Although the drive motor has a D-shaped pinion shaft the pinion doesn't have same D-shape. The pinion is a press fit more or less and does not have a set screw.

On the plus side the transmission had plenty of grease in it and operated smoothly.

I'll be anxiously awaiting to see how well you like this setup! I've got the same thing in a Tamiya frame waiting for me to finish building it. I wonder if it'll be strong enough to hold up to the weight of a superdump?

scotty k: I heated the pinion with a heat gun and put the motor in the fridge. I slipped the hot pinion on the cold shaft and got an interference fit. I need to contact Lesu and get the specs of the pinion.

Lil Giant: the metal parts are aluminum, unfortunately no bushing at the pivot point. I find it weird that they did this considering they used flanged bearings for the axle pivot !!

once the pivots wear out I will drill them out and put in flanged bearings.

The stock servo horns had to be trimmed down to fit inside the adapters, nothing a dremel cant handle.

The kit came with 5 Tower Pro servos, I wasn't feelin' it. I decided to run Spektrum servos, part # h3050. these servos are sub-micro heli servos.

Hi

Nice build log thanks for sharing.
I too would swap out the tower pro for another servo they are not bad just would not use them in a valve block so now what you mean by saying not feeling it

[Cat966c]

If you would please tell me the tire dimensions? Thanks (:

[Table Top Trucker]

Cat966c; sorry it took so long to get back to you. Tire diameter is about 4.2 inch O.D.

wheels are about 1 and 19/32 of an inch wide, dia. is approx. 2.5 inch.

hope that helps.

[Cat966c]

Hey, awesome!! No problem man. It usually takes longer to get a response on here (no offense) so you’re good! Thanks! ��

[Table Top Trucker]

Hey Cat996, don't quote me but I think the wheels/tires can be ordered through Lesu. I know for a fact that the loader axles and a pass-through version of the loader axles are avail. for purchase. The fact that they have a pass-through version makes me think they have an ADT in the works.

here are a couple more pics of the build:


this first shot is looking into the back of the front half of the frame, it shows the second hydraulic manifold. The plumbing is almost complete !!

Bucket lift arms bolted up:

Couple shots of the bucket tilt cylinder:



Although this model only has one bucket-tilt cylinder it is the biggest cylinder on the loader by far.
