Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
DADSGARAGE-That is some nice work. I built the 777 but it was at 1:30 scale and was really difficult to build because of the size. My completed model would fit inside your box with room to spare. Are...

Re: First build ,cat D11
Cooper-I am also a "backyard machinist" self taught. I had problems with the cut-off tool until I learned how to sharpen it. If the tool is right and sitting at the correct height you should be able...

Re: First build ,cat D11
Cooper-you are doing a great job on this build. Exact scale is not important to everyone. Most people do not have access to machinery to measure and photograph and the die-cast models are not 100%...

Re: First build ,cat D11
Cooper-nice job. I have been watching this build. These tracks will test your patience and skills. Once you get these done the rest of the build will probably seem easy. Your grousers seem a little...

Re: D7E RC 1:7,5
RC Dozer-you are doing some nice machine work here. Is this going to be a shelf queen are will you be using it in the dirt. I have found that these very small bearings will fail under high-loads....

Re: Wire Rope For Dragline/Crane Build
Hi bartles-here is a link for wire rope. You didn't say the size you need but I think your drum size of 33mm(less than 1.5") is probably to small for wire rope. In my experience on small drums the...

Re: He is at it again! 1:50 Dozer Conversion
Jim-I am glad to see that you realize how much work goes into a scratch build. :D I agree your dozer may be a bit slow now. It would be perfect for me but I am old. How about-1-tooth more on the...

Re: He is at it again! 1:50 Dozer Conversion
Jim-I can see that it is a bit tricky to run smooth with the blade and tracks moving that fast but looks like you are getting good with it. Practice always helps. It looks like a fun machine to...

Re: He is at it again! 1:50 Dozer Conversion
Jim-to me the dozer is a little too fast for realistic operation but it looks like it works really well. Also the blade up and down is faster than normal but this is due to the way it is rigged with...

Re: Help w/ new speed controller
Jimj-sounds like a centering problem for one thing. Can you adjust the trim to where the motor does not run? Probably when it is centered the led will burn solid. On s/c;s that I have had, the led...

Re: He is at it again! 1:50 Dozer Conversion
Really nice work on the conversion jim- you said you are making more changes so this should be a fine model when completed. Any updates on the wooden crane with the clamshell?

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Nice video steve-if that big rock by the dirt pile is the one you were moving I would say that is a 100+ tonner in the real world (maybe more). Quiet impressive! The video shows good close-ups of the...
