Bell B35D Dumper

Hi Espeefan,

Thanks for the nice words.. The detail on the rear suspension is amazing, with the track rods & tie bars, even the rear light clusters match the original.

Well spotted on the driveshafts they are the same design, they may even be from a wedico, or certainly the same supplier.

About a week after owning the model, the gearbox decided to give out, THS over-nighted me a new one without question which I fitted in due course. Oddly enough the gearbox is from Bosch, its actually a cordless screwdriver gearbox. So I've had a little experience with working on it, its very tight for space that's for sure.

The axles are from Premacon and do have planetary hubs in, according the website, they are 12:1 reduction, so as you can imagine, very little force is on the drive train. So far it's gone up and over everything I've put in front of it!

here's a couple of vids for you!

Cheers
Elliot
