Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

The MIP CVD losi axle where it goes into the coupler is 2.40-2.62mm diameter. It's a bit smaller near each end and largest at the center. Must have deflected while MIP machined it. 2.5mm nominal....

Re: Telemetry data of hydraulic pressure

Bumping this back up since I played around with it over the holidays:

I was using the Mu3 voltage probe. It has 3 inputs and i was only using 1.... gives room for uneeded features. I've been...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

while i'm here I did rough in the front steering. Not really fan of how it looks. Works OK, but the M2 rod ends are very sloppy.

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Modern Resin parts are not too bad. They make a chalky dust when drilled/ filed. Some print vendors only offer generic version of the above material. I can't really tell a difference in practical...

Re: Mercedes O-305 - city bus

Numbers are very close to 1:16 and very consistent in each dimension. Wedico trucks are noticeably smaller than the Tamiya and China models but look just fine on a course IMO. Most noticeable while...

Re: 1/10 GMC PD-4501 Greyhound Scenicruiser Bus Build-3d printed

Looking great. The rear window/roof contour is my fav part.

Looks like upper and lower windshields as well as the back window will be curved in one or more directions. What's the plan to build...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Back on the drive line:

Losi MRC shafts are no longer available. Instead of having each machine use a different axle I'll rebuild them both to use MIP MiniT CVD. Stub axle is longer than previous...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Spent some time troubleshooting the hydraulics. Pump would deadhead at 200psi. Valve block would deadhead at 75 psi. One of the unused spools wasn't zeroed. Fixed that and get 100 psi at the cylinder...

Iconic exterior styling for sure. The detailed interior of your model is a great feature and nice to see included.

Good option. The modern radios make this so much easier compared to a decade ago.

Moving fast on this.you're serious about the cabin fever deadline.

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Best result with brass would be some weld beads to fixture, then flow the solder over it for more strength imo. Decorative welded brass has been fine.

I had terrible results with aluminum. Tried...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

1.125" plastic slab sounds like a great lathe base.

That's a relief the lathe isn't as far gone as feared. I use 3N1 oil since I usually have it on hand as an "indoor" oil.

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

Thanks frizzen



Agreed brass is way easier to work with. Been able to weld a couple parts as brass. Was way tougher. The soot ddmckee brings up is for real. Stainless is a pain to shape. Some...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Sherline lathe is my most used tool by far. My matching mill is CNC but I don't use it as much. CNC quickly became a hobby within a hobby. I just want the parts. Super exciting to see you've busted...

Re: TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

TH407C Telehandler 1:14 scale

This project has been on and off for over a decade. It's closer than ever, but in a way i'm starting over. Original chassis in 2014 was brazed together. It worked well, but was not very square. My...

Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

Pretty hardcore to make your own ubolts. Getting pretty close now. I would think having the threads formed first might be easier. A M2 die may not fit once the legs are bent.
