About this creation

My dump truck is built with the pieces of 8479 - Barcode Multi Set (got last Cristmas) and a third touch sensor.

It has got an articulated-frame steering AND a normal gear rack steering at front axle, a suspension at the rear axle and the actuation at the middle axle by a new style 9V motor. The motor cant the cargo platform too.

It is controled by the CodePilot.

That is REALLY cool ... it looks complicated, but fun to build ... and i had no idea Lego made an electronic sound system ... it really sounds like a diesel engine ! ... i wish i had alot of technic parts and pieces.
