TTTT event in germany

Thorsten · #1 02-20-2003, 01:18 PM

In november 2002 was a tttt-event on a hobby fair in Berlin, germany. Ithink the "Gallery" Forum is a good place to show the fun we have.

If you stay in germany in March:
In Sinsheim near Heilbron is the Model Fair "Faszination Modellbau" (13.03.2003 -16.03.2003).

There we have the next german tttt-event.

Best regards

that looks like soo much fun. i look forward to you being our german tttt news correspondent!

what are the rules / guidlines and such for these events? if someone hasn't already asked.

Thorsten · #8 02-24-2003, 10:20 AM

Hi arch2b,
There ist only one rule/guidline during the events:
maximun size fun with minimum size trucks ;-)

OK, the TTTT-rules you will find at www.mikromodell.de (just look at "truck trial")

But this are ony a first version of the rules. Mostly it is more fun just to follow another car.
The first one looks at a difficult route and the other cars try to follow him. If one of them unable to pass a barrier, the first try to help by usin chains or a windlass.

Thats why some of my cars have working windlass ;-)

best regards

thorsten- i assume you ment 'winch' instead of windlass? i hadn't thought about a working wench. (wheels turning in head) i guess it would need another servo motor, speed controller, i guess fishing line would work (it's really thin and strong) and make a hook for the end. what more would you need in terms of tx and rx?

Thorsten · #10 02-24-2003, 01:28 PM

Hi arch2b,
sorry my electronic translator isn't perfect ;-)

You need a few parts to create a working wench. A small motor (I take a 4mm Motor out of a cellphone-vibrationalarm).
2 wormgears and 2gears to reduce the speed. One free outputchanel of your reciver, a speedcontrole an a controlerstick on the transmitter. Thats all ;-)

Here you see a picture of the wench of my Kaeble heavy-transporter.

Thorsten · #11 02-24-2003, 01:30 PM

OK, close up for a better view of the motor. You may see the wormgear of the motor above the "large" gear in the middle of the picture

Thorsten · #12 02-24-2003, 01:34 PM

At last, a view from rear. Here you see the 4mm Motor and the wench. At the left side you will see the gears.
The rope is a part of a very thin fishing-line (I know, i should buy a new translator). The hoke is selfmade by usin a 0.3mm brasswire.

best regards

HELP\\
what is the name of the truck in the first picture?
the red one.

Thorsten · #15 04-30-2003, 12:48 AM

Hi rallger,
it is an "Iveco" 7.5 ton truck. The kit is from "MAAK". This was a "sister company" from Herpa.

Some additional informations you can see at:

The kit is sold out since 2 years. So its difficult to get one of them.

best regards

Thorsten
