Thanks tgrzes! i really like the look of these even if they're still a lot bulkier than the toys cast hexagonal axle tubes of the real machine. With some paint, they seem to camoflage into the machines pretty well.
Electronics plan:
20ga130D012 dc12v 50rpm gearmotor - 2 ---- Nope, these are wrong ----
Kastar 1600 mAh nimh - 6 (2x3 triangle pack)
Mg90s (knockoff) servo
Hobbypower 10A esc
This machine will build off the Right half since that's where the exhaust stack hole, and battery casting are. Layout is probably looking something like this
After some head scratching, i think I'll drop the Charge plug out between cab and 'battery' as a male micro jst plug (since it looks like a tiny Anderson Powerpole and makes sence for using with a really good set of jumper cables around the farm). Then i'm thinking a horizontal switch for Charge/Run under the 'battery', and a vertical switch for Esc On/off forward of that.
Unless it changes?

Uh, pretty sure i grabbed the wrong gear-motors off the shelf. I said these were 12v 50rpm, but on the other tractor it says i used some 12v 200rpm.
The worst part of it all, is that I never learned how to read!
