Interesting truck indeed.
Can you lay a rule or caliper on those right angle motors? I've been hunting
for a pair but they cant be any more than 40mm wide when placed back to back to fit down into my little project I was foolin with.

Wowzers! 4 of the big donnagers, you'll be doing some serious winching with them.

IDK how well the motors work....yet. I have them bolted onto the Bruder D11 conversion. EVENTUALLY, I'll get that project off my project bench(ES) & get it working.

BIGFORD I'm GLAD to hear that they are trouble free motors.

BO, THANKS fir the tip. I hadn't thought to open them to look. I definitely will be checking them, BEFORE placing the machine into service!

Very nice.

CTI actuators? Gear motor on each wheel?

Thanks ittigger ;o)
Now that's a very good question........wish i had a good answer to give. I like the CTI actuators, so i'm trying them. i also looking if there could be a hydraulic alternative. Drive motors might go in the wheels.......i got to ask how you like the ones in your haul trucks. I'll make the front part of the frame in steel sheets for adding weight and strength....thinking i'll pop a line of battery cells inside.......not much room for things.

Nice one Bo! Ive always loved graders. Not enough around!

Thanks Hostile.

Yes a grader is No 1 on my list for sure. a Ford might be outside the box......but i was outside the box all my life so i go with that........a different machine mathers too ;o)

Don't need the power of hyds for this type of machine & the CTI's will save you so much space. Do they each require an esc to operate? Maybe the actuonix would simply things even more

The brushed motors work great & only need one esc to run 4 motors. The rpm on 3s is about 110. The brushless ones each need an esc for each motor & travel 10-15% slower, more expensive too, a bit shorter in length.

Thanks Joe.
Good ideas / advice right there. I need a lot of power and low speed when grading or push with front blade or ripper in the rear. Have to do some torque test, it's a bit of dozer power needed to the wheels. I had one idea that required the hood to be extended a bit in length. a two speed gearbox and chain drive between the wheels like the real ones. well back at it and we see.....

Be aware, making "multi-trucks" might lead to the need to downsize the overall fleet

Ops ! did not think of that............ Must find a solution of that............

Did you try the frame rails yet ???

[Mikem]

When would anyone have to many trucks ? Baffling

No, been to the US once more since we met. No time for hobbies for awhile.

Nice project idea you have going on!

[Bo Wallen]

Thank you Skeeter ;o)
