Default CAT 966K XE

Hey everyone,

Well after a long hiatus from the RC world due to working and completing post secondary I am finally at a place where I can get back into it. Some of you may know of my build from about 4 years ago that can be found here:

http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...ead.php?t=3260

Decided to use some of the parts from that build in the new one but also I have re-designed almost all of it by the time its done haha. Anyways I am planning to build a 1:14 CAT 996K XE wheel loader. I picked up a 1:50 model and began modelling everything in Solidworks to get the basic geometry down and then Ill be designing all the hydraulics and electronics for the system.



Ill try to keep the thread updated as often as possible with CAD design work and the metal work once I can get a lathe and metal mill



Also here's a picture of my electronics lab where Ill be trying to design all the systems for the loader By trade I am a Robotics and Mechatronics Technologist



If you have any questions Ill try to help answer them

Thanks!!
Chris
