Default Re: CAT Grader in 1:14 with M-Series controls

Thanks guys!

The timelapse videos are of course only intended to give an idea how the terrain is changed by the grader.

I uploaded two new videos.
Here's the control of the grader:

And here's the driven front axle with wheel lean.

I think this is the first model of a motor grader that combines 6x6 and wheel lean
I wanted to do this straight from the start, but did not find motors short enough.
Took quite a bit of CAD to get the dimensions right - plus my jigsaw complained about the 10mm aluminium...
Looking forward to giving this a whirl in the dirt!

Cheers
Jens
