My 1/4 Scale Komatsu Wheel Loader

[apdevelopmets]

Hi everybody I thought you would like to see my latest project.
I have been scratch building a Radio Controlled 1/4 scale wheel loader from mild steel.
It has taken over 1 year to get to this point and is not finished yet.
The Model is huge and weighs a massive 900kg.

Here is a couple of photos.

The Model is Electric Hydraulic Powered to give the power to manover this beast about.

Here is a video of a walk around the machine.

Shoulda done what Lotus did with the Elise. They made the main chassis out of Aluminium and Epoxied it together at the seams. That way it saves weight and gives abit of give for a crash. Plus its easier to make. :)
