I got myself a pair of 3D joysticks to control the hydraulic grading bucket a little better, its night and day from what I had erlier, I only got one wired up for now becuse I got no function for the other one yet.

Thanks guys!

I also made some steel hose protection the other day, a trick I took from a German guy, simply steel wire turned on a steel rod using the electric screwdriver, turn on as tight as you can then pull out to the desired length. Cheep and looks great!

Looking good...

Where did you get the 3d sticks?

Well, winter is here, more time for hobby stuff for me, always fun!

I have modified the undercarrige a little on the 470, its a few things that have bugged me since the first time I used it outside.
Its the holes under the top rollers, where all kind of debris gets in, and its not the place where you want sand, small rocks and stuff like that becuse thats where the drivemotor is and also the track tension mechanism, debris also gets down onto the lower rollers that way and locks them up sometimes.

And I have to take this apart quite often to get rid of all the dirt that builds up in there to make everything running smoothly.

So I started to make a sketch in Solidworks on how I could make it work, found a pretty good solution I think.

Started to cut up the steelplate with the holes in it, removing 5mm from the outer plate to get an angle on the new topplate so that dirt rather falls off the undercarrige then just load up.

Got the new steel from my laser cut man and started to spot weld everything together today, turned out pretty good I think, its more to scale and should keep dirt out of moving parts!


Here is some pics of the progress...

Here you can see the square holes im talking about.










Here is with the new parts mounted.

Nifty alteration Kalle, hope it cures your ales with the rocky areas you dig in.

Not much digging with the 470 lately, now fall is here and winter is coming, so I have started a little attachment project.

Its a rotortilt, very common here in Sweden and the nordic countries around. So I started in Solidworks to sketch it up, I have only used SW for about a year, so im no professional.

I have printed a prototype in my 3D printer and it seems to work out pretty good, motor I have for rotation right now is a bit slow but will probably change that later.
The tilting action will be hydraulic.
It will also feature a remote controlled quick coupler for easy attatchment changes.

If it works good I will send the files to a cnc guy to mill them out for me, the lower part will be made from steel and the part above from aluminum.

Here are a few pics.

Nice drawing, good to check out dimensions with printing before adding a lot of cost CNC milling the parts.

Thx!

Exactly, great for prototyping, but can be made really strong as well, but plastic is plastic, I prefer metal for strength and realism.

Great to see you at your workbench again dreaming up new ideas for model enhancements Kalle

Thanks Joe, yeah, as of now I find it more fun to build then run it, I think I just need a project to dig, can't just go out and dig a hole, I want to do something.

I did see your reply on YouTube, maybe I will CNC it, but this rotortilt isn't something for your hard digging!
This is made for more precise type of work, grading, slopes, backfilling etc.
