I am also a "backyard machinist" and I probably would grind a tool to the shape I needed on the handles.

Looks like you had fun!

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Thx Elliot!

Yea it really did, i tryed first with the bucket to rip it up but that was to hard, as soon as i changed to the ripper it was alot easyer!

Thanks!

I sure did! :)

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

How many attendants at the show?

Some high level builds to be seen in your pics! :cool:

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Yeah, some of the trucks there were really nice!

I think we were about 7-8 people that drove rc related stuff and there was 2 or 3 that was showing their static truck builds like in the 2 last pics.

Great fun all day!

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

I finally painted the extra hyd. pipes and also switched the quick connections to smaller ones, looks more scale.

Now im waiting on some lasercut sheet steel and 2 hydraulic cylinders and the extra hydraulics will get used! :D

Beautiful bucket, the teeth's are cnc machined I guess.

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Looking good Kalle! :cool:

Is that entirely made of stainless steel?

It'll be interesting to see how well that digs for you? You may have to make another one, if it does. :D

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

Thanks Dan!

Yes i think he CNC:d them not sure tho.

Ohh, im looking forward to see your D8 on some show in the future! :)

Thx Joe!

No its not, i dont think anything is stainless only the pins for the mount on top, teeths are carbon steel i think, the sheets are some reular sheet metal.

I can make one for you if it works like i want it to! :)

Re: Azonic Hitachi 470/Bell B50D
 

I really can't wait till I have the funds to get one of these!! :D
Even just the build process will be a great experience.
