Re: RCLogger
Neil the motor has three mounting holes on the front. Use a plate on those holes and then attach to the track frames.
I use Servocity mounts to attach to the sprocket. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...carrage001.jpg |
Re: RCLogger
Great use of local materials Greg. Do your track pads work well compared to Lou's - doesn't he have some molded plastic ones?

Re: RCLogger
Yes Lou has the molded ones, we have had a pushing contest and my D8 has the upper hand. My pads cut into the dirt rather than float on the top. I would dig a deep hole very fast if I ran up agaist something the D8 could not push. Also the motor I use are 400 oz in per side on 18 volts 25 rpm. Nothing slows them down ! ! !

Re: RCLogger
This was going to be a project down the road with the 400 oz in motors, it would be a tight fit with a pump and spools. I think if a person didn't make the blade 6way, but only up and down I think there would be enough room for the spools for the grapple, boom, and one for the blade..

A person could also build it all electric I think. I once used servos on my KMC track skidder to operate the boom and grapple, I have to say it works GREAT. I took the centring system out of the servo so that it would turn endless, worked great for winch drums... greg |
Re: RCLogger
Greg made a mess of that one. Didn't mean pad, should have said K-1 tab,

I just picked up a bunch of aluminum flatbar today to make the tracks for a 527. It's going to take a bunch of jigs to make them. Will I be able to? Dunno, but gonna try. Unfortunately, I have this little work thing that makes me the money to buy tools and materials to make things but prevents me from having the time to do it. Richard |
