New Project!

Awesome. I get distracted a lot too, Stu, but your 3 point hitch looks right at home on the back of the tractor. RC4WD Gelande? Those scale 4x4 trucks are a lot of fun!

Quite a few neat building techniques in this...... I really like the articulation detail. It looks to operate very well and with great scale appearance in the vid. Well done Stu!

Thanks guys, I know its been awhile (was working away from home most of the summer) but I have an update!

Made a dozer blade for the front:





Picked up a door strip from a job this week, going to rip it down for a cutting edge:



Started making a box to transport it in, this is the base:





Will try to shoot a vid at the weekend.
Cheers

Finished the blade:



And fitted some flashing beacons:

Lights

I have also set one of the channels on the usm-rc2 to EKMFA and am controlling this with switches on the Taranis.
The Taranis is programmed to send a set number of pulses depending on which function you want on/off.

Thank you, its around 5kg, pulls the trailer with digger on which is about 16kg all-up no problem although does get a bit of wheel spin on a steep and loose surface.

Time for an upgrade to the JD,
New electronics, a servonaut s22 for forwards/backwards and a servonaut mfx for the steering.
Also new wheels and tyres which at 350g heavier per wheel will add 1.4kg to the total weight of the tractor, will make some brass wheel weights later if it needs them...

[Lil Giants]

Are the tires hollow? Add lead shot for lots of weight gain.

[Stuart]

The tyres are solid which is where the extra weight comes from, I will try it with the added 1.4kg to start with then make some brass wheel weights later.

SUPER job! Keep us updated.
