About this creation

Here I have extended the chassis and added a third axle, this axle has a lift function on it, at the moment it is manually lifted/lowered by the knob at the back of the truck via a worm gear, It is not really correct as it is a trailing arm set up, it might get modified again at a later date, and also maybe I might try and connect it up to the PF gearbox.

Quoting Mobi x Can you advise how easy it is to use the motor to drive the whole truck itself?

I do not know, you will have to put a extra motor in near the back axle for drive(there is enough room) and also a motor in the cab for steering the truck.

Quoting David Luders At Kenneth Rattledge: If you added additional wheels to lengthen the Reddish-Brown "logs" (and take advantage of your MOC's longer log crib), do you think that the Linear Actuators have enough strength to lift them? What is the maximum log length do you think the LAs could handle?

I have not tried yet, as I have not got any other logs/wheels yet to make some more logs, will let you know when this happens.
