Re: Hayes HD dump truck...RCP's style
I made a little progress with the driveline today. I didn't want to use a stock trans because it is so bulky and high geared. My attempted solution was to buy a cordless screwdriver and tear it apart. The one I bought came from Walmart and was only $10. It is a nice little planetary setup and seems to have enough power to spin all 8 tires on my bench with a few pounds of weight on them. I made up a little mount for the drive itself and bolted it into the frame. I used the 1/4" hex coupling, slotting it with a diamond wheel to allow fitment of the stock driveshaft. If it all works out I will have plenty of room for batteries and electronics under the hood...
