Ok, now it is starting to look like something...

Somebody would probably disagree that this is a truck since it is not
constructed like most trucks are made. This is a free fantasy creation of a
truck like I want to make it :)

suchs trucks)

It going to have 6 wheel drive or maybe 8 wheel, I'll deside that later, but
it whould for sure have all wheel drive and independet suspension on all
wheels. It whould hav a crane and maybe a tipper.
I will try to build in electrical motors, some hydraullic pistons and an RCX
unit to controll the beast.
Maybe one RCX is going to not enough. But I've only got one at the time...

the design. After the page has been moderated you can see some photos of the
real thing. And get the Ldraw file if you like.
It can fold up real compact like this;

looks very interresting!! I liked the sulution for the crane, and how to fold it together. You can use 2 cylinders to make it longer. I cam mail you a hint later today. Will have to make a picture first! regards "Øyvind Steinnes" (...) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic)

Looks like everyone is making custom trucks. :) Your design so far looks great and quite superior to mine; I like the differential assembly used in the front, as it seems that it would save a few studs of space between the wheels. Are those the (...) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic)
