Yes just fine. Had it down at the Frankfort toy show a month or so ago. Did just fine. Swapped out the swing motor for a slower unit. Designing the boon parts right now.

Hmmm, been hibernating most of fall winter. Have had the tubing and sleeves for the boom. Waiting on cable spools. Hydraulics made me water to hit it with a hammer so I gave it a rest.
It will be at the Lebanon show and of course Indy

Been a long winter with many distractiond, but with the help of a good couple friends getting the bug to build again.
So if some of this is repetitive - appologies. But this is where I am at.

Lift cylinders, another learning curve here. Thought that sir fittings were air tight right? Not so much. Have to replace the fittings, they leak.


Over all shot, not bad. Going to use an idea from a fellow member on the wheel inserts. Stock foam just way too soft and machine way too heavy. Craft foam sheets is where I am headed.


Boom sections -just finished bolting up. Need spools - friends are priceless.
Had to have the caps remade since I designed them too small the first time round.

Yes whole shelf and whole bench. Part of the reason why I bought a utility trailer for my rc's. She won't fit in the Envoy.

After mocking up the boom I set her on her feet. Wow, almost had rims string on the bench the tires were so squished. And that's with the stock foams.
So been asking around - see previous posts.
So This is what i did
Dissassembly,

Donor wheels with hard foam inserts
Slice part of the carcass off

Wrap 2 side by side in craft foam sheet - test fitted strip in side tire to get correct size. Had tried tires along but did not fill inside space.


And then squish it all inside. Good thing these tires are soft.
Then used clamps to clamp together.

After having had bolts fall out of these rims, I drilled out the 2.5 mm holes and put in 3mm screws, thread the outer shell to keep the stud look.
