Re: 1/10 Oshkosh M1070 A0 (3D Printed/Scratchbuilt)

Coupla random thoughts. One, what axles are you using, if you don't mind me asking? I've used Integy stuff, which isn't bad, if you don't mind dealing with their rather minimalist idea of customer...

Re: 1/10 Oshkosh M1070 A0 (3D Printed/Scratchbuilt)

Yep, as Frizzen pointed out, tracked vehicles are manageable if you mix the channels -- my FlySky FSi6 did it easy enough.

As for the M1000, you either do a mechanical scaling so the front axles...

Oh. My. Gog. That is some serious work.

That truck vaguely reminds me of something ... hmm, what could it be? =))

Re: Tires for conversions

I, err, was going for "roll your own tires" because tires roll. I have no idea to what else you might reefer, err, refer :rolleyes: Dave's not here, man. =))

Re: Tires for conversions

Oh snap! At first I thought you were gonna suggest flexible filaments, which can be a royal pain, at least IME. And the detail left a lot to be desired. :(

But this, wow. Commonly available stuff,...

I hear you on the street tread. I had a devil of a time finding one for my Fierito, which, err, I don't have a thread for here. Ended up using a Tamiya tire from their robot/education line, which is...

Re: Tires for conversions

Ooh, good options! I'd seen some stuff on the Lego tires but they seemed mostly car-ish, and I've only seen some of those WPL ones. The others may be real handy for some projects (rubbing hands...

Re: LINN Model DD-15 "HafTrak" Dump (1/14)

I'm still trying to wrap (pun intended) my head around the suspension. You're doing amazing work! I'm half-way (again, pun intended) doing a WWII half-track, and they pose a unique set of challenges....

Holy carp, okay, that's insane then that you got all that in there!

My "1:10ish" is about twice the size of the Bruder. I sized it so that it would lift onto the bed of my trailers, and some...

Beautiful work! And a fun toy, err, project =))

Re: 1:10ish Reach Stacker for "conex" cargo containers

Thanks all for the good words!

The gyro boards are sold as both GY-521 and MPU-6050, Amazon, Fleabay, Aliexpress would all have 'em. From that you can Google the code, easy enough, or in a pinch I...

Re: 1:10ish Reach Stacker for "conex" cargo containers

End result is not as pretty as, well, the majority of builds, not visually accurate to much of anything, but certainly functional and I find it fun. Just the grabbing of the containers requires...

So that's it for pix. I did take some videos, some of which came out appalling awful and others only pretty bad.

Re: 1:10ish Reach Stacker for "conex" cargo containers

The complexity of controlling the thing made for complex needs at the TX. I love me the FlySky FSi6's, cheap and hackable, but this build took a bit more hacking than others:

The grabbing mechanism proper is M4 bolts turned down to a point on the ends. All of my containers have a standardized spacing for the top holes. Trying to make the pins motorized would have made an...

Re: 1:10ish Reach Stacker for "conex" cargo containers

The grabber mechanism is made to adjust to the various cargo containers I've built, which makes it wider than I would have liked.

Re: 1:10ish Reach Stacker for "conex" cargo containers

The chassis is welded steel channel, along with a ten pound steel block on the back as counterweight. (Did I mention a bit of overengineering?)

There's no suspension, so the axles are just mounted...

Re: 1:10ish Reach Stacker for "conex" cargo containers

Conex size (specifically height) does however affect stacking ability, and I really really wanted to be able to stack three containers. Which is possible, just requires a long (and strong) arm.

Apologies, one of these days I'll learn to check for previous experience before I go frothing off at the mouth. Might be a little Arduino happy :|

And M3.5? Who thought of that? Sheesh.
