All that's left is adding an inch of height all the way around the dump bed...otherwise it's done.

ok...here's the stats:

length: 60.5 inches
Width: 10.5 inches
Height: 13.75 inches (bed down) ~41 inches (bed up)

Steering system: 11 gears
Drive system: 12 gears minimum (i actually lost count...)
Dump Bed capacity: .46 cubic feet as pictured/currently .67-.7 cubic feet (not for sure)
Weight: 21 pounds fully loaded...empty weight unsure

oh and yes, it does move itself on it's own with that payload. Driver gear ratio is about 11.3:1. Not counting the gearing inside the electric motor, which i think is 275:1 for low gear and 125:1 for high.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:






 
just weighed it, with the bed fully loaded with spare parts, it weighs in round 10 pounds, the chassis weights 11. So 21 pounds. And it moves itself last i checked (not sure anymore...but think it should, i know it should with about half load)
 
Do you build things often or is this a first attempt? very impressive.
 
I've been KNEXing since around 2000ish i think..maybe a little later.

I'm trying to clean it.....

with the bed fully loaded with my spare parts, it adds up to about 30 pounds.....it moved itself out to the living room on it's own power across carpet and all, roughly 18ish pounds i think. The wires going up from the cab to the bed are the link wires for the remote control..20 feet worth.
