Great to hear that the 2x60 is serving you well. I have a 2x25 for track drive controller in the 80lbs JD850 hoe, never a moments trouble in 5yrs.

Your wheel loader project off to a great start.

picture of front motors. the third motor in the middle is the servo motor

don't let the ugly pics hurt your eyes.
most parts are used...(scrap)
the front base is a riding lawnmower frame with 1/4 inch added

[onadplanebill]

rear motors sit on scrap bearings from the wheel chair
pivot points are also from wheel chair

one battery at the rear and another low in the middle
wanted to keep center of gravity low.

This big stuff is just great! It makes me want to get started on something of my own but time isn't an my side at the moment. Keep the build pictures coming!

I keep seeing your hand tools laying on hood or nearby and realize just how big she is!! This is an inspiration for me to possibly jump to the big scale and make so,etching that I could actually do some work with.

the roof was a lawn mower seat bracket cut in half and widened
only simple hand tools in use . where there is a will there is a way
thanks for the comments

more foam before steel
that is a 48 tooth #40 chain sprocket. the servo motor(wheel chair motor and gearbox) is further reduced and linked here

the steering esc is a sabertooth with a kangaroo added. had to add an encoder to the end of the motor.

my average mess per part

Would a 2-4 yr old kid fit in the cab?

pic of steering wheel
my kids building set parts and a wooden bracelet


no way on a kid fitting.. if were 2 foot tall would fit in the skidsteer
14 to 15 inch figure will fit the loaders scale
