For any of you Vancouver Island guys that might know, what is the plan for Port this weekend? Are all of you still going to the antique truck show? I think I can probably play for a bit

.

I'm franticly painting my "kitty" today. I hate painting...

Hi Reg, You bet the show is on. Greg Lou and I will be there around 09:30 Sat morning to set up and it sound like we're in a different spot this year. I far as I know we'll be staying over and running on Sunday too. When you get there just go to the main entrance building and tell the girl your with the truck modeler's and walk up the path to find us. We'll get your equipment in after, as then you can drive in. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Rob

Sweet! I'll probably be up there on Saturday morning sometime. The Cat is painted now I just have to put it back together.

I just hope my old beaters hold together.

Dozer looks really good!! Did you get the problems worked out with the bec?

rcman · #8 09-03-2011, 03:45 PM

wow excellent job! I really like the dump truck too!

RCP57 · #9 09-04-2011, 08:39 PM

Had a great time in Port Alberni yesterday with the guy's, wish I could have been there again today!

Everything is working OK, there is a few bugs in the Cat but nothing to serious. The BEC seems to have fixed my problems with the Sabertooth so I'm a happy guy.

I didn't take very many pics guys cause I was to busy playing but here are a few

Hey Reg ..Glad you joined us at the show ..great turn out and we have a ton of intrest ..very good feedback from the oganizers..

If you guys look closely at pic #4 reg posted you will see he does a great balancing act with his CAT and logs..Not something you see every day..

RCP57 · #12 09-08-2011, 08:49 PM

Come'on we need a video of these fine models working. Really good job on the building.

I stripped my bucket servos a couple days back trying to move what would have been a "giant redwood" in full scale. I'm such an idiot! It is amazing to me what this machine will push and lift, it just needs stronger servos in the bucket appearently

I think I may switch to a pair of hitec HSR-5980SG digital servos. They are standard size but have all steel gears and a huge amount of torque. I should gain a little extra travel on my bucket too. Has anyone used them?

I did some work to the tracks yesterday so I thought I would try them out today. The tracks work good but now I stripped the servo horns in the bucket

...It's always somethin!

Great work on the dozer and cool vid.

I have been heavily abusing the Hitec 7955tg's and knock on wood, haven't damaged one yet. Lots of power.

I keep looking at those servos. I think they would be perfect for my bucket for sure. They are much stronger and I could buy a servo programmer and do away with the mixing in the TX.

Do you use metal servo horns on them? First I stripped the gears in the servo and now I've stripped the plastic horns. Maybe I souldn't expect it to lift so much...

Nice kitty Reg, speed looks good to me. Glad I caught this post, for some reason I missed this build over the years.

I've actually been enjoying the play side of this hobby a bit more lately. This old girl hasn't done much other than collect dust for quite some time so I busted her out and had some fun.
