KOMATSU Excavator from Malaysia

Wow, that thing will be huge. What would the scale dimensions be on that dump truck? Your excavator is an incredible piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing.

When you do the 960E truck, the drive line can be very prototypical - a traction motor in each rear wheel assembly and electrically driven! That will be one large toy. What do you have in mind for getting tires? I've looked at doing a Komatsu HD785 truck (100 ton) in 1/14 scale, but have not found any tires that are close to diameter/width combination. Anyway, enjoying the excavator build and looking forward to the truck.

Ken,
I need a big and powerful drive-terrain/planetary gears here, still designing...size will try to come head to head with my Excav, at 1:14 scale, the length will be slight more than 1 meter, and 0.6meter in height I think..maybe slightly smaller than this, as to match all other gadgets...tires...i will custom made here, Tom (Thx Mr MODELMAN) had given me the info on the Si-Rubber mfgr, and i got the quote for the material i need, right now, to come up with the mold..before i order them, or second choice is to customize them as per my existing Volvo Dump Truck..(solid rubber and hand cut the thread)..

Hi there,
Being thinking over the ratio here, if to match my 1:10 scale excavator, the dump truck will be out-sized my excav, so i'm planning for 1:14 or 1:16, so they both can 'play' together, i hope..
