Default 1/10 Mining Dump Truck

Hi,

at first some few Words about what and why.

I've build a Russian Mining Dump Truck called Belaz 7540.
It is the smallest Model with 30 tons payload. In 1/10 that is 20KG weight and 30 kg payload.

btw: wich measurement is usual in this forum, metric or imperial?

Anyway.

Why? Simple. I was tired of my small skills in handling plastics. So i've tried to handle metal. After many errors my skills has risen and little by little i've bought a lathe and a mill for widen my possibilities.

So I've learned machining. And I've don't learned something called metal shaping. i.e. with a english wheel.

By that, I have to look for simple shaped, edgy Bodies.

And here it is



Looks simple but it will be complicated in details.

Key features: Hydraulic Steering, Rear Drive, two telescopic lift cylinders.

Latest Tool in my Shop is a Lampert M280 micro tig welder.


And now the build starts.

Fortunately i've found a very good parts catalogue with many sketches. Without any sizes but from the tire-size upwards i've take all needed sizes to start.

Material will be stainless sheet metal .3 und .5 mm thick.


First greater parts are the Backplate and the frame.




The frame are just four sheets without any additional internal structures.
