thanks for posting! keep on it, very interested to see how it turns out!

i am torn between Hydraulics or Electric gear motors. i would love to be able to run it for as long as i want without having to charge massive batteries. and i know little about hydraulics (even though i did a 6 month course on them! )
not to mention i would need to find a motor and pump to fit inside it along with 2 motors and controls..

as for the hydraulics for the ripper and blade i was thinking of using electric screw type rams. unless i use real hydros

it looks to be close to 1/8.4 scale.

49.2" 1250mm L
19.6" 500mm H
15.1 385mm W (not including blade)
22" 560mm W (blade width)
