Re: TheMachinist
The Bruder was my first attempt at an RC conversion.
Now I'm going to try to mod this dump truck. Origionally i thought it was a 1960 vintage Tonka but it is actually a Chinese replica of a 1949 Tonka toy. Again I will try to follow in Small hauls footsteps DSC06528.jpg |

Re: TheMachinist
Good job! Looks like your skid steer is working nice.
That dump truck you are converting looks nice and heavy. It will be a fun build to watch.

Re: TheMachinist
I was impressed with the quality of construction even though it's a Chinese copy. At least I won't feel bad cutting it up. This one will only be 2 wheel drive. I'm going to save the 4x4 drivetrain for a real Tonka.

Re: TheMachinist
Got the front axle built today and I'll form the leaf springs tommorow. Now if I could only remember to bring my camera to the shop and then figure out how to attach photos via photobucket into this thread I'd be happy.

Re: TheMachinist
Coming along nicely Jordy.
What icon do you use to attach pictures? I use the 'square' icon that looks like a landscape. |

Re: TheMachinist
I'm amazed at the torque of these small servos. Nice idea you had with the arm and roller. I can see all kinds of uses for this application now.

Re: TheMachinist
The servo is from rc4wd and is rated at 200oz at 6 volts. I'm running the same one for the drive and it has to grunt to move a full load. I might have to regear the output to get more power.
The scale weighs in pounds so 4 1/4lbs is quite a load for the truck. |

Re: TheMachinist
That setup is real similar to the roller hoist's that I've seen on old bobtail dump's.
Great job on this one! Where did you buy the truck? I may have to buy a few of them. Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug. |

Re: TheMachinist
I got the truck from a co-worker who had it in his office. I found ones just like it on ebay.
