Hi Jennifer
It was definitely worth to wait for your newest marvel! It’s wheter a CAT nor a
Liebherr - finally a model that is truly different from what we’ve seen so far

my creations in such harsh environments) - congratulations!
Although your site is - once again - very easy to follow and the pictures show
lots of details, there is something I couldn’t find out yet. It concerns the
track rollers. How have you built them to realize a smooth ride? Did you use the
16 tooth clutch gears like TJ has in his R996?
Just an idea for the case you should looking for your next challenge: what about
implementing drive, steering and a (remote) control to the 8455 backhoe loader?
You still could make it look like a JCB or a Case :-)
