Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
Can't wait to see this monster loading the 777. Great work so far!

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
Thanks guys!!!
If I ever get this thing finished it should be a good match to load the 777, may need to build a bigger truck....lol [IMG]  [IMG]  [IMG]  [IMG]  [IMG]  This build will most likely end up being two builds.....first the front shovel and then eventually into an excavator as well....that way you could change from one to the other when needed or when you get sick of just digging "up" you could switch it out and then dig down instead...lol...

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
I got out my decoder wheel again. He's asking if you're left handed I think. Probably because the nuts are all on the left if you are facing the bucket I'm guessing.lol

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
That sounds like a good guess Reg, I've looked over the photos trying to figure it out, our daughters a south paw.

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
That was my guess too......just can't figure out how it applies here, you might be right Reg...the "nut" is on the left side...lol
Or it could be because all the pics are from the same angle, the reason for that is because there is normally a mess of shoes etc off to the right side of the work bench and would rather not have that in the pics!   Or it could be because he thinks I build stuff backwards from everyone else!  So the answer is I'm right handed, the pics are all from the same angle for a reason.......and yes I am a bit of a backwards nut!!

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
This is my simple attempt at building a slip ring....hope it works!!??
Used copper pipe for the rings, one wire will get soldered to the inside of each ring and exit out the slot in the center post. Originally I was only going to use one contact bar/finger on each ring, the new idea has two points of contact on each ring which should work better and the tension on the rings can be adjusted by simply bending the brass contactor arms closer together if needed. [IMG]  [IMG]  [IMG]  [IMG]  The center post will be mounted directly to the bottom of the body floor and rotate with the house, the stationary contact finger assembly is mounted to the center track frame. Each track drive motor will be connected to the brass leads on the assembly. Really hope this works!! Not sure how long the copper will last against the brass fingers, and I don't really like the idea of two different metals being used on this but the copper pipe was the easiest way to build it and would be easy to replace if it wears out to fast [IMG]  [IMG]

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
Very intuitive of you again Reg!  yes, it was all the nuts in the bucket on the left that made me question. I never heard that term myself until just a couple yrs ago when my neighbor, who is left handed, said it. My older sister is the only one in our immediate family left handed and I'm somewhat ambidextrous myself.

Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)
What a beautiful setup for a slip ring. Just put a generous coating of dielectric grease on the copper rings to stop pitting and it will last forever!! And it looks to me like that Alberta loonie is shrinking smaller with every picture, go Justin!!!!!
