Re: Magom 973 Track Loader

Got the loader up and going the other day. I haven't taken it outside in the dirt yet but I will plan on getting some video when I do. I ended up using a sabertooth 2x15 controller for the motors,...

Re: Magom 973 Track Loader

Re: Anybody use the Tamiya actuator kit for a tipping mechanism?

Re: Lesu Liebherr 574 loader kit build

As temperature in the system goes up and down you will want the tank to vent both directions so I don't think you would want a check valve in there. I know some full size vents will be ran into a...

Re: Lesu Liebherr 574 loader kit build

That is strange there is no setscrew on that pinion gear! Did you use some 603 loctite or anything for a little extra grip?

Re: Mack R Model - By Izzy
