Structo dumptruck + Redcat Everest 1/16

[frizzen]

Took it out this weekend and trashed the stock steering servo driving in some crumb rubber

[Brake Weight]

The entire scale heavy equipment thing is a different kind of cool.

[Crazed]

Super cool, I have a bunch of metal trucks that I want to start playing with

Thanks guys,
Here are more pics of the meet, most pics are on page 2

NEW Indy show 2018 - RC Truck and Construction

[Mike Flea]

Looks like fun!

I took these up there with me


Somebody else grabbed a pic


Waiting on a new servo and trying to find some stock to remake a few parts better.

(My hack job suspension while rushing to get ready for the Aug 2016 show, "This is only temporary, unless it works")

I smoked the original servo, so a hitec hs225mg was installed

Tamiya rally block tires, sp-476 or 50476. Put on the Traxxas steelies.





Much softer tires, and its finally got something with some tread!

I saw you post about comps going dead but saw your Cherokee. If you aren't on there already look up Central Indiana RC Crawlers on Facebook. They go out every single weekend. I'm in Whiteland just south of Indy.

That'd be cool, i need to blow the dust off the xj and my comp truck. They're really not dialed in.

Can you post something about it here?
Anybody in Indiana still crawl - 2018?

Scale4x4 is still down, so might as well update this some

I felt like knocking together a little trailer. Kinda based on the old single axle car haulers. Good for baby excvators, skidsteers, shipping containers...



Drop hitch to level it out



Yet somehow the jackscrew & gearmotor setup still hasn't been fabricated into a bed lift...


I may have been complaining for a while that my Tonka Sandloader trailer won't really work as a loader for my dump since it can't reach the bed on my lifted Structo, and it's really only useful to the truck as a trailer that's hard to back up.
They kinda work on the 'no tailgate' style dumptrucks, but i don't have one converted. Plus you probably aren't going to move that much material with one, the bulldozer tracks these are based around only have 0.200" tall scooping paddles.

Something bigger. I like OLD stuff that you can see doing stuff and things when its working.





Careful mr bruder, this was built before safety warnings so there is no sticker to say there aren't safety stickers. "Don't stupid". "No dumb here". "The entire thing is a crush point". "This WILL kill you, and it will hurt the entire time". Yeah, maybe it's better the new stuff has less cool things to watch working, whatever.

I tracked down a 1946 Doepkey #2001 Barber-Greene Bucket Loading Elevator. Little rough and needed some work, but not too bad for being 74 years old. The real question is how it'll do in crumb rubber?

But seriously what is it?
