Default Re: Axle suggestions?

I know both those toys are HEAVY... especially the scraper and with a full load of dirt?!?!?
Even with two motors I'm not sure they will have the grunt for the scraper.... The belly dump maybe since it just has to haul the weight around not dig in....
I guess the only way to find out is try it...and have a plan "B"
Just seems every build I've read about over the last couple years the builders say these motors don't hold up...IDK why....
I saw a guy do a Tonka scraper last fall but it was on FB so good luck finding it now...
FOUND IT...Finally....I hate looking for stuff on FB....Anyway... here is the scraper Rex Bryson built it.... not sure if he will share any information but...

I agree with jerry56, even though these toys may be heavy, I don't think they'll have enough traction to be able to dig a load of dirt in the scraper. The belly dump should be doable though.
