You may want to incorporate some brass bushings within your pivot points for reduced wear & easier movement... like oilite bushings in the Tamiya kits would work great.

What's the reduction on your chosen axles? You may need to add a planetary reduction to the motor to propel those massive tires. I'm sure you're aware of the choices offered by RC4WD.

A great start on what I'm sure will turn out to be a mighty hauler.

Thanks for your compliment and suggestion!!! ;-) Wow, you could tell that it's undergroud hauler, u r very bright!!! Yes, I've been trying to make it look like the CAT AD45B but change it around n claim it my own creation
As you noticed most parts r from RC4WD, so what do you recommend for the planetary reduction to the motor? Thanks again!!! Can I get your name?

Thanks y'all for nice wording!! I'm trying to get it running one day but unsure when. I get busier after started my own business, moreover my wife n I r expecting a baby girl, this will be our second child!!! We have a 5 year old boy, and he keeps asking me when he can play with this dump truck? I told him it'd be his Christmas present for the last two years. But,
It's great to know y'all!!!
Thanks for looking!!!
