Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler
Sounds good Reg. Got the train issue all figured out this year, so it looks like the trains will haul one way and we'll backhaul with the trucks. It will be a good test for the screw drives for sure.

Re: Gravel boxes for your King Hauler

Re: sluggish hydraulics wedico 345d
Just a thought but did you remove the vent line off of the oil tank. Sometimes they tie the two nipples together with a piece of hose so it doesn't spill oil.

Re: RCLogger
Yes your right. When you use a separate battery pack for the receiver, you pull the Red wire from both speed controllers. You'll have to ask Greg about the run times as he used to run Nicad's but has...

Re: CAT 374D L
My vote would be for a Cat 657B. With the twin motor setup you'd be able to power both axles and really move some dirt!

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Well Reg, one thing for sure we all know now how big the Kenworth is. The Volvo is going to be able to load that out with one bucket full. Are you making a screw drive or hydraulic for it.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
