Re: Hoarder Special!

Re: Hoarder Special!

I have been wanting to do this for a while but just haven't made the time. My mill is down again and...

Re: Hoarder Special!

Yeah it's crowded. The trans is both lifted and moved forward about 3/4"-1". I don't know if that could have been done without the motor being flipped around on top of the trans. One thing I can say...

Re: Hoarder Special!

Yes it's fairly low geared for sure. For spreading water it could be even slower but it's good enough. The worst part now is all of the slop in in the driveline. With all of the reductions and...

Re: Hoarder Special!

Thanks a lot guys. I'm not sure what the reduction is ahead of the trans. I think I was told it's around 4-1 but I honestly never actually counted the teeth. I believe the motor is a 55t and then the...

Re: Hoarder Special!

It's been a long time but this thing has slowly received some upgrades and changes. AWD with Lesu axles, suspension, T case, tires and wheels. Sound unit, windows(ish), a clean up of the wiring ect....

Re: Hoarder Special!

Thanks Shaun! Your build is making me want to try my luck with styrene but I've never used it so it's out of my comfort zone. Maybe one day...

Re: Hoarder Special!

Thanks Mario. The sound unit will come. I just have to finish all of my other jobs first! Maybe instead of weed killer I could use fertilizer and drive around on the lawn?



Thanks! My sifted...

Re: Hoarder Special!

Re: Hoarder Special!

I could make them but I don't really want to put in the effort and then still have plastic diffs. It will stay the way it is for now.

Re: Hoarder Special!

It turned out pretty cool. Not sure about a cap for the air
