Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Originally, yes. Now I'm going to skip all together. Less wiring and the inner motor is able to bog down to match speed.



Crab steer is a must! It should be pretty easy to setup on the radio....

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Also removed the counterbore of another Leimbach valve set. These are the mini sized. Way smaller, but not enough to fit a 4th spool. The factory counterbore at the pump and tank connection don't...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Sorted out the binding at the rear servo and that tightened up some of the freeplay in the splines. Assembled the steering to try it out. Rear knuckles need higher mounting point to prevent binding...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Don, in your driveshaft search did you run across any with a 4mm bore? Been looking for another project, but haven't seen much. Everything is 5mm that I found, or 4mm/3mm mismatch.

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Thanks Zabco

Pinion is actually driven by a servo so it has all the built in limits and self centering. Front of it is an aluminum servo horn. OD was cut down a little and there are a few extra...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Thanks! I've lost a little of my momentum, but I am making progress still.

Latest task was redesigning the chassis to fit the rack and pinion steering. While I was in there I made room for a...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Stock losi mini rock crawler hardware is a flanged metal bushing and a unique socket head cap screw with M2 threads, but a 3mm diameter shank. The screw cinches the flanged bushing to the housing and...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

The MIP CVD losi axle where it goes into the coupler is 2.40-2.62mm diameter. It's a bit smaller near each end and largest at the center. Must have deflected while MIP machined it. 2.5mm nominal....

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

while i'm here I did rough in the front steering. Not really fan of how it looks. Works OK, but the M2 rod ends are very sloppy.

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Modern Resin parts are not too bad. They make a chalky dust when drilled/ filed. Some print vendors only offer generic version of the above material. I can't really tell a difference in practical...

Re: Mercedes O-305 - city bus

Numbers are very close to 1:16 and very consistent in each dimension. Wedico trucks are noticeably smaller than the Tamiya and China models but look just fine on a course IMO. Most noticeable while...

Re: 1/10 GMC PD-4501 Greyhound Scenicruiser Bus Build-3d printed

Looking great. The rear window/roof contour is my fav part.

Looks like upper and lower windshields as well as the back window will be curved in one or more directions. What's the plan to build...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

The white parts are SLA Accura 25. Supposed to be similar to an injection molded polypropylene. The grey parts are also SLA but Accura Xtreme Grey which is similar to an injected molded ABS. Both are...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Back on the drive line:

Losi MRC shafts are no longer available. Instead of having each machine use a different axle I'll rebuild them both to use MIP MiniT CVD. Stub axle is longer than previous...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Spent some time troubleshooting the hydraulics. Pump would deadhead at 200psi. Valve block would deadhead at 75 psi. One of the unused spools wasn't zeroed. Fixed that and get 100 psi at the cylinder...

Iconic exterior styling for sure. The detailed interior of your model is a great feature and nice to see included.
