It's telling me I don't have permission to view the videos or pictures. Must be a privacy setting. You can shoot them to me in a email if you like and I'll upload them somewhere [e-mail] and post them here.

Should work now.

[RC Tractor Guy]

That's looking well, nice slewing action. Are those meccano gears? Just wondering where you got the larger gear.

[thomas]

yeah there meccano gears . got them on ebay for a couple of pound ,

[RC Tractor Guy]

I'll probably have to do something similar myself, worked very well for you.

[thomas]

yeah , just have to figure how to stop wires from twisting up now on the track motors.

[RC Tractor Guy]

I ordered one of these slip rings from ebay to get over that hurdle. Have yet to test it out but hopefully it will work for my PC400 model.

[thomas]

testing digger controls, how did you get on with the slip rings,

That is looking great, nice control. I got the slip rings and they look like they'll do the job. They are pretty small the only problem is the bolt holding the model together is in the center so I need to figure out how to change that. I ordered some large gears on ebay so when I get them I'll be able to line everything up and decide how to put it together.
