Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Part 2

ScaleART left some indents to have access to the nuts going on the eyebolts, but even if I wanted to use M2 model nuts, I couldn't get the tool in there. So was a bit of a challenge, but...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Hi tc1cat, hydraulics are simple! Should have figured it out sooner that the pump is bi-directional, after all they use the same one in the three way kipper where the pump pumps the oil to raise the...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Not a happy camper ... started to prime the oil pump and found out one of the valve servos is not responding. Must have broken a soldered joint in the extension down the line. So repairs needed.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS

Nice updates. Like the Scania a lot - looks good pulling that trailer!

On the new king hauler, are the front wheels offset to the outside or are that very wide tires?

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Hi Jim, indeed lots of parts that need assembling. Wish I had the room to place it and the time to learn how to use the equipment to make my own parts like you did. :)
