Re: Tamiya 3 Speed..... Love It or Hate It?

Stock Tamiya trans can be modified with a longer shaft to make it AWD. Got mine from Semi Joe a couple of years ago. I used a RC4WD reduction unit between it and the motor. Works great.

Re: Great winter in a small town Zipilandia Scale Park

Fun to play in the snow! Your movie making and scenery skills are as good as the quality of the models and the model park. Always interesting to see your videos!

Re: Dump trailer slams into bridge!!

It's not just highway trucks. Numerous instances of quarry trucks taking down conveyors with a raised bed. My favorite is a quarry truck going downhill into an underground facility, bed up, hit the...

Re: Awesome model of a Norwegian excavator

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)

Been pondering this... I was looking at Test #4 and you said it was delivering 3000 cc/min at 220 PSI, in neutral. I don't understand that with the valve in neutral the system is loaded so much. ...

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)

This is a super build! With limited space you have still figured ways to make things work. Love all the mechanisms that make this crane tick and the detail.
