Re: 90 ton 1/14 metal excavator scratch build w/embedded PC

Re: Eagle 870k loader modifications: Light kit and more..

Every time I run this loader, I get a little annoyed by the drive system. I think it has been beautifully crafted and it's really nice to look at, but it doesn't function like I want it too.

Re: Bruder 574 RC conversion weekend project!

Hi Zabco!

I actually ran those lights two years before I did the conversion. I don't have a picture, but I can try to take one when I have it in pieces the next time. It's really simple, almost as...

Re: Bruder CAT 320 excavator RC conversion

I will be using Actuonix linear actuators for the boom on this build, trying to keep it all kid & indoor friendly (e.g. no oil, over-discharge prevention, auto shutoff of remote, etc). So it won't be...

I tried to make the swing mechanism as simple as possible. It's currently made up of one worm gear motor (20rpm, 12v, 6mm axle), a steel rigid flange coupling (6mm axle, M3 holes). The motor and the...

Re: ADT build

I'm SO happy you got the steering servo working. I felt really bad about telling you to get one, and then it didn't work. I'm really relieved now! :-)

Looking forward to more great pics!

Re: ADT build

The switches look to be in the right position. Could you also share a picture of it when you have the servo cable connected?

And if it still doesn't work, maybe try the switch in "S" position...

Re: Eagle 870k loader modifications: Light kit and more..

Thanks again, buys. I agree on the mesh and I've also had a look at the crawler chains. Those look pretty good. But I fear even with those that it will be slippery. I'm contemplating to weave my own...
