Bruder Conversion video

Re: TheMachinist
 

The Bruder was my first attempt at an RC conversion.
Now I'm going to try to mod this dump truck. Origionally i thought it was a 1960 vintage Tonka but it is actually a Chinese replica of a 1949 Tonka toy.
Again I will try to follow in Small hauls footsteps

Re: TheMachinist
 

Good job! Looks like your skid steer is working nice.

That dump truck you are converting looks nice and heavy. It will be a fun build to watch.

Re: TheMachinist
 

that looks like so much fun. Martin needs his working :P

Re: TheMachinist
 

I was impressed with the quality of construction even though it's a Chinese copy. At least I won't feel bad cutting it up. This one will only be 2 wheel drive. I'm going to save the 4x4 drivetrain for a real Tonka.

Re: TheMachinist
 

Got the front axle built today and I'll form the leaf springs tommorow. Now if I could only remember to bring my camera to the shop and then figure out how to attach photos via photobucket into this thread I'd be happy.

Re: TheMachinist
 

Coming along nicely Jordy.

What icon do you use to attach pictures? I use the 'square' icon that looks like a landscape.

Re: TheMachinist
 

The second loader is finally done.

Just a couple of photos of me at work. I'm running "The Beasty" my 1963 Union boringmill, with a Feller buncher head mounted on the table having it's Rotec bearing mount surfaced. Sorry for the fuzzy photos but I was using my cell phone.

Nice, works smoothly and has good power.

Re: TheMachinist
 

I'm amazed at the torque of these small servos. Nice idea you had with the arm and roller. I can see all kinds of uses for this application now.
