Haha, no problem Steve. I went through that trying to find them a couple of years back. Couldn't find any either at first until I tried different wording.

I did some brass work with the exhaust system. I think most of you guys would do these with 3D printer, but as I don't own one yet, brass it is

Nice brass work. Making something for this build on a 3D printer would almost be a crime! I know you are having difficulties with the hood. So a printed part there would be justified.

I totally agree with Lynn, your skills are far beyond 3D printing, the brass work is amazing!

Hi guys
I threw the electronics to the still unfinished A40 and made this test drive video.

Are you sure you just didn't shrink a 1:1 machine? It's just so scale looking.

I took the A40 and the 374 excavator outside and thought that I make a little loading and unloading video, but that did not go as planned. First I blew the oil return hose on the 374 (again) and a little bit later the planetary gear unit on the A40 tear down it self The bogie axles are in a quite side stress when doing tight turns on heavy load. I was doing a tight turn on a concrete surface and I noticed that the bogie wheels tends to "fall under", if you guys know what I mean. And soon after that one wheel with the hub came off. Apparently the planetary gear outer hub is only press fitted
No real damages done, but I'm a bit worried will the hub stay in place after I push it in, maybe I use some retaining compound.

What I did to fix the planetary gear problem was I tig welded few spots on the end of the drive shaft, so that the planetary gear hub can't move outwards.

I should have realized that when I was making the axles, but I didn't

Hey awesome work!! Really!! Do you have a vacuum table? I see the mat material and I know one of the companies uses that material for vacuum fixtuerimg. If so do you like it? Been debating on vacuum vs outsourcing flat parts. Double sided tape has been working but pita to remove!!
