Default Gradall XL5100 V 1/14 Scale 3D Printed

So I build this XL5200 (The tracked version) earlier this year. Being a first design it had a few problems, but with some redesigned parts in CAD it still has a few quirks but overall is pretty reliable.

So looking to further approve the design I'm building a XL5100 (This is the carrier mounted version) also I wanted a painted model but I'm too lazy to disassemble the 5200 but willing design and build a carrier from scratch




Some CAD views of the carrier and upperstructure (Still a work in progess)








Let's start this build with a good chassis. It's 6x6 with locking differentials and walking beams to handle the upperstructure, the frame rails are cut down king hauler rails the axles, transfer case and planetary gearbox are lesu.










I'm trying to hopefully complete it to show at cabin fever. I will keep the updates coming.
