Jordan_coe2012 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Iv wanted a model 3cx since i can remember and i wasn't til i doug out all my old britains toys i thought to look online and see whats about and there it was the britain jcb 3cx.

Deere-est Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Terrific! Both look great, that four in one bucket is brilliant, didn't know BSB had started doing them as well. You are also a dab hand at putting a nice base board together I see too. Bitty......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Like you, I've wanted a 3cx since the mid 80's!!. I have bsb quick hitches on mine and a 4 in 1 bucket' no forks, from a £3 jcb. Looks like I need to do some browsing and look at ci models again. Like Tris, wasn't aware bsb did any front attachments.......few years time I may get it done!!

Jordan_coe2012 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi cheers for the comments. I don't think bsb do front attachments I luckily won both the four in ones of eBay from cimodels:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS. Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ci models do them for £45 if I remember, good quality models, bought 3 buckets and a quick hitch for the js330 and was very pleased with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Finally plucked up the courage to pipe my 3cx's for the hammer heres the Eco version in action, both old and newer models together and the older on its own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS. Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Looking good bud, I've also got both versions of the 3cx both with quick hitches and a set of buckets each, as of this morning the older version has became a 4cx just needs a few tweaks here and there. Also need to get my finger out and get on to ci models for 2 4in1 front buckets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Cheers matey you do indeed they do make the model, I thought of doing a 4cx but how do you get the wheels off and I'm guessing they don't turn very much once changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS. Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Very difficult getting the front wheels off, ended up snapping the black plastic strip on the axel trying to get them off, at the moment the wheels don't steer atall, will have to cut part of the chassis out to get them steering, don't know I'll deal with the rear wheel steering bit that won't be for a while.

ronan7051 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 They are seriously cool!!! Ive got one which I fitted the four back buckets to, I want to get another one, the new model, and get two 4 in 1 buckets for them and some of the other attachements also. The piping looks excellent, can I ask what you used for it? as I want to do it also, and also can I ask why it is different on each one where the back arm connects to the main body? Really excellent models bud, I'll be watchin to see how the mirrors turn out as I cant understand why britains didnt put any on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi ronan thanks I use 1/16 copper tube to do it and painted it silver but I'm sure you can get Ali pipe that size, as for the different piping being different I looked on line and one of me mates drives one n told me they are different on newer models. I hand thought of mirrors to be honest but now you've got me thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Another fine job, both are turning into very nice models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 After making my 4cx i got out my old 3cx's and began tidying them up by adding mirrors, rails and lights. I have made my own legs too for the rear and an extra dig for the rear arm! Always wanted to have the extra dig as the joal models have it so finally after racking my brains on how I was to do it have achieved it and its turned out better than I expected. Even when it's fully extended its still rigid which I was the part I couldn't get my headround! I want to now do this to all my 3cx,3c and 4cx. Here it is just need some paint...
