Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

I DON'T know if the small N20 gear motors would be sufficient for this build or not. :confused: If the servo idea doesn't pan out, perhaps I'll attempt it with a couple of them. I don't even have a...

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

I've thought of gear motors, but haven't found any that will fit. I'm real limited with the amount of room on the inside for motors.

SmallHaul, on here does a conversion of these, :drool: & in...

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

Since I already have this one chopped up, for the way I intended to convert it, a little more chopping won't hurt.

I'm NOT sure if it'll show up, but here's a few pics of the Tamiya Xmish after I got one with it.
The Small blue gear ONLY has 3 teeth left on the whole gear!...

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

I had time this weekend to run it a bit. I've decided to scrap the current version & start over. I didn't even get a full battery pack through it, & had issues. The drive axle in the Tamiya gearbox...

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

I somewhat flattened a 20Ooz teardrop shaped fishing weight. I plan to trim it to shape, & place it in the dozer for more added weigh. I still have bugs to work out with it. Once my Email quits...

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

After looking at a few of his vids, I found the info for his builds. There's an internal RECHARGEABLE battery pack in his :) I LIKE that idea.

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

Do you have pictures of how & where the battery mounts in it? I'm struggling trying to figure out how to put the battery pack in it, while including the cab interior.

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

I've many questions about yours. Are the tracks still the stock Bruder kind? Is the cab interior still in it? What size battery pack is it running? Is/was any weight(s) added to it when it was...

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

A quick note about the lead weight. If you plan to drill a fishing weight, as I did, & it's pure lead, be prepared for a LOT of work. I'd get about 2 seconds of the drill working in the lead, then...

Re: Bruder small Cat conversion

Just a few more mods to do on the tracks, & then it'll be time to test it out. I know being plastic if WON't be durable, or powerful enough to push much of anything, but it'll still be fun.
