Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Using the hand controls and your feet is sorta like jumping on one leg patting your head and rubbing your stomach then in reverse at one time Tom:D

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Re: Dragline Crawler Build
Hey Jim, Have you thought about powering the carbody through the center pin like the 1:1 machine? One motor bevel gear then make sliding jaw clutches to engage each track disengaged with a servo...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Tom, It's way nicer operating sitting up high. I have some cheap wheels I put on the bottom that can raise the whole platform up and be able to push around. I haven't tried them yet because I need...

Trial and error till you get the correct setting. I would guess about 20V with .030'' wire. You'll need to fool with the wire speed & voltage on scrap metal. Start an arc and play with the wire...
