Re: Modified Stahl Dozer

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
Mike, I didn't see that this was posted. You could use a dual motor controller from robotmarketplace to run the drive.

Re: Brownsville,PA show.
Thanks Steve. There is a slim chance that I can still make it, We'll see. I'll call you if I end up going.

Re: My first Tonka dump truck
Thank you very much. The Tonka trucks and Dopeke Unit crane are right at 1/16. IMHO they look ok with the Tamiya 1:14.5 stuff though because they are so close in scale.
There are springs under...

Re: My first Tonka dump truck

Re: My first Tonka dump truck
Unless you are using mini giant axles it wouldn't help to explain how I mount the leaf springs on them because they have mounting points with balls (for the suspension links) and I mount off of them....

Re: Trailer with rear steering axles
One more thing that is important if you try cables..not only does the width have to be the same on both ends but, the pivot point has to be very close on both ends or you would get a lot of slack...
