Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Looks as nice on the inside as it does on the out.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Wow, that's a one of a kind machine! Such a well thought out platform too. Everything fits perfect, like it's meant to be. No doubt you had it all in your head as you started building it! Very clean work.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Very nice work Ben! It looks and runs great.
The gearing seems spot on. Nice work on the wheels Steve the look great too.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Really awesome build so far! Looking forward to its completion and seeing some videos. I imagine this is an 'outside only' use machine with those wheels (well at least here on hardwood floors and the SO around). Quick questions:
What thickness of brass did you use for the frame parts? Did you soft solder or silver solder it? (I saw someone ask earlier but couldnt find the answer) Are the wheels made up as rings with spacers? Are they bolted together or welded or glued? Thanks

"Are the wheels made up as rings with spacers? Are they bolted together or
welded or glued?" generally , 5 pieces bolted together . but a lot more went into it then just that . it would've been too time consuming to weld every foot on each wheel

Nice job! The speed on the video was very scale.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
For some dumb reason, I have missed this thread . Ben you have out done yourself this time The video looks great as does the entire model. My only very small complaint is: why didn't you use brass for the entire body?? You were so close!! No, all kidding aside, between you and Steve- the wheels- this is one outstanding vehicle. Can't wait to see it completed! Indy, maybe????

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
I'm trying to get the steering cylinders to cycle faster, do I increase pressure in the pump? I'm not sure what pressure I'm running currently. Ideas???...

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Larger lines going to the cylinders, smaller diameter steering cylinders, or turning up the pressure on the pump would be the only ways I know to speed the steering up. That or run the pump faster. More voltage, though I don't know how much more you could run before you compromise the reliability or longevity of the pump. You could consider upgrading the pump motor to the brushless motor that Leimbach offers. I know that motor spins faster then the brushed motor.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
More pump volume, pressure has to do with how much load is placed against the pump.

Re: Snochaser's Construction Co. Builds
Ok. I'm already using the largest line I have, 2.5 I believe. I've thought of the bigger lines, I guess higher moor speed would help in crease the volume I need.
Thanks guys, I will have to look into the brushless option Nate. Do you have a link? Ben
