Terrascout

Terrascout 8x8

Mobile Geological Research Laboratory "Terrascout" is a mobile complex for cross-country eight-wheel all-wheel drive chassis to perform the tasks of geological exploration in remote places. The crew - 4 people - a driver, a senior geologist, drilling rig operator, technician-geologist.

Specifications:

2 large battery box
1 small battery box
2 Infrared receiver
2 Infrared receiver V2
4 L motors to the drive wheels
1 Servo motor on the steering
1 M motor to the drive motor winch
1 M motor to the drive lifting / lowering the boom
1 M motor to the drive outriggers
1 M motor to the drive borax
1 M motor to the drive mechanism for lifting / lowering of the drill

The model uses modified chassis 9398 bridges, tied at one servomotor. Shock absorbers replaced by shortened to reduce stroke suspension and transferred to 1 stud, for the stability of the body. The total weight of the model - 4.8 kg. Model out netrialnoy, lowering less than in 9398 crawler, weight and dimensions of the model (in the stowed position: length - 95 studs, width - 23 studs, height - 35 studs) have a significant impact on the movement of cross-country off-road painting and lubricate Differentials (promised myself not to put them, but still stuck, I do not know why). On a flat surface with small solid obstacles Terrascout jumps to cheer. The main functionality of the model lies in the drilling boom that has two positions - working and marching. Himself drill on the boom - removable for possible extension for drilling deep wells. Cab Terrascout divided into two zones - the driver's cab and the remote control rig with laboratory equipment.

Airfield Tug (Tractor tug)

Hello evrybody! I want to share my project: Airfield Tug.

The idea to build something like this was the result of reflections on special equipment. But habitual excavators and cranes is not something that interested me, I wanted something unique. So it was decided to build the airfield tug. This is a very unusual car. They can be found only at airports or cargo terminals that require towing heavy loads. On public roads meet these monsters are unlikely to succeed.

Fresia SP 300

Schopf F396C

Studying their characteristics, concluded that the chassis must be AWD, lift cabin, steering on each axis should be individualized. And of course the mission is to be a big downgrade and maximum motorization. It took about a month to design and build the chassis.

In this project I used a linear dynamic range at all stages of construction, it saves a lot of time building. It is a pity that in this program there is still no L motor and servo motor, so you have to use dummies. And in renderers and did give them up.I hope Lego Group in the near future to fix it

Drive circuit jacks and chassis

I spent a lot of time designing the virtual to work out the basic parts and components and make a model similar to the original and recognizable.

And that's what happened in reality

Technical details:

During construction, I tried to repeat the most functional airfield tractor Schopf 300 series. The model has four-wheel drive with differential, steering each axis is independent. The front compartment is equipped with a lift. Also installed in the vehicle 4 along the perimeter of the jack as the original.

Weight - 2 kg

Number of pieces - 1800

Dimensions (L / W / H) 62/19/14 stud

Technical characteristics:

2xL engine two-seater in the drive;

2xServo steering on each axis;

1xL engine - lift / drop the front of the cab;

1xL engine to drive the four jacks (Powered by PF switch);

2xIR receiver V2

Large battery box

LEDs in the headlights

As a bonus, a little sketches on the theme of aviation
