Re: Wild semi concept vehicles

Reminds me of the "Cattle trucks" I rode during Army Basic Training at Ft Knox. Got hauled out to the firing range, obstacle course, and other training areas. Tractor-trailer, crowded and stinky!

1/16 Axle with Differential needed

Current project needs a rear axle with differential. Tamiya/Lesu diffs are physically too large. The 1/18 axles I have seen don't have diffs.
Suggestions requested.

Thanks!

Re: Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer

Don't think you miscalculated on the weight/balance concern. The real dozer has a massive counterweight when not equipped with a ripper. The 1:1 machine is very nose-heavy without either. So, maybe...

Re: Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer

Being an avid Komatsu guy, this build is great! Detail, proportion, function are just like the real Super Dozer. Congratulations on a successful first hydraulic test.
