Leave it to you " Dr. Frankenstien" to try something like that. Sound like a sweet project.

I will resemble that remark,(insert Evil Mad Man laugh here).By the way the first will be like the old loaders with rear steering ,but the next one will be the current day loaders,and I am working on plans for a backhoe,dozer,and an escavator.

Are you gonna do a hydraulic, air, or servo operation? Or is it gonna be a combo. I might be able to get ahold of someone who build hydraulic systems, but they are expensive, way expensive.

Well to be honest I am only able to afford the servo route at this time but maybe PBRider would be so kind as to send me info on the pneumatics and free samples?  ?lol,but I could use the info.Thanks. No pics yet camera is still down,sorry. |

Your lucky, I can't even find my camera. Servos are not a bad idea. You could go with the 1/4 scale for the extra balls needed to pick up a load of dirt.

I have never seen a pneumatic setup before. Do that one, maybe I can learn something. Pneumatics is air, Hydralics are being replaced all over by electic-pneumatics. The problem with hydralics is that they large, require a pump, fluid, and can be very messy. You also can't get a very small cyclinder and if you get a small one it wieght so much. The ups about hydrulics its good for harsh weather conditions and have lots of power/toruque. Pneumatics can use a supply tank you fill up and doesnt need a pump to pump the air to the cyclinders. They also can come in any size you can think of. From like a 0.5" 0.5" inch cylinder to huge industrial ones. Good manufactor of some small cyclinders and other parts is clipper, not sure on the spelling. how large are you looking to make the like arms or what not. I have some smaller cyclinders. That cost around $20 each. I'll pm you information and bunch of goodies on it later today. |

If it doesn't work that way I have another way of doing it so no matter what it will work the only problem is the money and time to put into the project.Oh yeah and the organ donors , I hope all of you organ donor cards are up to date!!!!!!!!!

The pics I am posting here are JasoninAgusta aka Jason Carters scorpion. Does this answer you radio question. projecttwin.com/files/boards/IndependentSteering.jpg I will talk to him and try to get details. I believe he said this set up was around $800, and the guy wanted serious inquiries only. If you still want me to ask I will. |
