[MOC] Lego Technic RC Pneumatic Tatra 815-7 8x8 - Massive i6 LPE Powered Truck

[@RacingBrick]

Looks great and a nice use of that engine! How does it perform torque-wise compared to the electric engines, can in climb a steeper slope? What is the range of the vehicle with one charge of air?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thanks, electric motors that are a equivalent in total power are always going to be better for start up torque. However LPE's like this one compared to LEGO line up of Electric motors produce many times the power for the same size and weight, remember you also need battery packs for the motors. This engine (on 55 psi) has about the power of 4-5XL's running on 9v, approximately. As seen in the Chassis video this truck can climb small slopes and go over rough terrain, but it can't go up 40 degree slopes like LEGO trial trucks built for competition. But then it was built to be a Trial Truck, only a Scale truck. on 4.5L of Air (at 55psi) it will run for around 1 minute (on concrete), i'm not sure how far. probably like 100m or so.

[@cyborgpunk6668]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop out of curiosity, do you think you can use an electronic motor that spins a pneumatic, creating a continuous supply of compressed air instead of those clunky bottles? That way the electric engine would keep on making compressed air until the battery drains, lasting much longer

[@EagleAirOne]

@@cyborgpunk6668 pumps of any kind thatll fit on the truck will not be able to produce that much in so little time. A costly, but likely effective solution would be buying a paintball tank pumped up to either 3000 or 4500 psi. Buy regulators to reduce the psi output. .45 liters of air compressed to 4500 psi is the equivalent of about 36 liters of air compressed to 55 psi. Not sure how to do the math on that, but it would last hopefully a few more minutes than the 4.5 liter 55 psi solution

[@cessnafun5385]

@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop You could potentially put a small air compressor on the chassis itself, connected to the air tanks. It could then be controlled by another electric motor to turn it on and off. Run low on PSI? Pump it up again without having to stand up.

[@mikosoft]

That engine sound is unbelievably close to the real thing. Of course the sound is not as massive as in a real Tatra but the general feel is there.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

yeah, when i first started it up to film the chassis video i was amazed. it sounds even better in real life ; )

I'm wondering what camcoder you're using !? The shots feel soooo clean ! Besides this, Awesome build !

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thank you, i am using a Nikon d5600 DSLR. i will be upgrading to the SONY a6500 in a month, because the cameras auto focus is not the best and other reasons. the a6500 also has the same sensor tho. i recommend have a look at the SONY a6300 if you don't need a MIC jack. Nikon cameras are excellent for photography but for video Sony, Panasonic and Cannon are better for the similar prices.

[@Altgottt]

@@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop have you looked into Fuji's offerings? they are really good cameras for video now

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

@@Altgottt I have looked into Fuji, (actually i used a FujiFilm to start this channel) but i am going to stick with Sony as i already have invested in there system. I ended up buying the a6300, and in a few months i will get a A7 3 or A7s 3 as a Second Camera.

[@ianlehman8342]

I've been looking at pneumatic engines, and noticed small Pneumatic vehicles gave limitied run time. How well you think this would work with a lightweight compressed nitrogen cylinder?

[@jdsd_]

Uuuuh, that transition from the picture to the actual truck, not just awesome building skills, but nice video editing skills aswell! Keep up the great work! Much love and greetings from Germany :)

Hello Everyone i am back with another Large Pneumatic Powered Vehicle, What sort of Vehicle should I build next? I thought about building a Pneumatic 18 wheeler (semi truck), do you like that idea? Comment down below. 😀

[@YusufsStyle]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop you are good man

[@AtteR04]

Some tracked vehicle or a really small pickup truck with inline-1(or 2) engine

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

yes i will film that in the future, i have already done that before i put the LPE into this truck. Results were amazing

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

im keen on building a tracked vehicle

[@tristanpimentel4749]

Green Gecko Lego Technic Workshop you should build a lego technic pneautic drift car. Awsome truck by the way

[@mhymyk4022]

With some revision to the body, you could easily make an Oshkosh HEMTT. Custom air tank could be utilized to resemble the fuel tank on an M978 fuel service truck

[@RedXcz]

Very nicely built model, I very much like the sound of the engine - very true to the original! Great video production quality too!

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thanks

[@jjsanimations]

Put a cover over the compressed air maybe

[@jeff_wonderblast3351]

Yay new video I’m happy!!

[@technicfan]

Absolutly amazing!

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thanks

[@ZEROBRICKS]

Well done! How long can you run it on air?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thank you, it depends on how much air the tanks can hold. i have a 4.5L tank on there because it fitting nicely, i could have them at a pressure like 150 psi then i would have a lot more run time. You got to remember that the tank volume and run time ratio is not linear, since the pneumatic engines need a certain a mount of pressure to run. all i need it a air regulator and this truck could go for like 4-5 minutes rather than 1 minute which is how long it drives on a tank at 55psi. Thanks for the question.

[@georgkilianbraunig5877]

dude the sound... its just good

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thanks

[@fangthewarrior]

Yay it's here!! 😄

[@juanmosquera4469]

Amazing, the first time I see a functional lego car, how far does it travel? in meters

[@brianwest1371]

I have a question. Why don’t you just use a compact Lego air compressor that uses a small motor? It would produce air for the truck and you wouldn't have to use ugly bottles.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

That's what i will do next time

[@st1letho503]

Gecko, what about using a modifyied compressor instead of air tanks, you think that would be possible? Maybe mechanically controlled to not be dependent or minimally dependent on batteries.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

air produce even flow of air, air compressors by them selves don't. it would take at least 20 lego compressors for the same power as the tanks. it is easier just to run air tanks. i will try taking them up to 140 psi and regulating them down to 55 in the future for more range. thanks

[@dejvbayer]

Love it! I leave 30 km from the place where Tatra is made :) This video makes me really proud.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Thanks, i wish i could see a Tatra in real life. I don't think they sell them in New Zealand

[@daringd3lta574]

You still comment on old videos?

[@marcelgemmer2409]

Can't you use a metal pressure tank that you can fill with a higher pressure and adjust to your required pressure via a valve? So you should have a greater range with less space. Sorry for the bad english I had to use a translator.

This is better than any set Lego has put out. I wish they'd use pneumatics in more stuff so I could get my hands on it more easily. All I can do right now is single cylinder engines, but I'd like to do stuff like this.

[@stargamingnc924]

I have a question that still remain unanswered. Would it be possible tu pair a pneumatic engine with a lego air compressor running on a battery, to make the truck truly remote controlled? i would love to see that.

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Yes

[@cristiandrapni658]

Wow, nice work! But why don't you use paintball cartridges as air tanks? They will store much more air in a smaller place...

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

thanks, because i need a air regulator first. for the next pneumatic vehicle i will use a high pressure system

[@cristiandrapni658]

Great, can't wait to see your next creation!

[@alancadieux2984]

Nice! I was thinking about those 1lb propane camping bottles for air. Obviously either way u must have a regulator to cut down even 55 psi. How much air pressure does this in line 6 cyl need to operate at this level?

[@GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop]

Propane gas to too cold... Have already considered that. But thanks!

Great idea, a Adder/Subtractor gearbox would be awesome. Maybe a smaller LPE could be used for the second motor.
