Hi guys,

I have already started to assemble my SdKfz 7 kit. The plan is to build a late version. I have designed a gear box with an integrated differential and steering brakes. For driving the model I am using a Hacker outrunner brushless motor.
On last weekend I could do a first driving test, which works sufficiently, but I still have to tune the brakes.

Attached are some pictures from the gear box.











All electronic equipment will be placed inside the fuel tank


The motor for driving the winch is also placed inside the gear box




Next time I will do a small movie.

Hi Günter
Bin gerade über dein Baubericht gestoßen schade das dieser so kurz ist und nicht die erhoffte Resonanz bringt aber das ist ja fast immer so
Gibt es Fortschritte an deinem sdkfz 7 würde gern mehr Bilder von deinem Baubericht sehen.

Hi Heiko,

das ist "noch" der aktuelle Bauzustand. Ich wollte erst zwei andere Baustellen (FT17 und Wiesel TOW) fertig machen. Zum Wiesel werde ich demnächst etwas posten. Anaschließend möchte ich am SdKfz 7 weiter machen
Die Bremsen im SdKfz 7 sind übrigens die gleichen wie im FT17.

Ich werde auch ein sdkfz7 Late Version bauen mir gefällt die vereinfachte Version viel besser freu mich wenn es weiter geht warum hast du keine Originale AT Motoren benutzt..???

I would be interested to know what sort of gearbox and braking system you have used.

Many years ago I purchased the plans for the Cerjak gearboxes and braking systems but all the shafts and collars needed were beyond my machining skills at the time (and probably still are )

Hi Adrian,

the gearbox is self made. It is also including the drive for the winch.


differential

The brake I used are from the same supplier
brakes

Hi all,

I restarted working on the SdKfz 7 after a long brake. The cabin is completely new. The driving wheel is working. The electronic is mainly placed in the tank below the seats.

Wonderful innovations

Adrian

Hi Gunter, always love following your Engineering marvels! Will be another masterpiece I'm sure. SDKFZ 7 one of my favorites!
Best regards,

Hi Gunter

Are those seat cushions 3D printed ?

Great build

Derek

Hi Derek,

yes the cushions are 3D printed. The cooler used as speaker box, the inlays for the bonnet and the attachment (black parts) of the frame for the wooden flatbed too.
