pufferfish is on a distinguished road
Default Re: 1/10 Mining Dump Truck

The build started in juni '21.
End August '21 i've reached a first milestone.

the trough and his bead are provisional welded


the rear axle gets her links


so the axle is mounted on the frame and a first loading test starts

pre weighed 10 kg stones


nothing cracked . the shock absorbers moves just a few mm.


20 kg stones


nothing cracked . the shock absorbers moves just a few more mm.


30 kg stones. maximum payload is reached


nothing cracked . the shock absorbers down.


some manual flexing works well too.

Now I've knew, that all the main components will work on full payload.

At this point i'm very pleased with the build so far.
