Wow thats cool! Is it going to be hydraulic or screw drive?

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

It's always fun driving around a bare bones chassis, isn't it? Something about seeing it move under it's own power for the first time. Cool.

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

Nice one looks good in the video cant wait to see some more pictures.

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

Hey Travis, do you need to see the kyosho hanomag manual, for screw drive idea's???
Let me know, I can scan it and pm it to you?
Keep up the great work. Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Travis - get on your wheel guy - those current rims are ground on me - sorta like a hot wheels version of a 'cat. LOL

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

This is comimg along nicely. Are the lift arms 1/4'' plate?

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

Yes they are.:D In 1/14 scale that is only a 3.5in wide arm. I want to be sure this thing will hold up over time.

Travis

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

It will hold up and also look good. Some people don't use heavy enough material and it just don't look right. But if I know you this thing will look and perform great.

Re: CAT 988F Series II Wheel Loader
 

Great work Travis
I have been too busy at work and have not kept up with all the action on this thread. I think work will slow now and I can spend more time watching your build, keep the updates coming.
