Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Nice, I'd love to see what you come up with for a nearly completely Tonka construction company!
I usually haven't been too picky about brand loyalty.

Cool and History are pretty big for me. You...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

The belly dump isn't done, it just went out for an extended a shakedown run.

I'm not mad in the least about it's performance or capability!
As i said in the beginning I'm aiming toward Scale,...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

I'm fairly happy with how my machine runs. Speed seems about right for what it is.

My 1/16 scale 1940s machine is a bit out-classed by higher yardage, modern, and larger scale trucks. Yes, that's...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Yes, i'm running this machine on a Flysky FS-I6 that has had the 'throttle' stick swapped to another 'centering' stick. Mostly all i've accomplished so far is to bang my head against this radio, or...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Yes, it's been getting some programming & shake-down runs with electrical stuff just lashed to the outside. Overall it runs pretty well. Still trying to teach an 'Airplane' TX to speak whatever...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Ddmckee, i'm not really worried about prop torque and left turn tendencies. More about over commanding a turn, slamming the tractor into the trailer, with the load weight shifting to the outside of...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Thanks for the suggestion! I really wasn't sure what would be a good enough esc for this. That Hobbywing QR 1060 does sound like a nice step up. I was also aiming for something small enough to fit in...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Got a new 6ch rx, and 2 pack of dkky cheap 40a brushed esc (Fwd 40/160. Rev 20/80) i dunno, claims to be good for pushing 380 motors

A guy has a computer radio, doesn't want to get a big Tank...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

I'd wondered how much roll articulation your Euclid has, and probably same for the Tourna-rock trucks? Either looking at it like axle angle, or tire lift height & wheelbase distance?

Looks like...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Good thoughts jerry. I really wasn't sure if i would be better off to let the doors have more room to do what they want, and remember to close when it's on the flats. Or if different amounts of...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Thanks jerry, i'd wanted to come up with something overly complex, probably having little pivots that would get dirty and jam. Then i noticed some 1/10 crawler accessory chain still on the bench. I...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Monighan, I thought i'd remembered a really nice Tournarocker build of yours. It was really trick, but i'm aiming a little lower since i don't have a Mill, Lathe, Layout blocks, Skill...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Anybody remember what's the big thing a DUMP truck really needs to be able to do?

Well then we better do something about that!

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Pufferfish, There are some small parts, but other than some gearbox screws and the setscrews for shaft couplers, it's not being too fiddly yet.

Mounting these gearboxes to the inside of a smaller...

Re: Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Jerry, thanks for your help brainstorming on this one! I think the Wooldridge power unit should be good for 2 esc, 1 rx, some sub-C nimh, pilot light, driver. Then the attachment can carry servos and...

Wooldridge 1940s Bottom-Dump Truck

Goal: I want a larger Dump truck that's going to be easier to hit with a Dragline bucket than my Structo 1960s pickup, and Nylint 1930s pickup.
Yeah, just for ease of loading, i'm not even worrying...
