JD 650H build
Well, I'm going to try to RC a diecast JD 650H dozer. My plan is to use Futaba 9157 (425 oz in) servos for the tracks and also the blade lift. I haven't found a clever way to angle the blade yet, so I might just skip that. I'm trying to keep this as stock as possible and retain as much weight as I can. Batteries are going to be fun to find a place for them, hoping I can do at least 4 sub C's at 5000 mah so I'll have a decent run time per charge.
The Box and unpacking: Let's tear down: (yup, kinda a messy work bench, but it gets the job done... lol) A couple of splined hubs from servo city worked perfect for mounting the sprockets to the servos. They just needed a 3/16 spacer glued between them to space the sprockets correctly for the tracks. Track servo's installed: Top view bottom view, need an aluminum plate to mount the servo's Back side, servo's don't stick out too far, I plan on mounting the hitch back on also Starting on the blade lift servo mounting I'll need a mill to make the mounting bracket and remove some of the metal to make room for the servos , so I got one of these. Wow, this thing is freakin' awesome Thanks for looking John Last edited by JohnStilwell; 03-08-2014 at 08:30 PM. |
