NICE craftmanship. I liked making the cylinders, it's a good challange. Can't wait to see it working.

Elliot, did you ever finish your Bell? Get any paint on it?

Great display of agility for the truck. I figured you'd be done by now. Looks good, keep it up.

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

Looks like you came close to falling off a few times Elliot. I bet that heavy dumper would dent ground! :D

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

You're not wrong Joe... I am struggling to get used to driving a vehicle that bends in the middle and doesn't self center when you let go of the steering... like a RC car or truck does.... I need more time on the sticks I think. :o

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

Update!!!

The Bell has been stripped and is with the painter! Watch this space for reassembly.. one day :o

Pigfarmboy asked

Do the cylinders come pre-soldered in the kit form? You added the rear flap opening or that is kit supplied?

Hi, yes the cylinders come pre soldered but need to be assembled, I think you can order them in any format you want, given your skill level or budget. That goes the same for the entire kit, you can order is at a just laser cut pieces to a complete built and painted kit. Again, it depends on your skills and budget. I can't weld, so went for the welded version.

The tail gate flap is an optional extra. There are a few optional extras that are needed to make it a complete unit.

Are you thinking of one?

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

Yup thinking of doing a 40D. Thanks Elliot!

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

Looking forward to see the build up, what color did you go for? :)

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

Thanks Kalle - you're thread inspired me to actually strip it down and paint it... plus a friend up North in the UK also now has one and his is painted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsIiw...UjfvvnTdA990I8

Colour wise, I asked the painter to try and get it as close as possible to original Bell Yellow.

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

Thanks for that link, I'm considering welding one up myself. Just drooled on myself looking at the outrunner motors with gear reductions.... :P

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

In that case, definitely speak to Frank, I'm sure he'll happy to send you the laser cut pieces for you to weld etc.


Yep, I was looking at them as well... not sure how you would connect 6 x 3 phase motors together. :confused: Think I need to speak with Frank to see what he recommends.

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
 

Great that i could be to some help for you! :) Hope it turns out good for you!
