Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I think I have to finish the Volvo A40 next.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Great job, have you gotten your motors wired up yet....if so, did you use the servonaut dual esc?

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Motors are wired together, but not connected to the esc yet.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I got the rest of the hydraulic lines connected to the cylinders :)

oh my god that is a lot of hydro hoses gonna love to see it all plumbed and place send lots of pictures huge amount of work good one you are a master have you thought of doing 1/8 scale at all

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

How many meters of hyd hose you up to now!

What size hyd hose?

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I think I'm close to 13 meters.

It's 2x1mm hose, I can't fit any larger size, luckily the cylinders only have 8mm and 10mm bores.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Little side project while waiting some hydraulic connectors to arrive :)

If I decide to start a built thread of this, what is the correct category for it ?
I have no idea on what truck it will be mounted just yet.

That grader looks amazing! How many channels will it have?

Nice start on the crane arm

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I get terrified when I have to work on the hydraulic hoses for the wheeled loader. The amount of hydraulic hose that you have to run for that grader is mind blowing! Great build, I LOVE it!
