Re: Euclid R18
Reg, I enjoyed the pictorial review. Had forgotten about some of the details and was re-fascinated to see them. Such a neat project and excellent workmanship!

Re: Euclid R18
Thanks Ken, I'm not sure if I love this truck or hate it? I know I built Jackfish first but this truck pretty much started a giant snowball effect of shop machinery and RC equipment in our garage.....
Any progress on the Payhauler? Last edited by RCP57; 01-22-2015 at 10:04 AM.

Re: Euclid R18
Payhauler progress? Yes, but very slow. Had to learn that correct choice of aluminum alloy for bed is critical. 6061 does not like sharp bends, especially when soldered (300-degree) - cracks in the bends & the base metal. Have to redo with 5052-H32 which is recommended for metal forming. The lower bed rails & cross members are complete, along with rear pivots. Just have to start over with bed bending.
