RSO - metal tracks

Erik
That would be so cool to play together! Perhaps someday!

You and your RSO were huge inspiration to get this over the hump and finished! Yours is much more famous on YouTube than mine!

So thank you! Keep up the great works in 2025. Many blessings to you and family for holidays!

This looks so good! How's the RSO project going?

Hello Martin, Not much progress on RSO front. I get distracted easily and start a new project. I have two running RSO at the moment.
Best regards,
Bob

Your RSO cabin is so nice looking.
And also the doors.

Thanks Robert T - Lots of CAD time spent on cab and doors. Quite difficult to model, and print, even in several pieces for me anyway.

Looks awesome with the trailer too. I might have started building one too...

What a joy to see this fine RSO.
Your metal tracks make a big difference.

Thanks fellas,
Robert yes the metal tracks are nice. Although the PLA, Resin, ASA track run just fine, the metal track version adds some realism. This little beast weigh about 25 lbs (11Kg) with metal tracks. The plastic track version weigh about 8-10 lbs (3.6 -4.5kg) less, around 15 lbs (6.8kg).

Do so love your RSO, so my drawings and files will be ready soon.
Wheels and axles with ball bearings.
Then I have to dig into the details, and that is the fun part.

Have a nice day.
