the truck is alive.
had to remove the original gear box and fit a geared motor to give me more room in the cab.
sound card is now fitted and really happy with the polou motor.
can drive all day long with 5 plus kgs in the tipper.
I think the pump is straining a little ,but it still lifts at the same speed if its full or empty. don't know that that is normal?
just a quick test video

got motivated to finnish off truck, and made a start on trailer.

heres a few progress pictures.

pump in and running, home made stainless tank holds just enough oil.



cant fit cab to rails as too much inside, had to swap gear box for a geared motor, so printed up a motor housing and fitted sound modual under battery plate, speaker fits nicely in front grill.



the bones of a trailer



some metal skin makes it look better



an idea of what it will look like



almost there



and this is all anyone will see trying to pass me going up hill

trailer now has a bit of colour.
pump fits nicely between chassis rails, so now have to make a tank to sit in behind the pump.
I will use a deans plug fitted to the back of the truck so i can plug in the trailer.
the esc for the pump will live in the cab.

heres a few wet paint picts.
PS the coffee cup is to hold me and the trailer up as its 3am





cheers andy
