1x introduction to truck model building, specialist book. VTH-Verlag, ISBN: 978388104622 Author: Alexander Kalcher, 242 pages, 224 illustrations. Getting started with truck model buildingTrucks are not only the backbone of logistics - they are also extremely fascinating. The technology of the different designs, but also the sheer size of these vehicles makes them real highlights for technology fans. And for model builders they are worthwhile replica objects that can be equipped with almost unlimited special functions or turned into real pieces of jewelry with light and sound effects. In this book, Alexander Kalcher shows you the entire diversity of truck model building. Starting from various kits, the construction "out of the box" - i.e. a model according to building instructions - is shown. The author goes into special features and gives tips on how a kit can be improved with just a few resources. It then continues with detailed improvements, embellishments and adjustments to personal taste, so that models are created that are absolutely unique. The wealth of information about technical backgrounds, be it mechanics, electronics or remote control technology, is also very helpful, especially for beginners Make it easier to take steps into this fascinating hobby. Infographics explain even more complicated issues in an easy-to-understand manner and a variety of illustrations complement the text.

1x Hydraulics in model making, specialist book. VTH-Verlag, ISBN:9783881804929 Author: Marcel Sigrist, 107 pages, many illustrations, drawings and formulas. Whether excavator or caterpillar, tipper or wheel loader - none of these commercial vehicles can do without hydraulics. Alternatives are often used in model making because hydraulics are considered complicated. But with a few basics, planning and building model hydraulics is not rocket science. In this book, model hydraulics specialist Marcel Sigrist gives you the information you need so that you can equip your model with functioning hydraulics. From calculating the required power and therefore the necessary pump, to the design of lines and valves, to... All relevant topics are addressed regarding the required safety devices, so that nothing stands in the way of the successful construction of a functional model hydraulic system. A complete archive of technical drawings for the required components rounds off the book.

1x 2,4GHz remote controls. Technical book. VTH-Verlag, ISBN:9783881804882 Author: Ronal Büchi, 140 pages, many illustrations, drawings and formulas. In the first years of the new millennium, a revolution took place in remote control technology with 2,4GHz. After frequencies in the double-digit MHz range were the state of the art for many years, a large part of communication technology and with it remote controls have conquered the band between 2,4GHz and 2,48GHz. This development was possible not least because of fast transistors and today's microprocessor technology. The biggest advantage for the user is that he no longer has to coordinate with others when he wants to switch on his remote control. All remote controls transmit on the same frequency band and their receivers use sophisticated technology to know which signals are intended for them and which are not.
