Greg How did you manage to get that picture. I thought that I had it in stealth mode. Thanks for the shot.
Jason Thanks for the comments. Build is on hold for a while as my friend just passed away and I'm Executor of his will. What a learning experience. Will get back to the build when things slow down a little.

Rob
Sorry to hear about your friend.

Is there room in the trunk of that car for hauling your R/C's?

Jordy The guy I bought it off said the he could get two ten speeds in there, but I'm not going to try it. They'd be in pieces for sure.

With a ride like that who needs a ten speed
Nice car

Yesterday Greg, Lou, Reg and I were putting on a show in Port Alberni. There was a nice little cable hoe and here are some pictures.




Nice little machine and would make another great model more pictures to follow.

Hey Rob, that's something different, noticed you posted that jack leg photo first. Never seen that set up before! Thank's, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

It looks like you had great weather for the show. Take any video of the activity? Thanx for posting the pics.

[steamer]

Thanks Joe. We're finally getting some summer weather and Port Alberni was very warm, It has it's own little micro climate being stuck between the two mountains. As far as video goes every time I started the camera all the activity stopped, so it just looks like a still shot. Probably Lou or Greg might have some that they'll put up.

That truck looks pretty big Rob. If only you knew someone with a big enough excavator to load it....

Thanks for the email

Bring it down here to Pennsylvania. I think we can load it in a timely fashion.

[Lil Giants]

Happy Birthday Rob.

Good work on the Mammoth!

Is it still 4wd? Will you be using the rack & pinion to tip the bed? (it's got some great lifting power, just not enough stroke) How much wider is the bed from the original?

[steamer]

Thanks Neil.
Reg. I'm hoping that there both finished up at the same time.
Joe. TNT Lou was doing some house cleaning, so you've all ready drove this one. Over all the truck is 24" long 12" high 15" wide. She's still 4WD and the lift is being replaced with two Wedico pumps and I'm going to make two stage cylinders to do the lifting. Each cyl will have it's own pump so I think it will have lots of lift power.
Steve, I'm sure you will be able to fill it very quickly with the drag line, it's just to bad we're all so far apart.

Very nice truck!! What material is it made of? It must be really big if you have room for-2-hydraulic systems. My 777D is 1/30th scale but there is no way hydraulics will fit inside. Nice work

[Vanisle]

Nice conversion Rob. I like your fabrication work incorporating the styrene. So what are you going to use to load it?
