CAT Grader in 1:14 with M-Series controls

[JensR]

Thanks guys!

The timelapse videos are of course only intended to give an idea how the terrain is changed by the grader.

I uploaded two new videos.
Here's the control of the grader:

And here's the driven front axle with wheel lean.

I think this is the first model of a motor grader that combines 6x6 and wheel lean
I wanted to do this straight from the start, but did not find motors short enough.
Took quite a bit of CAD to get the dimensions right - plus my jigsaw complained about the 10mm aluminium...
Looking forward to giving this a whirl in the dirt!

Cheers

Wow! Now this is slick! I'm totally blown away with the radio configuration! But then again, The whole machine is SWEET!
Nice job!

Thanks again

I was at the beach, testing the new driven front axle - works very well.
But then the steering servo stopped working. It came back to life for a few seconds later. Not sure what happened.
I finished the day steering with just the articulation.

Back home I managed to squeeze in a standard-size servo.

I made a video, too.

Not as good as some of the stuff I see around here, but hopefully still fun to watch.

Best wishes
Jens
