Re: Great Dane excavating co.
I got the trailer rx/tx working and fail safes set so I was onto the dumptruck to change out turnigy radio gear to my frsky. Trying to streamline things with really only having two radios. Instead of unhooking everything I figured I would just work on one at a time. When it came time for the axle locking servo I didn't realize it was under stress and was playing with settings trying to get it on the switch I wanted. Smelled something, yup that unforgettable magic smoke smell. Next thing is see is the magic smoke!! That darn little servo was cooking!! Really cooked it melted casting, and was smoking pretty good for a micro servo. Before I could disconnect things I burnt both bec's on the motor esc and dump bed esc!! Don't need the dump esc to have a bec anyway. But had another hk $10 esc so had to get solder stuff out and redo what I had to. Took all the linkages off things on the second go and now I only have to get the three axle locker cables set for servo throw and should be done with dumper. (Few little things, mud flaps,,,). Moral of story, unhook linkages, ect when installing new stuff
 . I knew that just didn't do it!! Also moved the gas tanks back about 1/4" because fron tires would rub when turned whole way. But have everything set with fail safes (model match) so switching from one to another is just staying put in the lounge chair (again with beverage holder for those weekends down working at river with cold beer!!)   And these are the extral springs tempered installed in the Aeromax hauler.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Will do soon as I may be ban to the garage for a while
. I had to move some material today with skid steer and home is just a short distance so I dropped off a small pile of cracker dust (screenings) in the garage. Some play time !! As long as it doesn't turn into a giant litter box- will have to get the air soft rc tank out if the cats want to dig in my sandbox!!

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
The combo pictures look good, I guess I didn't realize how short that tractor is. Not sure how you'll get it to turn when a 1:1 that short doesn't like to turn with the rears unlocked. Will the dozer fit on the trailer?

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Springs are about perfect for the excavator load, they aren't bottomed but sprung. But when unloaded the truck is pretty rigid.
I'm going to wait till I can get outside on some real ground to see how it turns. If the trailer is enough weight unloaded I may unlock both axles and see how it works in the dirt. Thinking it will get stuck like before. But if I have to I can put the locker axles in. I didn't want to use them for this but if I don't I'll probably have them for years by keep saying I'm saving them for something else.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Gotta see how the d11 makes the truck act lol. I have a cascadia that I plan to make tri drive but is currently just a twin drive with both axles locked right now. Surprisingly it seems to turn tighter then before.

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Haha big mark!! I got more fiddle time in mine!! Lol!!
Here's the big guy being pulled by the lil guy!! I had the front tires filled with bb's , as many as could possibly fit, but when I tried to turn sharp load with d11 they just rolled off rims. This may be a case for the bead lock rims. http://youtu.be/oTcXiPWJxP4

Re: Great Dane excavating co.
Oops, it was a mess up not big mark, but bigford or mark!! Got both duhh
. I tried to slow things down with limiting amount of valve travel (end points). Have to set some expo in the swing yet to smooth the initial part out. I oblonged the holes in the swing motor mount to get a little tighter mesh. That may just be a temporary solution and cause more wear.
