Build yourself a hobbygrade Articulating Dump Truck in 1/14th scale.
The models dimensions are : 75cm long, 21cm wide and 24cm tall.
Based on a 24 ton dump truck in reallife (Volvo A30G).
Fully electric model- which means you dont need hydraulics and oil.
6x6 driveline- it has 6 drivemotors (1 pr wheel), 1 wormgear motor for steering, and two 12v actuators for dumping the bed.
Runs on a 3S LiPo battery, 2200mah.
Fully functioning suspension in the rear, and with an articulating front chassis this truck can drive just about anywhere you want.
Included with the files you will get a partslist with links and pictures of all the hardware that you need and a detailed 70 page build manual.
All the 3d files have been pre-oriented to make your printing easier.
The model has a 22x22x22cm printer bed size version, as well as a 30x30x40cm printer size version.
I have tried my best at making all the parts as user friendly as I possibly can.
For those who purchase this, Thank you! And I wish you happy building!!
EDIT:
23rd February 2025 - Updated recommended actuator information in the "what you need" list and HELP folders.

16th January 2025 - Added two optional GRID files for the Hood Fans. Download "Vulpa 3G and 4G VentGrids.zip" to get them.
30th October 2024 - Added new "Easy print" files for the hood. The sidevents on the hood was very thin and hard for some to print. this fixes it. If you printed the hood without problems you dont need this update.
