Re: KH Beam Hauler
This is the turntable bearing I use.
40x60x3mm size suits the tamiya chassis width nicely www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GCCTF61 I use it instead of a fifth wheel on my tandem axle dolly as I have a hinged drawbar. |
Re: KH Beam Hauler
It could be fun with a Christmas card from Tamiya:lol: Emil, you are in charge of that now:D
NRS91. Good Idea. That's what I'm doing. While I figure how to secure for driving around and break them apart for traveling, I'm making BabyMoon hubcaps. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a8f02d35_b.jpgIMG_6648 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG] The build can start.:bounce: |

Re: KH Beam Hauler
Would those hub caps work for regular duallies too?
|
Re: KH Beam Hauler
NRS91 Good idea, I will try that. Emil, Yes......sort of. The caps come in a huge variety, Some hardware stores Lowes, and Home Depot have them. I get them from this company: http://www.pro-dec.com/screw-caps-sc.../8-8-snap-caps They have a bit low profile and sit a bit high caused of the axle and lock nut. I put a dab of plumbers putty inside and press them on. the putty stays tacky over a long time, so they stay on.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
At the end of testing, Drives, well, Parallel park, well. Reverse, well. All are well—time to take care of manufacturing all the parts.

Looks good!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
Looking forward to see you parallell park in real life :)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
Bo-Dog, I LOVE them hubcaps! They're gooder than the 3D printed ones I've seen, in that they look more realistic.
|
Re: KH Beam Hauler
Kerst, Emil, Skeeter. Thanks. Parallel park to be seen next time you're in my hood. Or I'm attacking yours. I like the Baby Moon hub caps a lot too. I wish they weren't so shallow. I can now move a few projects forward. Got some stuff delivered today.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
The first row drilled and countersunk. It's already sturdy with only 4 of 17 screws mounted. I think this will work out well.:bounce:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
I have paused the RC truck and machine build over the summer, two reasons, real work overload and clearing the land for the RC Park behind my house in the woods. :cool:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
600 feet of an access road built, 100 tons of material hauled in, and 200 tons more to go.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
fair enough bud, been following with interest on facebook (would love to create my own layout one day)
Chevy looks cool too! |
Re: KH Beam Hauler
Wow, that Chevy dumptruck looks really scale!!!
Can't wait to see how the RC playland develops... |
Re: KH Beam Hauler
Looking forward to an in-person inspection ;)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
I really hope to see you all here at some point at the—RC truck action center CT. The work goes on.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
While bad weather is passing by, another backburner takes shape—a lot of stuff on order. I need to be patient. I work on a bunch of projects as much as I can.
