42043 LEGO® Technic Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245

Build your own massive Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245!

The white front cabin of the replica Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 captures the distinctive look of the real thing, with openable doors and tilt open cabin that reveals the 6 cylinder in-line motor. The rear tray has a tailgate that opens and the entire model has suspended axles with double front wheels turning in unison and the rear two wheels are double wheels to handle the heavy stuff you’ll be moving in this truck!

The four powerful motorised functions built into this Mercedes-Benz truck are the outriggers which extend out, which you can then manually lower to stabilise the truck. The second function activates the pneumatic pump which can lift the crane arm out of the tray, swivel the crane round the side and lastly, a motorised function to tilt the rear tray to empty all your soil or cargo out.

The build is broken down into 6 main sections which are the front cabin with the bumper, the crane with the turntable, the front suspension with the steering, the gearbox of the model with outriggers, the rear suspension and tipping function and lastly the tipper body. Combined together, you get the whole truck.

A couple of the new elements in this set are the shovel piece, the gear-shifting elements, a sturdy linear extension element, new extra-long pneumatic cylinders with improved hose connectors, small pneumatic cylinders also with improved hose connectors.

The alternative model builds a main tractor unit and a very long trailer which attaches easily to the main tractor unit. You can then connect the power functions and utilise the full function of the B-model.
