Re: Carson L634

|
Re: Carson L634
Nice progress Mitch! I take it that is a powder coated finish, on the main chassis and track frames? Do you powder coat things yourself, or hire someone?
|
Re: Carson L634
So did Premacon cut you a deal for buying 160 track links ? And great build so far, can't wait to see some video of it digging some dirt !
|
Re: Carson L634
Looks great Mitch! Keep the photos coming.
|
Re: Carson L634
Powder coating was done by me at home. No deals w/Premacon on any of the items. In addition, I had to pay a machine shop (90 USD) to mill the tracks to proper width. BTW, powder coating is a little messy but you get a nice durable product.

Re: Carson L634
Man that bottom weight block is an awesome idea. I might have to copy you ( if not trade marked :) ) or if you make them your self I'd buy one from you. Everything looks fantastic Mitch !!

Re: Carson L634
Came across a few web sites you guys with the L634 might be interested in. I know its a little too late for Mitch but they have the factory track rollers , main track drive sprocket , replacement plastic track and a few other things.

Re: Carson L634
Looking great Mitch! Now that I see they have metal ripper shanks available, I think I'm going to look into getting a ripper a little more seriously!
|
Re: Carson L634
Tried to order the metal shanks from AFV as recommended, but was unable to work through problems with their website. This has been a recurrent theme. Has anyone else had success with ordering from AFV? I had no problems last time (year ago).

Re: Carson L634
Looking good!
|
Re: Carson L634
True work of art. The upgrades you have done are so nice, taken a nice model to a whole nother level.
|
Re: Carson L634
Looking sharp ! Did you ever have any luck getting the ripper shanks from AFV ?
|
Re: Carson L634
Metal Ripper shanks required a little trimming to make them fit. They appeared to be made of Brass. Thanks for the comments;)
