There seems to be much better movement of forks now. Good work. I'm excited to see what else you will do with the chassis.

Is there a adder/subtractor mechanism, or similar to prevent vertical movement of the forks when sliding them horizontally? If there is, can you show us? I'm thinking of building such a mechanism for a tower crane, so it would be interesting to see it.

The mechanism of a tower crane is exactly what iam using. The end of the rope is bound to the forkside of the sideloader. Then the rope is, guided by some wheels, routed over the fork tower, then to the winch on the driver side.

The Back is done

Nice progress so far. The rear looks very smooth

This is shaping up nicely.

What battery box are you going for? And where are you placing it?

this will be roundabout the setup

The technic side works very good, now only the finishing of it.

i think You should make The movement faster, is it possible? You Will have more realistic MOC And also if you want To do a video it will be little bit boring :( anyway I really like you work And The mechanisms used in this Moc :)

Faster needs a change deep in the central frame. Tuesday i know if i have the time for this.

a small progress

Efferman I do like but I agree it needs to be a bit quicker. In my opinion you could have used racks and worm gears to slide the sled....or a LAs.

Third choice chains!

But again....this mocs looks great to me! :thumbup:

Tomorrow i know if i have the time for a revision of the loader.

It's looking good !

That's a great looking model, just like the real one.

This should be fast enough

Now we are talking!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

very good man

The second chassis Version is almost done. The frame is more stiff, the steering has now ackermann geometry but a bit less steering angle.

The cab is done

really really really awesome *-* And it looks like The real one, are you planning To make a yellow cab? ;)

no, there is to much yellow out there

It is done
