Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

Well, I can't take credit for the design since it's semi-accurate to the original. I don't envy the crazy people who have Stollies now, though. Keeping my Fiero running is nothing in comparison!

Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

Heh, thanks! It's not perfect by any means, flubbed a couple bits, and some I had to take liberties with. The crane, particularly, isn't exact, but like I said the cylinders (actuators) only come in...

Read first line :) There's a change you can make to Chrome to allow the pix.

The crane also rotates around 360*, reaches over the cab

Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

And then various money shots of playing with it (err, I mean, verifying functionality)

Unlike the PLS, where the crane can only reach about half of...

That's about it for photos of the build. Here's some of the final CAD work, split up into various sections:

Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

Also jumping around a bit, doing detail work, namely lights and shackles and such on the cab, and a winch because they're fun and cheap. That's the back end of the PLS up there, it gets its own shelf...

Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

Speaking of trial and error in geometry, the crane was another pain point. I've done a crane before on my PLS (HEMTT, whatever), but this one is shaped differently. I also wanted to try and stay as...

Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

This shows the longitudinal square driveshafts passing through bevel gears and held up on pillow blocks with bearings, and then the bevel gears at each wheel station and their pillow blocks. There's...

Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

The next engineering challenge was slipshafts at each wheelstation. I needed a really short driveshaft (CV joint, whatever you wanna call it) with just a bit of slip, but of course the RC driveshafts...

Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

The local plastic shop was limiting their days and hours due to COVID, so I 3D printed a bunch of parts for which I'd usually just go buy styrene sheet. In retrospect this was not ideal, but...

Re: 1:10ish Alvis Stalwart 6x6 high mobility carrier, wrongest of the wrong

So the first step was to throw together a CAD mockup to get an idea of size, sort out what tires would work for scale, etc:
