8110 Unimog U400 - RC MOC

Based on the design of jb70 - MOC 3286, colour adjusted to black/ blue, the Unimog MOC differs in parts from the original one from jb70.

Only the Unimog has over 2,700 parts inclusive of the crane with grapple and winch + snowplough with over 400 parts (wider and higher) + 2x pneumatic digger accessories, (alltoghether over 3.300 parts + extra parts and the four original tires with rims).

All parts are original Lego, (with the exception of the tires, which have the same diameter, but are wider, pneumatic hoses were partly replaced).

Drive and steering are remote controlled, all other functions are manually controlled power functions.

Can climb a slope of 65 degrees using the small gear, (according to jb70).

Additions/ Accessories:

·       Choose between two gears (slow, but a lot of torque or faster)

·       Tipper bed can be tipped in three directions, (back, left and right, based on the idea of  jb70, who was inspired by eurobricks member Kumbbl (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57543&st=1675#entry1939279), who was inspired by barman and tripletschiee). Thx to eurobricks community for sharing these great ideas!))

·       Two pneumatic pumps 180° offset to distribute the load

·       Pneumatic air-tank on the left (could be seen as a real tank)
