Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT

[Lil Giants]

Looks like you came close to falling off a few times Elliot. I bet that heavy dumper would dent ground!

[elliot330]

You're not wrong Joe... I am struggling to get used to driving a vehicle that bends in the middle and doesn't self center when you let go of the steering... like a RC car or truck does.... I need more time on the sticks I think.

Update!!!

The Bell has been stripped and is with the painter! Watch this space for reassembly.. one day

Pigfarmboy asked

Do the cylinders come pre-soldered in the kit form? You added the rear flap opening or that is kit supplied?

Hi, yes the cylinders come pre soldered but need to be assembled, I think you can order them in any format you want, given your skill level or budget. That goes the same for the entire kit, you can order is at a just laser cut pieces to a complete built and painted kit. Again, it depends on your skills and budget. I can't weld, so went for the welded version.

The tail gate flap is an optional extra. There are a few optional extras that are needed to make it a complete unit.

Are you thinking of one?

Thanks Kalle - you're thread inspired me to actually strip it down and paint it... plus a friend up North in the UK also now has one and his is painted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsIiw...UjfvvnTdA990I8

Colour wise, I asked the painter to try and get it as close as possible to original Bell Yellow.

In that case, definitely speak to Frank, I'm sure he'll happy to send you the laser cut pieces for you to weld etc.

Yep, I was looking at them as well... not sure how you would connect 6 x 3 phase motors together. Think I need to speak with Frank to see what he recommends.

Looking forward to some photo's with fresh paint

They invented paint for a reason.

I know... just took a long time to find someone to apply it!

[elliot330]

Started to put some of the parts back together last night... rear half is complete. Just waiting for the front half to arrive back from the painters.

Sweet Elliot!

Looks great this far!
