Hay guys thanks for all the feed back! It's not ready for the dirt yet I still have to mount the steering cylinders,pump,valve body and esc. Then maybe a test run. Hop fully this weekend I can get more done and post more pic.

Re: Cat looking loader
Had some time to work on the loader. So I got one of the steering cylinders mounted I have all the brackets for the other side made so it should go quickly.

Re: Cat looking loader
Hello Radar very nice work so far. I see you use mostly steel that is good it will last a lifetime. Ed

Re: Cat looking loader
How come you didn't go with the TXT-1 axles? It's more than twice the reduction and a lot more mass grabbing with the gears vs just a crown & pinion.

Re: Cat looking loader
I used those axels be cause I had them I know thay won't last long. But I will look into those if ya don't mind send me a link were I can get them thx for the info

Re: Cat looking loader
Looking for a link I see the axle/trk kit was discontinued in 2012, but some good alternatives would be the Blackwell axles..
http://store.rc4wd.com/Blackwell-X1-...xle_p_451.html ... or even the Bully Comp axles (I've never used them myself) eliminating the need for a transmission, transfer case & driveshafts. http://store.rc4wd.com/Bully-2-Compe...le_p_3324.html |
Re: Cat looking loader
The txt 1 axles were the best. Too bad they don't make them anymore

The axle used in most German loaders and dumpers with a traditional driveline. |
Re: Cat looking loader
Nice - wish I had the skills to build my own!
Since short, ScaleArt has added a drive axle for wheel loaders to their catalog. Bit pricey though. 425 € with 19% sales tax and 358 € without the tax https://scaleart-shop.de/en/Drive-Te...l-loaders.html |
