My axles have arrived from China, they’re much heavier than I expected. What I noticed before ordering them is that they use the same central section for both front & rear axles, the fronts are narrower to allow for the steering & the rears have extensions to increase the width.
As normal there wasn’t a width dimension on the listing but I took a punt.
Hex face to hex face the rear axle is actually 195mm wide, remove the extensions & it’s 149 wide. That’s just about the perfect size for the Raumer
I couldn’t help myself, I had to have a look inside one. Surprisingly all the innards are metal!!! The bearings are only copper but they will do for my needs
There isn’t much grease inside, I’ll sort that before I put it back together.
Now where’s that Dremel...

Re: New project Krupp Raumer S
That thing is mad cool. What a giant bugger!
As for the axles i have to wait, but i have bought the metal versions. I planned on converting them width wise anyway to suit a Truck conversion, so thanks for the pictures. It almost confirms that what i want to do will actually be quite easy. Sorted
Good luck with the Raumer

Re: New project Krupp Raumer S
Hi Will, I had a bit of a disaster when I glued it together, I got a “bit” of a twist in it.
I’ve just got some debonder, next time I get a break between projects I’ll have another go at it.

Hi Wayne you may be able to use these to steer your beast https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Huina-Profes ... 1438.l2649
sorry no choice you cant pick and choose they come in the three you see ( they are to modifie a digger) but they may work. A lot cheaper than hydraulics.
regards pete

Hi Pete, how weird is that, I was looking at that listing yesterday & scratching my head wondering if they’d do the job on the Raumer S, there are no sizes in the listing, thanks for the pointer

Re: New project Krupp Raumer S
Hi Wayne think they are over 100mm one is longer than the other two .if you used two of them you would need to reverse one of the servos , they make reverse cables so not a big problem
