90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

[SteinHDan]

The two side rails (is that the right name?) are made of a aluminum + ABS sandwich construction. The outer sides are 3mm 6082 aluminum, which is easy to machine. The ABS in the middle is 3D printed black ABS (Verbatim), printed at 50% infill (very strong).





The motor mount for the drive motor is milled from 6mm 6082 aluminum.







The bottom rollers are industrial ball bearings with a U-groove:

The bolts are standard hex socket cap M6 bolts 40mm long. I'm going to use black bolts when the undercarriage has been painted.

The washers are 1mm thick. I use two in the middle to get the right width.
