great job! I am always impressed by how many details you manage to include in your models. There is only one thing that - in my view - could be improved in your trucks: the transmission system. do you think it would be possible to make it run more "smoothly" ? i think that the suspension system is somehow preventing wheels to run in a completely smooth way. do u think it would be possible to improve this?

@theABchannel101 Thanks for the very kind words to start with. I understand what you talk about, let me explain. There is no transmission or what so ever in my models, simply because there's no space left. The wheels themselves even with the suspension system are running very smooth. At the moment I'm using the PF IR Speed Remote Control Unit, the one that has dials. With this I'm able to operate the driving smoothly...

@2LegoOrNot2Lego how do yu lift the trailer

[2LegoOrNot2Lego]

@IpWnUv1 The linear actuator in the gooseneck is operated by the M motor at the back of it. This makes the trailer going up and down, please check the other video on this model, it is clear on how things work...

I want to thank you all for the very kind words... This latest project is also the one with the most functions I could squeeze in to it... Nice to hear you all like it that much...!!! :-)

Nice! I'm surprised the frame didn't flex too much with the excavator on it.

[2LegoOrNot2Lego]

@DuffLego Yeah, I know what you mean. It is because of the higher chassis beams the trailer is this strong...
