1/10 Liebherr Excavator R 984 Litronic

Hi Folks,

long time passed by and for some reasons i couldn't work real much on the project. Hopefully this will change in the next weeks. Anyway, a little work was done. First I made some drawings for more lasered and waterjet cut pieces for doing the pipework on the boom. Parts are made from steel, brass and polyamid/ nylon.

First some parts for keeping the bolts in place. The bolts with the rings are screwed together. The main bolt takes a endcap and those parts clamps the ring - just simple. The locking assembly is screwed with m1.6 screws to the frame. For setting the thread at the right place I used some drilling jigs.

Next was some work on the motor housing. Drawings were made for lasercutting and bending. For welding I used a big chunk of aluminum to draw out the heat. After welding I did some filing work. The whole cover is screwed together, I won't use hinges for single opening the lids. In case I take of the whole mounting.
