Great Job! Watching it come together using the painted parts really puts a smile on your face ill bet. The actuator speed and power is perfect. One of the coolest dumps here. Congats.

Thanks Lou.....yes it is a small hoist/crane...I originally built it to lift the D11 dozer on/off the work bench, turns out I need it more now because the dozer is just under 100lbs and the truck is just over with the battery...yup they are "chunky" ( and don't worry about the lift pulling the shelf down it's built chunky too!!! ) the lift will really be needed when I build the shovel, the way I build stuff I'm sure it will be "really really chunky"

Thanks.....the truck with the big battery in it is just over 100lbs (battery is about 10lbs)

Yes I have done some tests, here is a link to all my vids....

Thanks!!! The truck is the second build for me and I did try and get a few more details in this build than I have in the dozer, I still have more details to add to the truck...exhaust, air cleaners and maybe some details in the cab, but for now it will just be open space ( great for mounting the GOPRO inside)

The pics I took outside the other day are really more about actually having some nice pics of it with the fresh paint job....I don't see it be that "shiny" ever again. I did put the radio in one of the pics to help get some size reference but that isn't always helpful.....So here are a few more size/reference pics.

Thanks again...glad you like the "Tonka" !!!

Glad you like the vids....I'm also impressed with how much power that little motor/gear box has too!!! (almost scary ) time will tell how long it will stay together, it does like to strech that #25 chain...should have used #35 but for now I will run it with the #25 and see what happens. Your right it could be geared up a bit to get more speed , but first I want to see how it will handle a big load driving in the dirt/grass and not on a concrete floor ( that sounds like a good reason to make another video...LOL )

Thanks!!! Yup....I think every builder has a smile on their face the first time they get to see the model taking shape with all the newly paint parts!!

The actuator does work well in this application and was a very simple way to replace using telescopic hydraulic cylinders.... however it does in this case take away from the looks of the truck box , doesn't look great but it does work...LOL

Not sure of it being the coolest dump truck on here, but I'll bet it's one of the heaviest!!! Thanks again !!

Wow! Very good job with your truck. Paint and details do make a huge difference, and it operates very smoothly. Big enough to do yard chores!

Thanks for those last pictures. That helps me a lot. I cannot see too well but I can read a ruler. NICE BIG TRUCK!!! I like your dozer also. Seems very strong and pushes a full blade with ease. Another great build! I am already looking forward to your shovel build (my main interest). I can already see the shovel loading that truck. What a video that will make!!!!

Finally had some time to take out the truck and have some fun...and get a little yard work started at the same time....
Used the truck for a good portion of the day and so far so good, everything seems to be working well....it could be a bit faster though, the long runs take a long time....the slow steering response is a challenge at times, but for the most part it does work well for this heavy model.

Nice video!! To me the truck operation is very realistic which is what I really like. I think a lot of people operate their models too fast and that makes it look like a toy. This looks like the real deal to me. Nice job. I'm ready for that front shovel.

Thanks!!! Trying to make something this small look like it's really big is hard to do in the vids....the tall grass and the rough ground tends to give it away...LOL...
The face shovel is in the works.....I will be ordering the hyd. cylinders and such this week....but it is far from finished,in fact it is hardly started yet. I have a number of drawings done but not many parts cut out....still designing it.

Uploaded another landscaping video today.....

Ya, very nice! A little weathering and dust on that thing, build a bit of a road to look like a quarry and you will be very close to the real thing in your videos.

Thanks for sharing, looks like a lot of fun!

Jim

A few more pics....the lawnmower helps in getting a good size comparison...a PC1800 is really big machine compared to the 777....and to think I thought of building a PC3000.....yikes that would be huge!!!








Thanks for looking........

I'm waiting to see this front shovel being built. Should be a great project.

What will you be using for drive motors on the shovel? I ask this because i once started an excavator abput that size and i still have to wheel chair motors and gear boxes. the type of chair that has two main tires that are controlled much like an excavator. if someone was interested i will trade them for some 1/14 scale trailers yrucks or just boxes of unused extras!!!!
