Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

So you are using Bf 20?

Are you pleased with it? Did you buy only the factory electronics or you also bought ballscrews?

Did you make hydraulic parts with it too?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I'm quite pleased with it, only sometimes I have hoped it to be a little bigger. I have ballscrews in all axis.
I only made the cylinders for the grader and there was some milling on them that I did with the BF20.

Looks like you practiced a bit before sharing.. :p ..pretty smooooth!

Need more video :)

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I want your G-Codes. ;)

Truly amazing! I enjoyed following this project. Good job :D

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Great videos. It's very nice to see the model in action, after all the hard work that went into building it to such a realistic level of detail!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I guess I'm jumpin onto this pretty late ha..?

I've just spent hours reading through this build... what an absolute masterpiece...

I operate a 140M all day 6 days a week, and still love it... and had an idea of building an r/c one myself... I started to search around a bit and found this... after seing the quality and perfection you have acheived I've been left confused...

How can I get a flight to your house... quietly slip out the back gate, and get back home to Australia with that model before you notice..? I don't ever see myself being able to produce something like that...

which begs the question... if you have all the data required to cnc the components, would reproducing a kit ever be a reality..? or even a half kit, with the fundamentals, ie mainframe components and blade, less hydraulics and radio etc. I understand there must be hundreds of hours of hand work also... but I really want one just like yours...

wow... still blown away... that thing is the single best r/c model I have ever seen...

thanks for sharing... Luke...

This is an OUTSTANDING model!!! WOW !!! Well done !!!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

This is awesome and Where did you find the blue prints ts at?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

one thing that amazes me besides how good these models look is how realistic they work love it

Awesome machine!!! :D

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Over Power work great engineering.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Wow ! Professional work !

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I could stare at this beautiful model all day long :eek: Fantastic job I love it!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Anyone know where one could be purchased?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Time, time, time, and more time. I have CNC stuff but having a hard time finding the time.


Great work. What's your CAD? / CAM?

(Tormach 770 and 15L).

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

It's a one off scratchbuilt by the OP, so no.

But there's a different one listed right now in the Buy and Sell, not far from where you live. ;)

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Did you sell this fine model? I saw someone on YT claiming it to be theirs.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I sold it several years ago. Do you have a link for that video ?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Oh, ok.....No, if i come across it again, i will fwd it to ya.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

This is outstanding build and craftsmanship , I'm new to this hobby but have spent many long hours in the seat of many CAT graders , first one was 120 last one was 14H , I'm 71yrs old and can tell you you handle that blade like your in the seat and the model is just outstanding.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I as well would like to see that vid

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

You can see 3-videos put up by the builder "hemi" by going to YouTube and type in "scale r/c 14M grader". and they will come up.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Thank-you sir for the info h0w to find it. That thing is AWESOME!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Your welcome skeeter-sometimes I spend hours on YT just looking at construction models and full size equipment. It amazes me what all is on there.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Hello!congratulations you did something so beautiful. can i learn how much you sell please.I wanted to learn the price of a greyder.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Here is the link to your grader:

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Hi guys,
I recently started to build a new grader, this time the 14M3 model. There's not that much changes on the outside besides the front of the frame arc, and the longer engine compartment.

But my question is, should I start a new build thread for this one, or have you guys seen enough of 14M builds for now.

I can't use any of my old drawings and CAM programs as I'm using Fusion 360 now, and it can't open those. So basically every part must be designed and drawn again. Also I'm planning to use 3D printer (which I still do not own) on some parts.

Here's couple of teasers for you:

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Absolutely start a new build thread! Always great to watch your talent, especially since your using a slightly different technology! :popcorn:

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Sweet!! Looks great with the fusion rendering.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I agree!! show us another one :) I don't know where I found it but you should be able to import almost any cad file into fusion, or on some add-ins may have a file translator. may need some tweaking but,,, then again I don't know what im talking about 3/4 of the time,,,, but things always are better the second time around !!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Really nice mate

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Since no one is against a new thread, I better start one :)

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I need Plans
