functions on 17 chanels operated with a Sanwa SD-10G with two recivers

[Actros861]

so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta question for ya, I recently bought and added the same Veroma transmission and mount to my Wedico. Seems like the transmission has a little too much flex when just hanging off that one mount. Have you had any issues with yours?

Thanks!

[Actros861]

No i can't say i have noticed that problem

[buzzy16]

I really enjoy the evolution of this truck, you have some great ideas and skills.

I do have a question about the crane though, does that bolt straight onto the frame rails of the trucks? I'm considering getting one for a project I'm thinking about.

Thanks buzzy

[Actros861]

Thanks

There is a plate with the kit that pinch around the frame. There is a small problem with this and that is the crane doesn't mount over the supportlegs.



So i did this ugly looking thing. Sadly i don't have better pictures of it and it's really hard to get good one now :P



Sorry for the late reply

[buzzy16]

Ah yes ok I see, thank you for getting back to me, I'm in no rush to get one at this point in time.

Buzzy

Wow, I missed this build back when it was current, but after finding it today, I have to say it's impressive! Lots going on with this truck and the chassis. I'm amazed you were able to fit everything in to make it functional. The cab turned out nice, and did I see that right? A reefer axle for your front steering?
