Absolutely mad skills you have with that welder! I'm intrigued with that motor/gearbox setup - any more pictures of that small conversion?

Thanks. The roof was/is a little tricky and I'm not sure I have enough "dome" in it but it will do. I don't know who did the trans for sure(Heavy Duty maybe) as I got it in a trade. It has the motor swapped on backwards with a small reduction added using a jack-shaft. After some careful filing of the mounts it runs smooth and has reasonable speed using a 55 turn motor. It would be nice if it were slower but it seems to run about the same speed as my KH using a stock trans and 85 turn motor only it has a lot of power. The KH with 85T is horribly gutless.

I'm new to RC construction and found your YouTube site and enjoy your postings. You are a true craftsman and an artist. If it doesn't give away to many secrets, what is your welding setup? I am in awe of your work.

Thanks very much guys. I'm happy to share what little knowledge I have. I am afraid I am no expert and just learn as I go so my knowledge is limited. My welding setup is no secret either, it's just a Lincoln Precision 225 TIG. It came with a lame instructional video and boat load of patience.

I noticed the ribs on the doors, it looks like you soldered them on, or did you shape them with a bead roller? Either way they turned out great.

A small update. I spent the latter part of the afternoon and evening machining the rad and then bending up the hood. The hood still needs work but I had already been in the shop for too long and was hungry.lol
The rad started out as a piece of 4"x1/2". ![]() ![]() You might be wondering why I machined out so much of the core area but left some.... The answer is.... ![]() ![]() Then the hood ![]() ![]() Looking more like a truck now! ![]() |

Absolutely beautiful work! Hard to believe you just start out with a sketch on a piece of paper! Love the little details you've already put in place.
Respect! Stephan |
