Re: Cat 777D Mining Truck
Wow, the frame and axle setups are great! Ingenious method of mounting and suspending the drive motors - and really nice work on the steering pieces. I hope you can find suitable springs - the axle movement under load would look good and let the truck keep tires on ground over uneven road. Hard to imagine the smaller size of all that machinery you have in there. How 'bout a soda can or something in a future picture, for size comparison? Lookin' nice!

Re: Cat 777D Mining Truck
Very impressive Tom, and the most impressive part is that you made everything but the motors. Those wheels look great.

Re: Cat 777D Mining Truck
My first reaction was "it's way to short!" but when the box and cab/hood is on it'll be just right I imagine. I like the suspension setup. I don't know about your part of the country, but around here Ace Hardware has a pretty extensive spring selection.
