Re: CAT 374D L

Wow, that's cool, but it sounds like it has some gear mesh problems at times.

Car-L Meets the Lions

I got a good laugh out of this. Big jungle cats up close and personal, with an RC crawler, fitted with a camera. :D

Re: Electronics questions

Your ESCs would plug into the receiver, however they will not be drawing their power from (or through) the receiver. They will get their voltage from the main battery pack you choose to run the...

Re: Electronics questions

Castle makes great BECs. I've used them for years and have no complaints. Their 10 amp BEC (switching regulator) is what I'd suggest purchasing, if you need it. If you are planning on running all...

Re: CAT 374D L

Another fine masterpiece Ari. The 374D looks great outside in the natural sunlight.

How about you tackle a Caterpillar 527 skidder next? That would be something totally different from what...

Re: New Transmission required Wedico 740 Dumper

Hmmm, was the new motor struggling to drive the Cat out of that hole, or were the tires slipping? What voltage are you running on that motor? Seems to be set up for 12 volts. No idea of the gear...

Re: Electronics questions

Wow, yes, you must have been looking at one of the higher current Sabertooth ESCs. The 5 amp model at $60, 'ought to handle those servos. If you wanted to be safe, you could buy the next size up,...

Re: Electronics questions

Baker3, I think independent dual motor ESCs are generally not cheap. You could also run two separate single motor ESCs as well. A radio transmitter with dual sticks would be ideal for running a...

Re: Hello all , newbie here with ? about scale

Be warned.....if you though the RC trucks were expensive, model railroading in the same scale is way worse!

Re: Transmission options

I too would suggest looking at the planetary style gearmotors. You might even consider robbing such a set-up from a cheap power screwdriver, or an old cordless drill. You could run a rear axle,...

Re: Electronics questions

Glowing orange IC chip? That's not good! At this point you might be better off simply removing all of the electronics inside the servo, and hardwiring the servo's motor leads to a separate ESC, as...

Re: Wheeled excavator Liebherr A934

Very, very nice work! You are a true craftsman. Not only with your machining and metalworking skills, but also with your styrene, brass, and soldering skills. The counterweight is very impressive....

Re: RC4WD Gear Reduction

Wasn't there a post on the forum where a member had replaced the bushing with a ball bearing on his RC4WD planetary reduction? I have one of these planetary reducers, but never ran it. The bushing...

Re: RCP57's first King...

Reg, did you machine your die out of aluminum or steel? That's a great way to go, when you want to make duplicate parts. I did the same for my fuel tank straps, after I made 4 by hand and they all...

Re: RCP57's first King...

Nice work Reg. Girls never like the smell of paint for some reason. I don't know why, but that's a good looking truck. Magnets seems like a great way to go for the tailgate latch. These boxes...

Re: New Project!

Nice work Stu. Are the lifting arms pinned to the shaft, or just secured with set screws? How much power does your lifting servo have? The parts are looking good!

Re: a little sweet tooth

That looks wild! I'm curious - when you wire up all these LEDs, it looks like you use little to no resistors to limit the current. I see a few, but the majority of your LEDs are just a series of 4,...

Re: Construction Equipment Radio

Unfortunately, I don't think that binding two 6 channel receivers to a transmitter will give you 12 channels total. You'll just get two 6 channel receivers doing the same thing, on the same...

Re: Simple Pete Daycab

That's unfortunate about the paint. You're not the only one who hasn't laid any paint down on a truck! Paint is overrated! :D Then again, maybe finishing a truck is too.....:p

Re: Building a trainer

If you are sure the buzz is coming from the motor, then I can only guess that your neutral throttle position is off a little bit. The speed controller is actually giving the motor some juice at...

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway

Re: RCP57's first King...

Slow you say? I don't think so. It's way to easy to under estimate the time it takes to manually machine even the simple looking parts. Drilling and tapping takes a lot of time too. This is why...

Re: Kverneland RB 100 - 1/16

Great video! The plow truly is a masterpiece too. While I was watching, I was amazed at the traction your tractor had in the sand. I wondered if it was 4wd, and then saw that it was, in the ending...

Re: New Project!

Looking really good, Stu. I can't wait to see what you come up with for the 3 point hitch. I might find myself in the same situation someday. I really want to build a tractor.

Re: RCP57's first King...

Any chance for some boxes long enough for trailer applications?
