Can drive motor affect steering servo?
I had my PH350 off-road dump truck driving around the basement for the first time last night. But, whenever the truck is above about 1/3 throttle, the steering servo gets a mind of its own and goes...

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
The suspension detail is amazing! Don't know if I'd have the nerve to try making axle housings - but your results are really great. Yes, it is a good feeling to roll it around - just got the motor...

Re: Possible Solution For Tracked Equiptment
A question about material sticking to the pads. Would spraying the pads with something like Pam, the non-stick cooking spray or some silcon-based spray, reduce the problem?

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
A lot of drilling and indexing but looks great! Did you tap each hole or use non-threaded bolt heads or what? I have a similar situation with my Payhauler hubs that require wheel studs with clamps...

Re: dresser TD40B dozer
Okay, so is the trackpress video a forerunner to you building a scale-sized one to assemble your tracks? That'd be really cool, just need to find a scale-sized guy to run it. He won't need safety...

Re: my first semi build (dump)
Wow, now that's a nice truck! Really like the wheels and paint, and that it an Autocar. Saw many similar trucks running in eastern Kentucky coal fields over the last 30 years. Great build!

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Wow! Can't get over the quality of the metal work. Being able to weld aluminum is a great plus, especially when done by such a skilled craftsman. The truck looks great.
