Thanks Niel Thanks for the link, I'll probably use small narrow delrin pieces that won't be visible from the outside.

SmallHaul-that machine looks like it works great!! I really like the cable shovels. In the 2nd video I can hear something that sounds like a servo glitching. Yes-No? If yes I don't see an antenna. Maybe a short antenna would stop this. Great job on the conversion!

Thank You very much Modelman. No, there is no glitching...maybe you hear the slack in the rotate chain when I change directions to fast.

I think you are right. I would like to run a 1:1 one.

Well, I got some paint on it now. Some clean pics before I get it dirty again.

By the way, it was fun to carry it back home....

No not get off point, but look at those wheels on the back end of that low boy.

Here is a video of it driving around. The ground is too hard for it to dig so, I just moved a rock to show some bucket movement.

Thanks, I guess you would just use lots of fuel and patients.
