jakebrake86 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 That's awesome, Trent. There's a company called scaleart out of Germany, I believe, that builds an R/C 963 track loader. This thing is dead on, but I heard the price tag is about $16,000. That's more than I paid for the one I load dirt with every day!

The tamiya trucks are 1/14 this cab is 3d printed to fit that scale.PZ....I was thinking of making a snow plow but I have somany other projects going on. I saw a guy make one and it was pretty seeing him push thru a scale 4' of snow.84Superdog....,go to shapeways.comType in Mack in the search box....look for designer CAA52...

Timothy Maikshilo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It looks more like art than model building. I give you a lot of credit Trent for being able to build these.

Lmackattack Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think the superliner cab was made by a different designer... My buddy just got it and he said the cab is not correct. The cab made by CAA52( what I have ) looks more to scale. I don't think he has a superliner hood tho.. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34235-my-tamiya-rc-mack-r-model-6-wheeler/page/2/#findComment-229620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lmackattack Posted March 4, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2014 Here is my 95% finished RS700L and the 1/4 frame I'm building.The dump is powered by a home made screw drive with electric motor and 4:1 reduction unit. It pushes down on the front of the 1/4 frame and scissor action takes over. However I may need to replace this set up with hydraulics as it seams stressed right now. I will try a 16:1 reduction next to see if it has proper lifting power. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34235-my-tamiya-rc-mack-r-model-6-wheeler/page/2/#findComment-235631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
