Default Re: Moxy articulated dump truck

I was looking at the 58 rpm ( Lou sent me a link) motors for more speed but I'm not sure I need it. The tires will be ordered tommorow, and I'll make some decisions about the motors soon.
I was also thinking of a 17 rpm 277 ounce motor to use on the screw drive for the dump box.
I guess I'll have my lunch hours at work filled for the next while making parts and pieces. I have 2 chucks for small parts I can put in and take out of the shop lathes in a hurry without disturbing the work piece.
I also think we just got in 20' of 2 1/2" round aluminum for stock. It's 6061L and is fairly free machining so I'll start knocking out some rims with planetary covers.
