\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A bigger version of the 6927 All-Terrain Vehicle in 1979 design to transport 16x8x8 Space Cargo Units (SCU).<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted to have a kind of all terrain truck to carry 16L SCUs with a system to load and unload the container without extra help. The idea for the loading mechanism was something similar to the dump containers used on contruction sites. I based the design of the vehicle on the classic 6927 All-Terrain Vehicle with some upscaling for the bigger container.<\/p>\n

I seperated the upper frame holding the container from the rest of the vehicle, connecting both with three pairs of Technic levers. Pythagoras’ theorem works with Lego, too. So with a 3L horizontal distance and a 4L vertical distance, the length of the lever (from pivot point to pivot point) had to be 5L.<\/p>\n

I added a pair of bogie suspension arms for the first two wheels on each side for some extra all-terrain capability. The canopy folds up on the front side to give access to\u00a0 the cockpit area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rear left view<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Open the rear end of the lower frame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Drop the container.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Open the rear end of the upper frame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there it is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now close the upper frame…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>… and the lower frame…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>… and there you go…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You can see the bogie suspension arms at work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is my Lego Classic Space SCU All-Terrain Transporter.
\nI hope you like it :-))<\/p>\n
