New Dolly (first tests)

[TroutPro]

Here's some pictures of some of the modular gear I'm working on and will hopefully be selling soon.

I'll hopefully be taking some pictures of the solo pieces this weekend to begin building a website.

i was not impressed with the speedrail fittings and promptly returned them on Monday. The tolerances SUCKED! and the Schedule 40 aluminum pipe was not rigid enough. I'm exploring other options for track.

Very nice, its quite similar t what I have made myself but uses more wheels around round track... Does the tubular track support the weight properly? My track is 2 meters long and till take about 15k in the middle without bending, probably more but I havnt tried adding more than 15kt....

where did you get your wheels?

Hoarp001 - Nope, the 3/4" schedule 40 aluminum pipe bowed in the center, so I'm looking into other options. I'm thinking about 1" square, 1/8" wall aluminum would hold up better, and I'll be able to use it for lots of other applications.

PaPa - E-Bay, Similar to this listing.

I would recomend 2x2x1/8 aluminum angle. Its what I use and it will support 15kg over 2 meters easily. Its also nice because the two sections will stack into each other which makes it easier to store...
