you know i thought of doing that to.... might of been alot easyer! and nicer looking. but wanted a 1/14 scale truck to go with my other rigs. i'm kind of weird about the scaling of my trucks i took it apart this evening and going to at lease prime the parts tomorrow at work. i want to use Mathews paint.
its really strong and takes a beating.

[cosworth34677]

well got it painted and and made a new cab working on fender guards and railing

Paint looks good, seems like it has lots of power as well. Nice job!

[cosworth34677]

did some more work on the loader, made some railings and new rear fenders, replaced the little cables on the steps with chains and a seat and control sticks. ya i know there are two control sticks but, i've seen some loader with steering wheels and others with control sticks for steering. i've also seen them with both at the same time? i don't know it may not be scale but looks neat and fills up the cab.

next step better steering servo and two new valve servos, i may get two new cylinders for lifting the arm. but we'll see what extra cash i have this weekend

The loader looks really good. I would of thought you would need a stonger servo for steering. I'm glad you shared that as I'm building a john deere articulating tractor and was going to go with a servo that puts out around 500oz. Keep the updates comeing and let's see some video of it in the dirt.

Im impressed, thats a cool build and it looks awesome.
what cylinders are you using, and where did you get them.

Nice job on the loader. In the video you mentioned the hydraulic pump was for a plane fuel system. Who makes the pump and are there different sizes? What about the valves?

thanks.

ya it was for a old turbine, a friend of mine had. that engine long since die but the pump he gave to me. i changed the fittings to 1/16 fittings so it would work with my magom hrc valves. the pump was tiny so it works well with the magom stuff in fact looks and bulit just like there pump, almost like they took one of the airplane pumps apart to see how it was made, and copied it(not saying they did,) the only differents is the magom pump is a lot stronger, and the airplane pump has steal gears inside instead or brass, i don't know the brand, it came to me in a box of bits he was throwing out

Great job! That's not a small project by any means, looks good. I wish there were more options for construction vehicle tires out there to be used on projects like this.

Great job, looks amazing

i've been slowly coverting the biggger styrene parts ti metal, i'll try to get some pic when it get the front fenders done.

Very nice,

Great job! I like your keep it simple/available, frugal approach. Still looks and works great. Do you have any pictures of the steering arrangement? Also, how thick are the lift arms? Apart from the plastic bits you are using Aluminum, correct?

[cosworth34677]

yep its all aluminum, and the sub frame arm and supports are .125 -1/8" thick.
little harder to work with but worth it in the end, really built and beefy .
sorry no pic's of the steering but really simple two arms on either side of the front
part of the frame to a servo in the center of the rear part of the frame and they are
on a double ended servo arm, and when one side pushes the other side pulls.

[Finster]

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Love this loader! Such a good, unique model! I have your video on my watch list, and I watch it nearly every day because it is what I want to happen with my loader in that I want it to be that satisfying and solid. Great job!
