Default RE: Nitro Tuning Table

Just an FYI for those interested in making their own...

This setup is not so much something you fabricate on your own, unless you have a lot of money and extra time.

I remember from working for UPS several years ago that this is the same exact setup they use down the middle of their long trailers to aid loading and unloading of the trailer. For example, instead of unloading the trailer box by box and walking all the way to the end where the conveyor belt starts, the unloader could simply roll the boxes down this track. The conveyor belt was then positioned at the end of these rollers near the back of the trailer and would pull the boxes into the sorting system as they came off the rollers.

So, in short, if you'd like one these for yourself, go find some abandoned trailers and see if they have a roller frame up the middle. If so, grab your sawzall and/or toolkit and remove a part of the frame...and voila, you have a R/C Nitro Dyno.

Or, you can purchase your own by visiting a website like this: [link=http://www.ashlandconveyor.com/category39_86/index.html?page=1&sort=2a&osCsid=7ef63c923c6f0d4b8 cb93076a7868de9]Ashland Conveyor Products[/link] or checking to see if you can acquire one on eBay.
