Anyway, enjoying the excavator build and looking forward to the truck.

Ken,
I need a big and powerful drive-terrain/planetary gears here, still designing...size will try to come head to head with my Excav, at 1:14 scale, the length will be slight more than 1 meter, and 0.6meter in height I think..maybe slightly smaller than this, as to match all other gadgets...tires...i will custom made here, Tom (Thx Mr MODELMAN) had given me the info on the Si-Rubber mfgr, and i got the quote for the material i need, right now, to come up with the mold..before i order them, or second choice is to customize them as per my existing Volvo Dump Truck..(solid rubber and hand cut the thread)..
