"Crazy Fiero owner" is redundant, btw :)

The problem I have with the load/unload -- besides, yeah, the weeks of designing them and having to recall high school trigonometry! -- is actually doing...

Re: 1:10 10x10 "HEMTT" (actually M1074 PLS w/ M1076 trailer)

Thanks for the kind words! It's definitely a learning curve, especially if you're not coming from a programming background. But both are increasingly pervasive, especially the Arduino stuff. There's...

Some other details: The hook for the flatrack is hinged on the 1:1 to reduce height for airlift:

Re: 1:10 10x10 "HEMTT" (actually M1074 PLS w/ M1076 trailer)

As mentioned, I get happy with lighting on my projects. Arduinos lend themselves very nicely to these programmable LED strings popularly called "NeoPixels". Instead of a star topology where you have...

With the loading mechanism sorted, the next trick was the center loading crane. While it's not used to load the conex, it can be used to load stuff onto a flatrack.

This uses more linear actuators...

Re: 1:10 10x10 "HEMTT" (actually M1074 PLS w/ M1076 trailer)

While I like build RC stuff that's accurate to the 1:1, I'm not remotely a rivet counter. I also want mechanical functionality, so I'm willing to to tweak things as I see fit, either for my own taste...

Re: 1:10 10x10 "HEMTT" (actually M1074 PLS w/ M1076 trailer)

As I said, my styrene fab skills aren't fantastic, but in 1:10 the bits can be big enough for me to manage. In parallel with building the truck, there's also a conex ("shipping container", "ISO",...

Re: 1:10 10x10 "HEMTT" (actually M1074 PLS w/ M1076 trailer)

While greebling detail is not my strong point, I try where possible. One example is the wheels. RC4WD had a good military-tread tire that matched my scale, but I wasn't able to find anything remotely...

The start of an MMRS Demonstrator

Re: The start of an MMRS Demonstrator

Curious about the drivetrain ... can you tell us more about choice of axles, transmission, etc? I think it's bigger than the 1:12 I would have expected.
