Re: Batterie life span.
The best NiMh packs I have ever owned came from Duratrax, and any pack that used GP or Sanyo cells. I've had mediocre luck with Traxxas packs - the ones used for the mini RC trucks. Their fullzied...

Re: Advice needed..
Jason, I would probably want my money back too. One could argue you were an uneducated buyer, who didn't ask any questions, but the seller certainly didn't give you a heads up, which is a problem...

Re: Advice needed..
I honestly didn't think such a transmission existed, but now I understand RC4WD did release a 1:1 version for their worm drive rock crawler - because all the reduction is in the axle.

Beautiful! I just noticed all the other details I somehow over looked. The radius arms for the front axle, the exhaust pipe running down and forward towards the engine, the air tanks, and plumbing....

Re: My new project...yes.
Nice work on painting that chassis. It turned out really nice. Air brushed, or rattle cans? I can't even tell. If it's the later, it must be Tamiya paint!

Re: Hayes HD dump truck...RCP's style
The close up of your truck shows some pretty nice paint! :D You must not have used a brush or roller on that one. The finish looks great. You do alright for someone who doesn't enjoy painting. :D

Re: how would i do it?
I think you would be far better off using an electric gearhead motor, or even a servo winch. A hydraulic motor is something you aren't going to be able to build very easily. An electric gearhead...

There are a lot of choices out there, but because the scale semi trucks are better run at slower speeds, look into any brushless system that is designed for the RC rock crawlers. Novak has some...

If you can find one, the HFP 20 might be worth looking into. I'm not sure if it is manufactured anymore, but there are still some new ones floating around. It's basically the predecessor to the HFP...
