Re: Wedico Tank Trailer.Complete Rebuild.

Nice project!
Did the Wedico come with the 4 bottles inside the tank or were they added? Do you have a picture of the drain valves for the tanks?
I've had ideas to do something like that with the...

Re: servoes

I've always been a Futaba guy, but decided to try some Toward Pro's off of Ebay. Cheap, metal gear, high torque, and digital, haven't really used them a lot but happy so far.

Re: Brushless motor and ESC

Get the Goat with the 21.5 than instead of 18.5. Plus brushless motors are rated by KV, basically how many RPMs the motor will turn per given volt. So you could feed it 6V instead of 7.2v for example...

Re: What goes in between

While probably quite a bit more than what you guys spend for motors, you should check these out from Holmes Hobbies. The 5 slot armature should offer superior slow speed control and plenty of torque...

Re: What goes in between

With a decent ESC and a good motor, low speed shouldn't be a problem.

Re: My big expensive disappointment

That would be awesome, being in the hobby who know what scale truckers need better than scale truckers.
Plus with a group working on them it shouldn't be too much burden on any one individual. Screw...

Shoot, with the combined resources and capabilities of this forum, a group of you should be making trailers, by truckers for truckers!

Re: This is a tough one, so bear with me

Man, even though I don't know you, that's hard news to get and always hard to hear about from forum members.
