Default Wa 500 Rebuild

Recently purchased a Stahl Loader , my first piece of rc equipment, from a great member of the board. It operated great although i didnt like a few things about it and decided to tear into it to learn how it works and fix a few things at the same time. Its turned into a slight redesign since i started. So heres some pics of where im at so far.

















Digging for screws..at this point im pretty sure im not using these parts again..

















Blasted some parts



Cutting some new arms from 3/16" plate. Added 1/2" to front length to raise the bucket height a little.



Plasma cutter, my favorite tool. Free hand cuts.





Dusted both sides of the arms to get them flat.





Making the front axle mount. Made it from round stock so i could bore the ID to contour the Diff.
