Re: rc4wd 870k loader
I got that new version and yes, it does not have the fan. Also, I think maybe the battery compartment is a different size now. It seems to allow more standard sized batteries.
I bought this one,...

Re: Bruder Mack Half pipe dump truck
Hi RcBruder!
I think you will be fine with running all three motors on the same speed controller. I run four on the same controller in my version.
For inspiration you could have a look at my...

Re: What vertical mill to buy?
I have a 14" by 25" table (K2CNC KT-2514S) and that has been large enough for all the RC stuff I've wanted to do.

Re: Nylint michigan crane conversion, hopefully
As an alternative, for the slew and pinon gears, maybe you could use something like this:

- Slew: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161891095040
