Looking for our best solution in suspension set up and drive train, to give a system able in winnig model’s heavy weight (3,5 KG) and technic gears friction, I realized in collaboration with my friend Fabio this MAN 33-414. Front steering axle equipped by Ackerman correction, two rear axles with indipendent suspension system and a simple reduction ratio 8th:24th+8th:24th+8th:24th make the vehicle able to obtain a good performance in velocity and in the max angled steer, also RCX , actually used mainly as receiver for Lego IR control unit, support line-following function. Pneumatic function about overturnable cabin (note the large opening angle) supported by external compressor unit similar to our Actros cement mixer: General image: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31818 Chassis: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31827 Cabin: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31820 Pneumatics: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31822 Performance: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=31821 Another little step on our big work zone technic figure scale !!!

		Re: MAN in ...blue
(...) pinions used for the tipping is great. The suspension for the two rear axles is interesting. I noticed that the rotation point for the support arms (the two sets of 1x7 liftarms) is not concentric with the rotation point of the 24t crown gear (...)

		Re: MAN in ...blue
This is great. Looking at all the mechanics, it seems like it functions really well. What a great Truck! I also like the Pneumo tilt on the front cabin. The RCX fit in just nice and is well hidden. Very nice work! e (URL) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-03, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)
