Maybe a stupid question, but what is the difference between
16:3:1 and 16:1 designation on the motors from the Famo?

Brians motors are labeled with 16:3:1
My motors are labeled with 16:1
It is the gear ratio I know, but do'nt understand the :3:

Is the on faster, and the ofther stronger?! -

[Adrian Harris]

Looks like a typo to me.

One of the standard ratios from this gear supplier is 16.33:1

My Chieftain motors are marked 10:2, which would be a very odd way to label it, until you see that one of the standard ratios is 10.2:1

Long day of fixing small rivets and tie down loops. About 1/4 done.

Hello Brian,

sorry for crashing your building Blog
Its long way to fit the rivets. - well done till yet.

@ Adrian,
that make sence 16,33:1. so its wrong labelt at Brians motors?!

[Adrian Harris]

Just a : instead of a .

I presume it's just how Armortek mark up them up in the warehouse so they select the right motors for the kit they are picking.

Had a minor setback when my one year old mis placed one of the hinge blocks but I was able to fabricate a new one from an white metal Tiger one track holder. I ordered some soft case life 12ah batteries to sit in the cabinets and I am excited to get them and see how they fit!

Good stuff Brian keep it up. Ref the one year old, I expect that the tiny part has been eaten so you will have to wait 12hrs and ........well the rest is umm up to you lol.

Got the bed finished and test fit the canopy. Been waiting for this moment for a long time! I’ll have to steam the canvas to get wrinkles out and maybe soak it in some tea.

Moving on to the cab very tedious tie down loops...
