Joe , 3.3 :1 in the axles 2:1 in the drop box powered by 24v 2 speed dewalthammer/drill motor on 12V . I had an 18volt on it in the test vid . For me , I'm using what I have . I think It'll perform very well .

thanks guys I'm really pleased the way it's coming out considering I'm using scrapped material for it the axles are cut from stock for wrap around bumpers that was .125 " to short . the counter wieght is cut from a 1" plate we found on a job back in the early 90's left by pipeliners the drill motor is from a drill I thought I could use on job sites for instaling elc. conduit on concrete walls for elc. serv. without lugging the gen. around (big fail) . So instead of it sitting around collecting more dust , why not put it to real use . I still need to make up the spool carrier ( in steel ) that'll have to wait till I get done with alum. so I don't mix chips . I took a hit on 3 out of 4 55 gal drums full of chips because of it .

What sort of differential are you planning on using in this beaut Steve? I've been spending a lot of time on a design for a very small LSD for my loader build, but am thinking are they actually needed? With the weight these scale loaders end up, do they actually lift a wheel with open diff's? Sorry, just picking your brain here

Cheers

Glenn

" do they actually lift a wheel with open diff's " not sure what you mean here , Glen I'm using the hpi savage steel diffs out of a nitro truck . they seem to handle some abuse . only time will tell .

I took some time this weekend for myself to unwind to figure out what to do to solve a production issue on hubs so I made some more parts for the axles . when running 2'nd op in the mill for the spool carrier on the same jig that I use for hubs , it still f'n off any how it was a long night but I managed to save the carriers with a pressed in brass sleeve . well enough BS I did take some so so pics

rear axle assm.


front and rear axle assm.


carrier and axles






pivot assm. and parts






steel sleeve over alum. for better wear protection


thanks for lookin

Thanks Steve, yep, I'm using savage diff's too I'm trying to contain the conversion in a standard savage diff casing so I can retro fit at a later date.

Very nice looking axles!

Wow, Steve. The axles are incredible. Beautifully machined scale replicas. I drool everytime I see something like this. CNC is amazing.

yea there a big 1 Neil , I use to get loaded by a 992 with a spade nose in an old coal pit where they were crushing the lime stone over burden . 1 corner of the bucket 12ton for my lil 12' box . was something to see a tire higher then my cab

fixed my wheel jig thought I would never use this





10" face mill that came with the machine heavy as heck so you set it on the table and bring the spindle down to it
