Re: WAY TOO COOL!
That's pretty cool, but not even a caption to mention the trucks are radio controlled models?

Re: Volvo SD200 Compactor
Wow. This is turning out incredible! Your cab is amazing. Is it separate pieces off your CNC mill, glued together as well? The fit and finish is amazing. The whole compactor looks flawless right...

Scott, Servonaut has a handy reference on their site, that shows the different sound options, and with what ESCs. Might be helpful.

Re: New Smoke Generator
That's pretty neat. I like how it has an ESC to push more air through the stack, as the throttle increases.

Re: Paystar 5000
Nice looking trailer. I like that lift axle idea, with the smaller tires on it. It's perfect.

Great truck, and really nice photos. I wish more guys would take pictures at a scale human height perspective. It looks very realistic, and the setting is perfect. Love the rolling country side in...

Re: Caterpillar D11R CD 1:14,5 by Gipicarto
That's a pretty cool heat exchanger. At first I was a little confused about the oil flow and coil tubes in parallel, but after following the path, I think it will work just fine. I'm used to seeing...

Re: D11 New Project
Sounds interesting Paul. 7 amps is pretty low current draw, but with two motors, I guess you're up to 14 amps, stall current. That's still not bad.

Re: Tank issues
I'm not sure much is repairable, beyond wires, with the Radio Shack models. Perhaps your dad would be okay buying a really cheap hobby grade radio, and a Sabertooth ESC from Dimension Engineering. ...

Re: Peterbilt 387

Re: D11 New Project
I'd be interested to see this become a kit as well. That ripper is huge! I didn't think it was that big. That's impressive. Of course a 1:1 scale D11 is a monster too, so it's not that much of a...

Re: 8x4 vs 8x8
You might get a little better floatation, with an extra steering axle, but honestly, it will still get stuck just about the same as any 6x4 truck. An extra non-driven steer axle is extra rolling...

Wow! Extremely nice metal fabrication and machining skills. It's always neat to see a scratchbuilt piece of farm equipment.
