LEGO Technic RC Caterpillar 797F Dump Truck

Not a LEGO set. Not for sale. Not eligible for LEGO Ideas. No instructions, but you are welcome to read description and check work in progress photos at my website.

That self adjusting suspension is hands down one of the coolest things I have seen in a LEGO build!

I imagine that you're going to use this system in future builds as well.

The use of the accelerometer with the Mindstorms unit is super clever. Awesome as always Sariel

[tylernatale]

Beautiful. Outstanding detailing for such a large, complex functional model, and that leveling suspension is pure genius. Worth the wait, man, worth it indeed

[vtr]

After all the years of calling LEGO out on not using dual-wheels on their trucks, you went ahead and not only fitted the biggest tires to this but also doubled them up for good measure.

Awesome :|

So THIS is what a LEGO model of a dump truck worth its salt looks like, combined with what a Technic model of a dump truck worth its salt moves like - plus some. Great work!

[silent_builder]

I really love this moc. I had a metal dumptruck toy like this when I was younger and still memorable. Might make a dump truck moc soon.

Also, the thing that he put into the truck in the beginning of the vis was beans, proving that this is the ultimate bean retriever at 2 in the morning

This is nice creation but I find the correction angle too slow and the rear dump which is not braced correclty (it swings). But this is nice to see you again !

[johannes]

How long do your builds usually survive before being broken up?

[matthewking]

Yet again another awesome creation. Totally love the construction/mining equipment. I just wish I had half the peices you did and the skill to build stuff like this.

[hungryfilms]

I can never get over how huge these things are in real life

[bobtaco]

That's a behemoth! Great work mate

[malyzbojca]

Impressive! One question: why there is so long lag between tilt being applied and correction?

[alexandermilbank]

The mindstorms unit is such a great addition. Fantastic build!

[Qumaty]

Szkoda, że nie udało się z tą skrzynią biegów, ale przy tej wadze trudno o wszystko co się zaplanuje. Super się prezentuje na tych oponkach.

[EricGallant]

Awesome! That deal with the accelerometer to keep it up right is crazy my only complaint is how jittery the movement of the bucket is

[sakurai_garage]

2:07 I can see a MAZ. But when will the submarine be completed?

[donovanellis]

Being as late to this as I am, not much I can think to say that isn't already in the comments, beyond this:
Your praise is very well deserved. You clearly put a lot of work into these projects, it shows. You take the time to make these creations accurate to the source material in terms of both functionality and aesthetics, which can often be a tug-of-war, especially in reduced scales. I Imagine you typically don't leave your models together all that long for the sake of reusing your parts (but even If you could somehow afford to build at the rate you do without taking anything apart, think about the sheer number and size of all your mocs-you'd need a small museum by now to store everything you've built (a museum I'd gladly visit;)), I kindly request that you make an exception here, just long enough to see it work with the leibherr mining excavator in your review. I think it's something we'd all really like to see. But if that can't happen, it's not the end of the world. And if it means more mocs to be built with its parts, then go for it.

It’s good to see no animals were harmed in the making of this video. Oh yeah, BTW. Very cool truck as well. LOL

[MrMikey]

So amazing! Obviously LEGO would never do something so awesome with all the Mindstorms kit, but it would be more appealing than the upcoming Liebherr D9800 at an aesthetic and play level - to me at least. I absolutely love your work Sariel.
