Scania R 4x4 dump truck
 

It's been a long while since I started a new build. This truck will be made up of a lot of parts I've got laying around. But, as always, I had to make some supplement purchases :rolleyes:

Not decided on the electronics yet, but the drivetrain and tipp motor will be from Servonaut. I'll make my own dumper.

Nice start, where did you get the rear axles with Diff lock from

Re: Scania R 4x4 dump truck
 

Der Getribdoktor in Germany.

Re: Scania R 4x4 dump truck
 

What's the output rpm of the Servonaut running gear? Would it be similar to 2nd gear in a tam 3spd?

I had those same lockable diffs from Der Getribdoktor in my white 6wd GL, I blew out 4 or 5 spider crosses in the middle axle in a yr... it was great feature to have, but a steel spider cross is necessity for longevity.

thanks for the info

here is a link to the Der getriebedoktor in Germany

egronvold I had a bit of a job searching on Google, but found it after using several different spellings of the shops name
http://shop.der-getriebedoktor.de/topangebote.php

That's the site. It's in English as well: http://shop.der-getriebedoktor.de/ai...ble-locks.html

This setup is 450 RPM 12V. They have other options too. Strong and scilent :)

As for the axles, did you talk to the driver? Might be some abusive driving... ;)

It really is a lovely project, I hope to see more, even a video of it in operation would be great.
Thanks JD :-)

Could you tell me what transfer case you have connected to the geared motor, I tried searching for it but didn't find one that looked like that.

Re: Scania R 4x4 dump truck
 

It's a Servonaut combo. Mine, I believe, is the 450 RPM @12V version.

We had awesome weather during the weekend. Clear skies and crisp air. Found the time do do some painting :)
