Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck

I'm looking forward to running it, it's quiet and smooth but it looks a little slow. It's 165 RPM@ 12V I'll try it but will probably go with the next RPM which is 300+. For the near future this thing...

It's a quarry truck Mario, how many have you seen without scars? :D I'd like to bring it up and run it in your pit someday, it'll move a lot of product! :cool:

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck

I didn't say a thing, in fact the battle scars I was referring to were the ones I put on it rolling it on its side a time or three, and was having fun doing it!:p:p
