Road train challenge
At first I thought this was a model, but after watching it a few times I realized it's full size.
Does a model exist?, who fancies having a go at building one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6877...eature=related

Re: Road train challenge
Hi Elliot, the closest thing I have seen is Ulrich Kenworth w EasyLoader Roadtrain so you could say it's been built but with the addition of a dolly it would be the same
Have a look at the lego version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOdXM...eature=related Cheers Tracy

Re: Road train challenge
I saw that awhile ago and i swore it was RC to. I think its cause the video is sped up and all the tires are brand new and its very clean that its mistaken as RC lol.
And yes i would love such a trailer but i could imagine the price tag!!

Re: Road train challenge
Hi Tracy,
Wow, how far has lego come on since I was a kid.... I remember playing with technical lego whereby you could build a car, but this has somewhat moved on! Elliot

Re: Road train challenge
I noticed the tractor has "central tire inflation" on the tandem's. Haven't seen that modeled yet. Cheer's, doodlebug.

Re: Road train challenge
Those must be some heavy duty fenders, to use them as ramps like that. On the real rig, I mean.
I wonder what the light weight (tare) on this truck/trailer is? 46,000 lbs? That Lego build of a completely functioning "fold trailer" was Outstanding!

Re: Road train challenge
Hey Lil Giant's, watch the video again,(2:00 minutes) when they show the close up of the tractor tandem's, there are air hose's sticking out from the drive hub's to an arm. They can adjust the tire pressure on the fly! http://auto.howstuffworks.com/self-inflating-tire2.htm Read the CTIS blurb. No offense taken, just seeing the small stuff! Later, doodlebug

Re: Road train challenge
That's alright Elliot, we all overlook what's under our nose at times, I was just teasing, don't let that impair your posting.
Thanx for the info doodlebug. |
