1x Introduction to Truck Model Building, Reference Book. VTH-Verlag, ISBN: 978388104622 Author: Alexander Kalcher, 224 pages, 224 illustrations. Introduction to Truck Model Building: Trucks are not only the backbone of logistics – they are also extremely fascinating. The technology of the various models, but also the sheer size of these vehicles, makes them true highlights for technology fans. And for model builders, they are worthwhile replicas that can be equipped with almost unlimited special functions or turned into real gems with light and sound effects. In this book, Alexander Kalcher shows you the full diversity of truck model building. Starting with various kits, the construction from the box – that is, a model according to the assembly instructions – is first demonstrated. The author addresses special features and offers tips on how to improve a kit even with minimal resources. This is followed by detailed improvements, enhancements, and customizations to suit personal taste, resulting in models that are truly unique. The wealth of information on technical backgrounds, be it mechanics, electronics, or remote control technology, is also very helpful, making it easier for beginners, especially, to take their first steps into this fascinating hobby. Infographics explain even more complicated concepts in an easy-to-understand manner, and a variety of illustrations complement the text. Contents: - What is truck modeling? - Basics of remote control technology - The first model truck - From kit to your own model - Modifying the drivetrain - Beautifying the driver's cab - Installing electrical functions - Remote control system - Glossary

1x Hydraulics in model making, specialist book. VTH-Verlag, ISBN:9783881804929 Author: Marcel Sigrist, 107 pages, many illustrations, drawings and formulas. Whether excavator or crawler, dump truck or wheel loader - in the original, none of these commercial vehicles can do without hydraulics. In model making, alternatives are often used because hydraulics are considered complicated. But with a few basics, planning and building a model hydraulic system is not rocket science. In this book, model hydraulics specialist Marcel Sigrist gives you the information you need to equip your model with a functioning hydraulic system. From calculating the required power and thus the necessary pump, the design of lines and valves to the required safety devices, all relevant topics are addressed so that nothing stands in the way of successfully building a functioning 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.
