Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Hello guys, I see an update is more than overdue, had to go to the fifth page to find the thread again.
Having spent a long time making some as-much-scale-as-seems-possible 45 degree angled...

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
Hi Paul,
Thanks for showing. The damaged box would have made me a bit worried before opening it. I hope the model didn´t take damage.
So, you didn´t find any local Sandmaster dealer? :D:D...

Re: Volvo A40F
Hello Ari,
I should have expected this. Have been away from the forum for just some months and here is an almost half-finished (well, ok, some 20% maybe) ADT from you. Awesome as always!!!...

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Converted some rod ends from RC4WD to more scale like ones. To make it simple, I used the original balls and the bronze inserts, which were put into a new housing. That´s why they are not quite as...

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
That´s a Jung pump, alright. They have a whole range looking the same. The one in your link has a higher flow than mine. You might get a better price if you order directly from the manufacturer,...

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Yeah, Reg, you nailed it. My particular setup is a Jung 4001 (type designation IPZ1-HR-3) driven by a Flyware powerREX 430-300 motor. The pump delivers 0,5 liter/min @ 40 bar and 3000 rpm and is...

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
I too have to correct myself since 20.5R25 (a wide base size) evidently relates to a 25" rim, so the scale diameter would be 79 mm or 3"1/8.

OK, I forgot to mention that my tires would have an inner D=55 mm. Despite the difference from your 70 mm I'd be very interested in hearing from you if you find some tires or start making them. I...

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
The optional 20.5x25 tires of the original machine in scale 1:8 (D=186 mm, W=69 mm) do not seem to be commercially available. Consequently I´d have to make them, too. What size would you need,...

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
Have been thinking of rad and fan but on the other hand, and as you indicate, it will get crowded enough under the hood and the hydraulic system is not at all used as much as e.g. in an excavator and...

John, I was thinking of a 400 W bl outrunner or a low rpm brushed motor and a three or four gear transmission. A problem is that the gear spread between the lowest and highest gear on the real 11...

The answer to the first question is written on the box. Hint: It´s not "FRAGILE" :D You just have to upload your 3D CAD drawing and send them some bucks. The material in this case is stainless...
