Re: OpenRC tractor, 1:10, JD remix of Ebro 160D
Dang, I didn't know you could get quality servos in the micro size. I've been using the generic blue ones. This is not least because they came in a bag of ten and I had leftovers from whatever...

Re: 1:10 Land Rover Defender 4x4, mini tow rig
Crap, didn't think of recessing the spare. That woulda worked nicely. Unfortunately the bonnet & wings aren't removable as the whole body is glued/painted as one. (The snorkel glues both top &...

1:10 Land Rover Defender 4x4, mini tow rig
Not a big rig, more a small one, but couldn't see a more appropriate sub-forum. Anyway, I needed something civilian to pull the forklift trailer besides the military trucks. See...

Re: OpenRC tractor, 1:10, JD remix of Ebro 160D

Re: 1:10ish scratch forklift
Thanks for the good words, and good that the pix come through. I find a pic really is worth a kiloword, and it's soo much easier to explain when you can SEE, as opposed to trying to follow my...

Re: 1:10ish scratch forklift
Speaking of trailer interchangeability, there's also a dolly for trucks other than the M1070 to pull the M1000.

Re: 1:10ish scratch forklift
Thanks. I actually keep meaning to get into conversions, do some Bruders and the like, though I'm a little intimidated by trying to squeeze in all the electronics. Though 1:10 can have its challenges...

Re: 1:10ish scratch forklift
Though I don't have anything that fits it -- yet -- I did do some narrow ramps on the curb side for lawn equipment or the like. You know, Just In Case.

Re: 1:10ish scratch forklift
Axles are epoxy tubing from my local plastic shop, with threaded rod down the center. I think the threaded rod would have been okay, but the trailer is so wide I was worried about bending. The epoxy...

Re: 1:10ish scratch forklift
Along with trucks, I have a thing for trailers, so I thought I should make a smaller utility trailer to carry the forklift. Turns out that the scale doesn't remotely work, so a trailer for it is...

Thanks! I gotta admit that, particularly with the 3D printing, it's an iterative process (meaning a lot of trial and error.) You only see the parts that actually came out :D
