Another KAT on the prowl

[JAKEBRAKE]

Nice upgrades Rob!! Will you use the RC4WD radio for this machine or just a standard?

I did got the new slewring but the pinion takes up most of the space. That rc4wd slipring is huge. I ordered the one from Germany.

Jake: I'm going to use my Airtronics, it has all the mixing features i want for the pump operation.

Hey Rob you rdoing an excellent job on this, im interested to know how strong that new slew bearing from china is? would it be suitable for a bigger machine? are the gear teeth metal or plastic?

cheers

Here are several pics of the new slewringw with and w/o the pinion and slipring.











The new ring teeth are made of metal.

Well, I think i have figured out the slip/slew ring problem that has been plaguing the KAT. The pics will explain.

I cut and shortened the rc4wd slip ring down to a workable height










I bored out the diameter of the slew ring to fit the diameter of the slip ring. This not fits atop the slip ring.
