Thanks Ap40.

The bench is from Costco(I forget the make but can look). They had them after xmas but sold out really fast. When I seen that they had them again I had to get one before they were gone. It was $400 before taxes($30 more than the last time they had them).

The Euclid got some mirrors today! How long do you think they will last?lol

I put together a little video showing all the build photos from this one. Since building this truck my selection of tooling has improved quite a bit. Looking at the pictures makes me appreciate that but also miss the extra space in my shop!

Reg, I enjoyed the pictorial review. Had forgotten about some of the details and was re-fascinated to see them. Such a neat project and excellent workmanship!

Love that Euclid. There is one in Twisp belongs to Lloyd Logging not sure of the year it's still being used occasionally. Have to stop and check it out sometime. you sure was right this stuff is addictive. Guess I knew that from scale rc plane days. technology sure has advanced tho I'm lost about half the time Maybe I can learn.

If you stop by to check it out please take some pictures! I am a big fan of Hi-Lite green!

I had the old truck and my excavator out this afternoon for a few minutes. I first had to fix a drive motor in the Volvo that I broke months ago. The part has been sitting in the cupboard for quite some time but I hadn't got around to swapping it out. Anyway, I only hauled a few loads but it was fun to step away from the small scale stuff for a bit.

Videos to follow eventually...

Dang reg!!! It really is a work of art!! And the best part of these is we get to play with them!! I started backpedaling and just thought I would add to your motor problem. I found out if those ferrite rings (chokes) don't fix any interference with motor/servos/radio and you are using a brushed motor in any of this stuff just solder a capacitor from neg to pos motor terminals. I forget what muf's but all it does is eliminate a lot of the electrical noise from a dc brushed motor wreaking havoc on rx stuff. Had same problem in my springer tug boat, looked up what to use and completely eliminated twitches and esc problems.

Thanks RW. The problem I was having seems to have been fixed by removing the power wire from the second esc.

Here's the videos from yesterday...

[DADSGARAGE]

haha.....just looked at the date of your post....well umm still looked like a nice day to have some fun...

[RCP57]

Haha, it doesn't look that good today trust me. The compound is flooded!lol Lots of green though. The old truck is just like the real deal. No frills, no glam, just keeps working away. She's a good old girl.
