Beautiful work as usual Ari. Where do you buy your scale hardware from?

Re: Volvo A40F
Does any of you guys know the RAL code for the Volvo construction machine yellow ?
I think the color name is Taxi yellow and the Volvo's own number is 62. |
Re: Volvo A40F
I got the axles joint with the balance beams:)

Re: Volvo A40F
Crazy progress ari, looks awesome as each update!
You can get Volvo paint from the local Volvo dealer, in different sizes and types of canisters if I don't got it all wrong, saw them last time at the Swecon dealer here in Sweden. |
Re: Volvo A40F
nice - even got roller bearings on the balance beams :eek:

Re: Volvo A40F
I started to make the suspension a-frames:

Totally brilliant! |
Re: Volvo A40F

Re: Volvo A40F
Yeah, I was eyeballing your drawings & assemblies & was beginning to wonder what interferences there might be with the driveline. :thinking:
New parts to see everyday, you seem to be moving forward quite quickly. :cool: |

There's not much extra room there so there might still be a few nasty surprises to come;) |
Re: Volvo A40F
Hey that diff in the last picture is what I am after! Well I need two I guess...
The suspension parts are looking great Ari! Did you ever get the TIG welding figured out? |

Re: Volvo A40F
Beautiful truck so far!! Applause!
Using that new axle should make the truck much more durable. Since the shaft passes through the differential of the middle axle the current axle has to withstand the load of both axles.. The axle with the bypass (provided it actually is a bypass) distributes the load equally onto both axles. Should be much better for the drive train.. Cheers Pip |
