Such is the success of LEGO’s excellent Power Functions system that we rarely seem to publish a purely mechanical Technic model. However recent bloggee Nico71 has allowed us to do just that with this superbly executed tipper truck.
Mechanical functions include a 6-cylinder engine driving (or rather being driven by) the rear wheels, working Hand-of-God steering, and a hand-cracked tipping load bed. We think Nico’s model could easily be an official Technic set, and there’s more to see courtesy of his Brickshelf gallery via the link above.
