The new project of Reynald.
 

Hi guys,

Are you remembering Reynald? It's the man who builded that one of a kind Kenworth T660 that I presented to you some months ago (http://rctruckandconstruction.com/showthread.php?t=3482). He's still working on it, finishing interior and project painting it soon, when wheather will get warmer (seems that he have some problems between paint odor and wife reaction when he paint directly in his basement :rolleyes:).

So he started a new project some weeks ago and again, I think it worth to be seen ;). It's a scratch built Caterpillar 365B. As the last time, I write for him because he can't write in english, but he said himself that he is a bit sorry and apologize about that cause he takes many ideas here on the forum and he can't discuss himself. So if you have any question, ask and I will translate his answer.

So here it is:

Hi,
I asked him about the drive setup and he said that he used two Magentis car seat motors for tracks. And I forgot to say that it is a 1:10 scale...
Pumptech, job is done...

Re: The new project of Reynald.
 

That must be a very productive man to do all that in a couple of weeks. :rolleyes:

Will follow the progress of this machine, thanks for sharing

Re: The new project of Reynald.
 

That thing is a beast! Awesome metal work, I'd say. It's looking really great!

Hi everyone,
Here's the last pictures I received from Reynald.
As you can see, he mostly reuse old pieces to make his builds.
Here he took a fuel pump from a Detroit diesel motor and a plane fan motor...
Can't wait to see it working :eek:

Lookin good! I can't wait to see if the jimmy fuel pump works on the hydraulics. My dad wanted me to try one in my Volvo but I thought it was too big. I guess if it works out then I'll have to tell him he was right... Again! Keep us posted.

That excavator has really taken shape tell Reynald he has done an exquisite job on building that excavator. Ed

Re: The new project of Reynald.
 

That looks great! Is he still using the Detroit fuel pump for the hydraulics? I hope that works out because I have one...
