Hosing nightmare!!!!

[Hemi1966]

I got the hoses pretty much hidden, however the mess is at the back of the machine now.

It's an incredible level of mastership that you offer to us! When I'm thinking of all the machining work, planning, designing and everything it involves, I'm speechless... Great great job! Thanks to share!

Now what did you do to pair up all the hoses at the back? Tape them together...

What size tubing is it? 1.5mm throughout?

I taped the hoses together. The inside diameter of the tubing is 1mm.

Ari,

I've been following your project, I have to say that perfection is expectable that you realize the project. Congratulations!

In cutting blade you used linear guide which model was it?

Thank you,

Carlos

Great video! You've got to be really happy and proud of your work up to this point. This is amazing, and great to see the model moving under it's own power. The turning radius looks great, for it being so long.

[Lil Giants]

Other than tires, bolts & other miscellaneous bits, you've built everything to this point, well done Ari!

Are you making your own pump & valves too?

Hey awesome looking build! I have been following it since the start and it always keeps getting better! just wondering though, where did you get the tubing you used for the hydraulics?

Thanks, and keep up the sweet work!

Thank you so much! I sent a e-mail for a quote but I had to use a translator so I hope it makes sense to them :/

I love looking at this thread every time there is an update. This is just like eye candy. The dash looks great and very clean. I do have to ask though, what did you use for the pedals or did you mill the ribs into the brass?

I couldn´t find any ribbed plate, so I had to mill the pedals from 1mm thick brass.

Hi guys, just got my internet connection up and running, my modem was broken It took me almost a week to get it working

During the past week I got the hydraulics working, and made few driving videos.
I will uppload those soon

That hydraulic system is mind boggling to me. Must be confusing making sure the correct tube goes where it's supposed to go. If you didn't already say in the past may I ask; What motors are you using? Reduction? RPM? torque output?
