MOD - 42024 Container Truck Full RC

[Chilekesh]

Hi everyone,

Here's my modification of Lego Technic 42024 Container Truck set. In addition to original functions (steering, outriggers and container lifting) it has:
- 6x4 driving,
- 90° tilting of the driver's cabin,
- Working & tilting steering wheel,
- Fake V8 engine (working),
- Led lights,

and is completely remote controlled.

I used:
- 1 L-motor for 6x4 driving
- 1 Servo motor for steering
- 1 M-motor for outriggers
- 1 M-motor for lifting the container
- 1 M-motor for tilting the cabin
- 1 rechargeable battery box
- 3 IR receivers
- 1 set of led lights
- 1 x 20 cm extension cable

Any suggestions on improvements are very welcome.

Cheers and happy building!

WOW!!! I don't think it is necessarily beautiful, but it sure is impressive how you squeezed it all in there...in such a tiny model! Excellent...

Yeah, it is a very tight fit, and no room to hide the receivers and battery, short of gutting the driver's cabin, which I did not want to do. I tried to make them less of an annoyance with colors and tiles, and this is the best I could do. Of course I'm open to suggestions for improvement.

I didn't know, that in small truck you can put a lot of PF. The functions in this original set are very slow
