Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
Carl that thing is going to be such a beast. What axles are you going to be running on it?

I will have to shorten the axle shafts, byt its the challange in it. I will start making a pattern for casting the axle housings in the morning. Still don't know what to do for the front leaf springs. I want to stay close to scale, but may have to compramize. If I could find some blued 1/4" annealed spring steel, I would make them myself. I found some at McMaster Carr, that is 60$ I only need 32 inches worth. So if ya know a supplier that will supply short lengths, I am all ears. Took this beast up to the hospitle to show my Dad, he was impressed. (first time in 53 years) Now he wants out so he can turn the rims. |

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
Thanks, to bad I never kept one of the wooden ones for myself. Maybe the next one, but the RC bug has bitten again and it may be a while.

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
Carl,
I have been reading thru your thread and it is awesome, this truck is on my list of trucks to build once i get two others finished. What thickness aluminum are you using for your suspension brackets. I hope when I get the M26 done to start on one of these thank you for sharing. Merritt

Re: Oshkosh Het M1070, M1000
Merritt, the brackets and frame rails are 1/16" thick. Basiclly standard extruded alumnium cut to shape and finished with a file.
I am still learning about how to build them. So far so good, changed my mind about casting the axle housings(it would cost more that the truck itself). So now I am awaiting some flat stock alumnium. These axles are designed to use Tamiya's diff setup. Thanks for looking. Carl |

I thought about that also, just haven't located some. I will have to look in the scrap bin when I pick up my order from AAA supply. |
