Default Re: Let The Build Begin!

Been working in this thing here and there in SolidWorks updating it and correcting errors from what I have learned in school so far. Isn't completely dead just in the middle of a re-vamp I guess you could say.

Chassis has been changed to 1/8" plate that is all slip fit, then will be TIG welded, re-worked all pivot points to use a proper bushing setup, Re-worked the axle mount.

This is also on the list to be updated:
cylinders
possible suspension
electronics
pump
valves
pressure release
body
oil cooler
battery setup
possible Aruduino based custom radio ~ basically un limited channels
chassis will continue to be updated

When that is all done at some point i will get all the plates laser or water jet cut and then TIG weld them into a assembly.

Hydraulics are my largest challenge right now as i want them to function perfectly.



Hope I haven't been forgotten!!
