Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
Thanks for the photo's and video Elliot, looks like you had a great time at the show.. I bet it felt good to get her out in the dirt and give her a workout ! It is alot bigger than the CAT 740...
What are you using for lights as they are good and bright ? greg |

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
Brel, Greg, Alan & Jens
Thanks for the nice comments, I posted a timelapse video (something different ) and someone disliked it straight away, kinda took the wind out of my sails, but I'm over it now :-) Its the first time at this show and first real outing for the Bell, if performed faultlessly. I am really surprised how tight/small the turning circle is, this makes it really easy to maneuver. To Joe... its got plenty of scratches on it now

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT
Really?! I didn't notice any scratches Elliot.. I was awstruck by it's power & ability to climb so effortlessly without a single bit of hesitation!
I spotted that junk 740 sitting on the bridge... the owner placed it there, didn't he?! It never would have gotten up there under it's own power.. even without a load on it's back!

The power of the B50 is amazing, it'll go anywhere. I know electric drive isn't really scale, but its like having 6 limited slip diffs fitted, if one wheel spins the other 5 just take over. With a full load on, I've had 4 of the 6 wheels spinning in loose soil, the last two had grip and just drove it through Also, its good for entertaining the kids. Since fitting the an esc from Hobby Holmes, It'll drive these two around up and down any slope/hill no problem at all!
