Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

So you are using Bf 20?

Are you pleased with it? Did you buy only the factory electronics or you also bought ballscrews?

Did you make hydraulic parts with it too?

I'm quite pleased with it, only sometimes I have hoped it to be a little bigger. I have ballscrews in all axis.
I only made the cylinders for the grader and there was some milling on them that I did with the BF20.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Looks like you practiced a bit before sharing.. :p ..pretty smooooth!

Need more video :)

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

I want your G-Codes. ;)

Truly amazing! I enjoyed following this project. Good job :D

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Great videos. It's very nice to see the model in action, after all the hard work that went into building it to such a realistic level of detail!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

I guess I'm jumpin onto this pretty late ha..?

I've just spent hours reading through this build... what an absolute masterpiece...

I operate a 140M all day 6 days a week, and still love it... and had an idea of building an r/c one myself... I started to search around a bit and found this... after seing the quality and perfection you have acheived I've been left confused...

How can I get a flight to your house... quietly slip out the back gate, and get back home to Australia with that model before you notice..? I don't ever see myself being able to produce something like that...

which begs the question... if you have all the data required to cnc the components, would reproducing a kit ever be a reality..? or even a half kit, with the fundamentals, ie mainframe components and blade, less hydraulics and radio etc. I understand there must be hundreds of hours of hand work also... but I really want one just like yours...

wow... still blown away... that thing is the single best r/c model I have ever seen...

thanks for sharing... Luke...

Anyone know where one could be purchased?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Time, time, time, and more time. I have CNC stuff but having a hard time finding the time.

Great work. What's your CAD? / CAM?

It's a one off scratchbuilt by the OP, so no.

But there's a different one listed right now in the Buy and Sell, not far from where you live. ;)

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Did you sell this fine model? I saw someone on YT claiming it to be theirs.

I sold it several years ago. Do you have a link for that video ?
