Wow, how far i have come... 

**WARNING LONG POST**

One of my largest creations yet: the Mobile Crawler Trencher!

IMG_3541.JPG

My goals:

  • Reliable, kid friendly structure
  • Easily carried
  • Battery and motor (AA and M motor)
  • Tracked, very slow and powerful
  • Clutch gear (24z) and a reversible gearbox.
  • Kid friendly speed, not enough to hurt (it makes it easy to stop, so it wont trench any hard things)
  • Easily removable battery

I am happy to say, all goals were accomplished. I believe 3 full days were spent constructing it, then i tinkered to get it just right. I got three opinions on it, all were positive so far, i hope you enjoy looking or commenting on it. I will not post a picture of any other trenchers, because i didn't take much inspiration from them.  

The features:

Motorized:

  •  2 function, reversible gearbox
  •  Driving tracks (forward only (1:15 gears)
  •  Bucket trenching spikes + sifters
  •  M motor geared 1:3 through a clutch gear (24z)

Others: 

  • Guardrails
  • Driver area (Left side)
  • Lifting or lowering the bucket wheel

Well, now the interesting part of all.

It looks like you used many parts from 42055 set. If you use only ftom it it could be C model :wink:

So far it is interesting project (as I can see because image on my smartphone is disproportional...)

No, actually i bought bulk, and he must have parted out a 42055. I only got 300 parts from it. it is indeed very close to C model.

i just tried to fix pictures, do they look better now?

Thank you. Hope I have money to buy more bulk from the person soon, good for construction equipment.

You should change your EB nickname to "C-model builder" or "C-model developer" or "C-model designer"...you made whole bunch of C-models and I have stucked in neverending story called Unimog development...

Nice work! I agree with @I_Igor, it does look like a 42055 C-model.

Your photos are getting better too, they just need a bit more light...

I don't know what you did, but somehow all the text relating to the photos got pushed to the side of the second photo...

Thank you, I thought my photos were bad at first, but then looked at them, and they seem fine. That is weird it moved the text. I will re-do the post tomorrow, that should fix it. 

What happened was that I somehow double posted the topic, and out of lazyness, I cut the topic to shorten the extra one. However, just as I did that, I left my computer, on the page that got hidden, and swapped to reading on my kindle. After I saw there was only one topic (still on kindle) and went to my computer, and copied the post, reloaded the page (error) and went to the edited one, and re-pasted the post. Hope that clears it up...
