CAT ADT
 

I have been slowly working on an ADT. Semi trying to copy the 1/50th scale 350D I have.

Today I started on the "articulation", got the back half done and made some tiny pins as well

Here are the tools i'm using, Clausing 4901 and Tormach 770. I'm still trying to learn how to use both, you will have to excuse my machine finish on some of my parts. During my learning curve, I have decided to except some imperfect parts or else I would get nothing done. I am slowly getting better at the CNC. It has been an amazing machine so far and any errors were operator driven. I am slowly getting faster at making parts and look forward to what I will be able to do in the future!

Lastly, can anyone recommend a supplier for small brass scale bolts and such? Model Motorcars does not seem to have much stock and is kind of expensive. I don't care if it is overseas or whatever, any links would be appreciated.

A great start Stew on what will be a great workhorse :cool:

What's the output rpm of the wheel motors?

Re: CAT ADT
 

Joe, I’m starting with 142 rpm, thoughts?

Re: CAT ADT
 

It will be pretty quick but not drag race style.lol

I just check my 4206 with brushed motors & it's 108 rpm with a full charges 3s. The B50 has brushless motors in it & they are a bit slower. My tire diameter is about 120mm.
