Re: Is this hobby dying in the US?

Re: Is this hobby dying in the US?

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck
Now that you mention it.....looking at those chains, it looks like if the doors open any more they may over center then bind... Might be better if they open just a little less so they can't do...

Re: Axle suggestions?
Looking at that link you posted the 6v and 12v motors have the same specs. Except the 6v motor pulls more current...
