Liebherr LTM 1030-2
 

Does any one know where to find metal for the Telescoping Boom?

Aluminum Square would work also.

Scale 1/25

Check the K&S site. You will no doubt have to machine one down to fit inside another unless you can install nylon bushings to tighten them up.

i would make shere that i would use some thing like nylon as 9W said. if you have aluminum on aluminum it will gull up in no time flat a steel one and aluminum core would work fine but aluminum dose not like rubbing on it self and you will be stuck with a big mess in not time i found this out the hard way. i eavin whent as far as too try lube like graphit spary and just about evey thing els i could think of steel on steel works the best that what some of the real picker use.

If you can anodize the aluminum parts they would slide better. But not real well for very long unless it was a hard coat,meaning the temperature of the water it was anodized in and length of time. (don't mind me I was just rambling):D

You may be able to add small rollers on each end ...I would check your local metal recycling depot..Some will have an area that you can shop in ...I find very many and different profiles there and at scrap prices

Here's a link from another forum showing what the insides look like. As you can see it's pretty complicated to make a telescoping boom.

LTM 1030 update
 

Well with help, have found telescoping boom, wheels, and how to mount crane to chassis.

Now need how to raise boom, no hydro way.

Found motors for swing, and winch. Also for boom extension.

Your helping was great, thank to all. Input welcome

LTM 1030 update
 

Well I layied the Keel Sorry I have built to many RC ships. I meant Chassis to day.
Aluminum deck, will have Aluminum Crane.
So will slowly start working on other parts.
Found Telescoping boon, still no wheels, need to be small hub, 4 1/2 in tires.

Will be using Chaseracer's system to raise the boom, just motor on other side.
If it works will share. LOL

Later,
TEXKEN Ken
