Volvo FMX Truck, Trailer And Volvo EC230 Excavator (42175 Mod)

Mod your 42175 set and create this 8x4 tipper truck and flatbed trailer to carry the Volvo EC230 Electric excavator.


The mod of the Volvo EC230 Electric excavator includes:

- revised proportions and external design to match the real excavator
- third pneumatic cylinder to control the bucket indipendently





Functions of the truck:
- Hand of god steering
- Opening doors
- Tilting cab
- Fake engine
- Tipping bed (pneumatic)













The parts to build the whole model (truck, trailer and excavator) are included in 2x 42175 sets, so you can choose if you prefer to make a Bricklink order to buy only the extra parts, or to purchase a second 42175 set and use it as a donor set (you will also have a lot of useful spare parts for mocs).
