CAT 773G Quarry Dump Truck So the "CAT" is out of the hat, and Ive decided that my next in depth Personal build would be the CAT 773G quarry dump, Ive always wanted to build a Quarry dump but was unsure of which model... ive scaled down the 773 and its a perfect fit for my requirements and will work just fine on my personal layout. This build will be in depth no detail will be ignored, with full interior detail including engine and it components, lights, sound, etc.... I scratch built everything except wheels tires and drive-train. Here is the inspiration... http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...suiu1vjpk.jpeg |
Re: CAT 773G Quarry Dump Truck I downloaded some pics of the engine and started to design it and get it ready for print http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psmp0bzr0x.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...pst8ae0su4.png http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psjsoulvkm.jpg upgraded the turbos, but im nowhere near done, still a ton more detail to go into it, im barely scratching the surface but its getting there, better pics tomorrow |
Re: CAT 773G Quarry Dump Truck So i had some time to myself the other day and got around to making the frame http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1ghyc3te.jpg I liked how it came out considering it was my first time dealing with brass on a bigger scale http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psok36rfze.jpg but after succesfully making the one side I realized it was too time consuming to do it this way so i reverted back to good old aluminum http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psbsjhl9wp.jpg also finished up engine design and ran the test print... very pleased... http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9oixgbt3.jpg |
Re: CAT 773G Quarry Dump Truck Ran some prototypes for the front suspension, almost happy with it, still needs tweaking, im trying to get it as close to the real deal while getting functionality out of it http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...pszzmu2gy1.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psewbnef5j.jpg |
Re: CAT 773G Quarry Dump Truck got the double wheel adapter all figured out http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psxaindspy.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0ypjapy6.jpg then i decided to take apart my trans because rc4wd is notorious for sending them with minimal lubrication inside, plus i needed to paint it to match the motor anyway http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psbnfbqgui.jpg and i finally got around to adding detail to the motor with some 1/16 aluminum rod and some electrical wiring and paint http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4okyleyy.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psartah2zf.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psbobkrihf.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psayx5gbzb.jpg |
Re: CAT 773G Quarry Dump Truck got a little more done in the late a.m. hours, decided to mount the motor and trans into the frame before starting on the cab... http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6cwtewsz.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psvwejmz3m.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psfghs3nxe.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psijxehhfc.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psmo7cfjmi.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psgeupiotq.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psrt1tbchw.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psnctbbiz4.jpg |
Re: CAT 773G Quarry Dump Truck Ive wanted to update this for a while but Ive been SUPER busy with customer builds and getting orders taken care of so here are a few more pics of some progress... Every time I figure out one thing, another puzzle pops up, and there i go looking up more pics and different angles lol.... Slowly but surely its coming along... http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2186wf0c.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psuwzjhmkr.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psilhnyjwe.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1yfmjzcw.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...pssohc0na7.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...pstziaiwwk.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2kq2wwml.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psoegwhurd.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0gowlygc.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psivwu5ryr.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/...psblftalld.jpg |
