Re: Unit Cable Hoe
This may be a silly question but what are the black wire leads going into the track frames? Are the drive batteries between the rails?
It sure works well on rotation and looks to have a good speed...

Re: King Cat 6x6
I really like the look with the wheels and tires. It reminds me of a Trials truck from Europe.
Any video?

OOOOOh! I smell road trip.
I might have to take the camera and get a bunch of photo's of those machines.
Live Steam, R/C, and model loaders. That would be a unique build.:D

Re: R/C Tonka dump truck
On a side note I found a really easy latch system for the dump box gate. I glued a 3/16" round rare earth magnet inside the box, up against the tail gate and it holds it just enough to keep the load...

Re: R/C Tonka dump truck
Thanks
I had to research the wheel color to see it. The truck I have is a reproduction of the original and the colors are off from the real one. I'll have to add this to my list of To Do's.

I couldn't have summed it up any better myself:D
The 955K sounds like a good match for the truck. I'm looking forward to seeing that build in the future!

I think Smallhaul used the drivetrain from a mini rock crawler like a 1/16 Losi or Duratrax on his Tonka's. They are about the right size and would offer plenty of strength and power. Once I find...

Re: Bruder Cat Excavator Conversion

The brass boom is going to be a really nice addition to the model. I don't think there will be any problem with it breaking.
Are you going to use servos for the track drives?

Re: bruder trackloader conversion
Are yout using a Tamiya dual motor gear box for track drives? The loader seems to have good power and it works really well in the videos.

Suprisingly it has good power empty. Enough to spin the tires on concrete, but it gets sluggish with a full load.
