It sure looks good when everything is clean and brand new! :cool:

Did you machine flat spots on your gear shafts within the track drives? Locktite every grub screw as well! It takes alot of torque to move this heavy model around. ;)

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
 

Yes it really does :)

At first i did'nt because i had to go to a hobbyfair and wanted to show it :)
So now i have mounted it all down again and fixed it :)

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH

Re: Hitachi Zaxis 870 LCH
