Remote Controlled - BuWizz 3.0 / 2.0 or LEGO® Power Functions
Concrete Truck 42112
 
Full remote controlled version of the original LEGO® Concrete Mixer Truck (#42112), using the LEGO® Powered-Up system.

The original fake engine is still available the model, and remains operational. The remote controlled functions are driving, steering and drum rotation; both speed & direction.
The 4th output function of the Technic Powered-Up Hub is used for switching on/off the truck's headlights.

As well, the steering radius is improved and both rear axles are equipped with dual-wheels (or twin-wheels) for a more realistic look!

Fuel tanks are added as the original drum rotation crank and switch handle to select drum rotation drive-train (by the truck's wheels or manually) became redundant. Optionally, the truck can be equipped with rear mirrors.

To promote the LEGO® Powered-Up system, I decided to share the Building Instructions for free. So, this is your change to become familiar with the LEGO® Powered-Up system in an easy way, applied in an original model you might already have.

Have fun!
