Remote Control Garbage Truck

[whitepen]

This is an older MOC that I made a month or two ago. It is a full rc front loader garbage truck. Power Functions are:

1x AA Battery box (for power)

2x IR receiver (for control) 

1x M-motor (for steering)

1x XL-motor(for drive)

2x L-motor (for front fork and rear crusher

Nice build! Have you made use of rubber bands for return-to-center steering, or is it just normally controlled via the M motor?

I think he uses small linear actuator for steering powered by M-motor

Perhaps he could make reduction from XL motor 12-20 tooth and raise motor by 2 studs...

Correct! Sometime I will make a updated edition with drive reduction and better braced gears

Impressive for such small scale. And I was hoping to make Mack LR in 1:18 scale (62.4 tires and 17 studs wide) with features like yours (just with suspension and...) and you made this even smaller.

Thanks! That sounds like a great MOC idea. There are not many technic garbage trucks.

Yes, but time doesn't want to stand still for some reason not familiar to me
