Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Well, the gearmotors turned out to be way underpowered so I found some stronger motors on ebay that put out 839gcm 21.6amp stall. I need to get some capacitors on them because they're glitching some. One problem with the new motors is they put out 16,200rpm vs. the 4000rpm motors. Now the Rocker goes too fast at full stick on the radio. I may get some larger reduction planetary's if I can't just limit the joystick travel on the DX7 transmitter.

Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
I spotted the Tournarocker running around my shop this evening. I did another planetary change from 14:1 to a 27:1. This slowed it down more and now I don't have to keep the travel set so low on the sticks. I also added a Li-Ion 6600mha battery pack that fits under the hood. I had to finally cut the original plastic motor out to make way for the battery. I better get some more done on this so it will be operational by Jan 13th.

Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Here's the video. I would like to take a day and get the dump hoist installed, bolt the tranny in and make the hitch correct.
I just don't work on this that much.:o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDaM27S9hKs |
Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build

Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Had time today to hook up the RC4x4 winch that I'm using for the dump hoist. Looks like it will work OK for now.

Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Works well. Good job.:)

Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
I got my hitch made up. I had to machine one since the original one was missing.

Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
This machine is just too cool! The old-school 1:1 and model are both so unique they just stand out from the pack of other machines. Great job!

Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Looks & works pretty good Steve. Quite an unique toy conversion. :cool:
Looking forward to seeing this thing run around the dirt pile. How much dirt does it hold, like a gallon sized ice cream pail? |

Scott, (SmallHaul) caught it on video. Quote:
As far as capacity, I put 4- 12oz cup full of sand in the video but it will hold more if the material is wet. Here are the dimensions of the 1:1 9'-6''w x 4'-9.5'' max depth x 12'-5'' long and a capacity of 18ton. I figured the cu. in. of the bowl on the toy but I can't find my paper. This toy is really close to 1/16th scale. |
Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Steve-this is really a unique model! After watching the video I wondered what you were going to do about the hitch but I see you fixed that little problem. Nice work!

Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Really nice work, Steve.
The Joal smaller scale version of this model was definitely one of my favorite toys when I was a kid (oh ! wait a minute.....I think I'm still a kid :p) |
Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Steve-I saw the Tournarocker turn over in the video but I wasn't sure what happened. I figured the dog tipped it over:D. Do you need softer tires or a different design or both?
|
Re: Tournarocker Diversion Build
Did you order four tires? Steel wheels & lead shot for the rear axle may cure your tipping problems. A little taller tire is better than smaller, better ground clearance & longer footprint for better traction.
