onadplanebill is on a distinguished road
Default 1/3 size skidsteer

first ever post go easy on me
I say 1/3 size because hats off to all of you builing beautiful scale equipment
the time invested and thought is admired in every pic I look at in every thread
I have enjoyed rc my entire life
and always disliked lawn chores
20 years ago my first rc lawn mower wasn't pretty and hardly worked
15 years ago could mow picture in picture while watching the game
they never were too good looking but did the job
so set out to build something that looked like something else
last year i made a 1/4 size skidsteer with plow and lawn mower attachments
it worked very nice
my latest build for the upcoming season I went a little bigger and more
power per pound with faster movements
and i took picture and video along the way.. thanks to my pateint wife
I will post the pics i have and one video, can find many more videos on my channel but will not post all here.. you can watch if you choose.
