Hello fellow builders! After a small period away of about a month I'm back with my latest MOC, a European Style Truck.
European Style Truck by legomuppet9, on Flickr
It uses an XL motor geared down 1:2 for propulsion via an old differential and has ackermann steering geometry with return to center steering, as done by LasseD on his trucks (http://c-mt.dk/instructions/). Other functions include opening doors and I guess the coupling is one as it would work just I don't have enough pieces to build a trailer...
More Pictures including every Technic builders favourite, the underside

I have also made instructions for this, in the form of an LXF file which can be found at this brickshelf link (when moderated) http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=532452
And this is on rebrickable: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/legomuppet9/european-style-truck
