It's kinda sad to see this thread not updated regularly anymore, you have a lot of innovative ideas built with basic tools & good ol' fashion know how... hope to see you back 'er someday soon Andy, long overdue to see that tracked crusher in action.

hi Joe,
yes way too long but with starting my new business running a small excavator and truck theres just not enough time in the day.

thinking really hard about employing someone to help me out so I can get some more family time and of course play time.
The crusher can move under its own power but I need to redesign the conveyors as there is not enough clearance underneath .
Just need to find 10 hours and she will be finished.

hope fully things will slow down in winter and I can finish it.

How’s it going Andy ? Haven’t seen you online in a while. Had any time to break out the rc’s ? Roadrunner looks and sounds great

sound card is now fitted and really happy with the polou motor.
can drive all day long with 5 plus kgs in the tipper.
I think the pump is straining a little ,but it still lifts at the same speed if its full or empty. don't know that that is normal?
just a quick test video

What RPM 12Vgear motor did you use?

[andyathome]

Hi all and merry xmas and a happy new year.
Im still around and even charged some batteries for a bit of a play, but that never happened.
things are getting more organised so i have some spare time in the day.
because its summer here Ive been getting around as much as i can in the roadrunner and doing a few hot rod shows.

Skeeter , from memory the geared motor in the dump truck was around the 30rpm
range.

cheers andy

Thank-You, sir for the info.

I have GRU in mine for now, but IDK if the other builds are worth the $$, when one could simply place a gear motor on it, & have the SAME effect for far less!

So glad these photos weren't lost. Love the changes the 4200 went through to become the monster it is today.
