OBSOLETE: Truck T2 MkII with instructions


Model "US Truck T2 MkII" is build with LEGO® in scale 1:17,5 and motorized using LEGO® Power Functions. This model is not build after a specific brand or type of truck. It represents the well known typical US style truck with classic looks.




Also can you build it yourself!
You will be very excited from the moment you start the build of US Truck T1 MkII till you finish it with a total number of parts of about 1800 pieces.
To do so you can buy the Building Instructions.



When TLC released LEGO® Power Functions® IR Speed Remote Control Unit I was really excited about it. US Truck T2 MkII has less gear reduction and is therefore quite a bid faster then its predecessor.


The truck features: solid axle suspension on all axles, PF powered driving with power transmitted independently to both rear axles, Ackerman geometry on steering axle, Servo powered steering, fully functional fifth wheel, modeled engine and 3 light units.



The LEGO® Power Functions® Servo is used to enable the steering. Aligned with the trucks chassis the Servo is sitting inside of the cabin right behind the modeled engine in between both seats. With a 90 degrees conversion the motion of the Servo is transferred to the steering axle.


This truck model is powered by a Detroit Diesel DD15 which is revealed with the hood opened. This power source is an inline 6 cylinder engine with a displacement of 906 cu. in. (14.9 L). The horsepower range is from 455 up to 505 HP and this engine has a torque range from 1550 to 1750.


The modeled engine is a small object that really improves the realism of this model. Engine is detailed with for example engine oil dipstick, fan, fan belt, pulleys, hoses, oil filters, turbo, exhaust manifold and so on.
