Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader

Re: Stahl dozer gear boxes and drive motors
That is great that you found the gears. I wouldn't drill the gear out to 2mm because you want a pressed/interference fit. Make the hole .002 (two thousandths) smaller than the shaft and press the...

Re: Stahl dozer gear boxes and drive motors
Eddie, in my box of gears i had long pinion gears that were long enough to reach. If you search the net you should be able to find some. You only need about 2mm of shaft in the gear to hold it well...

We'll have a blast making the dirt roads tomorrow.

Re: Is this hobby dying in the US?
I agree with the comments that in general the younger generation doesn't have that much interest in physical/mechanical toys or entertainment.

9W Steve, maybe we should ask for top soil this year? I think the year they gave us top soil was the best dirt we ever had.

Re: Taranis X9E
The rotating top on the joystick is nice option, it would be good for steering a truck. That is a really good price for an entire 3 axis joystick assembly.
Great info thanks.
