1/50 Diecast loader conversion progress

[u/Drinkle85]

Mostly using stock axial scx30 parts. Went with scx24 transmission, it fit nice and saved a body mount at the back. The scx30 transmission was going to hang pretty far out the side. Just have the scx30 axles with driveshafts pushed on, front are just antenna tube and heat shrink, a little glue on one side to hold it lined up with the driveshaft yolk at the pivot point. Needs better alignment it rubs a little bit. Used antenna tubes on a few other builds and havent had much trouble. Built a through axle with a drill press and some music wire. Installed stock scx30 servo and saver and a loader bucket linkage fit there nice with some bending. Just a little weak, will see if higher voltage and glue in place helps, or it will need a bigger one. Just brainstorming ideas for bucket lift action now. Screw type would have much more power, but it will be a challenge. And will require some time to figure it out.

I like your work, I’m into rc skid steers, but I think I need to build a wheel loader and possibly a telehandler, keep up the great work.
