Re: WELCOME TO THE ROCK FARM
This dual esc is good for track drives. The 'mix' can be turned off so the esc's can be used individually. This dual esc is quite compact & robust.
This battle switch is a good on/off relay by remote. Various motors, servos, electronic parts, ect Servo City |

I thinking of building 1/8 scale. That way I can fit this and an inverter in the engine compartment. No battery's! Matt |

Re: WELCOME TO THE ROCK FARM
1/8 scale should make it an interesting build

Re: WELCOME TO THE ROCK FARM
1/8 scale opens up a lot of possibility's down the road for other machines. Using the HF small gen as the power plant, would be nice not having the mess with battery's. It would also open up other options, for electrical servo mounted actuators, instead of Hyd systems. Run times would be as long as you want, or at least til the fuel truck shows up.
This would be pushing the limits of my lathe and mill on a few parts, But I think it is do able. Still looking at other options with the smaller 1:14 scale. Til I start making chips, It will still be up in the air. Getting a 350 lb 10 foot long machine in and out of the shop, poses for some defiant problems. I want to build some sort of crushing plant for sure. Right now still going over different scenarios. I might just do a stationary plant, and concentrate on RC/ing a Loader or a hoe, for feeding it. That way I could do the 1:14 scale, and use a off site electricity to power an entire plant, and run indoors if needed, like for a show or something. I'm sure if I did something like that, I wouldn't have a problem finding someone here that wouldn't mind feeding it with there machines. Just like anything I've done before, I run through all scenarios, head off in 10 different directions, till reality sets in, and figure the real game plan the day I start cutting metal. Sorry I got you all lost, I've find the way sooner or later Matt |

Re: WELCOME TO THE ROCK FARM
Could always do 1/8th scale with tracks and RC movement and just have a 110VAC pigtail it drags around like the large mine shovels do.

Re: WELCOME TO THE ROCK FARM
I like your idea. I know where you're coming from with a 10' long 350# machine to move. I have you beat 13' long 300+#
I think electric would be the best. then you could run indoors. Dust maybe a problem though may need a water mist to tame it and we could feed that plant with our machine. |

Re: WELCOME TO THE ROCK FARM
You could always use car batteries, marine batteries that would last longer than a tank gas & you wouldn't have the NOISE!
I hope you decide on a jaw crusher, then you could make two while you're at it. |
