Default Re: Bruder 574 RC conversion weekend project!




I re-purposed the original Bruder axles in both ends of the boom cylinders. The new lengths were 100mm and 85mm. I cut away that part that previously held the wheels.






I 3D-printed another stencil to help guide where the holes in the bottom should be. It's important to do this before cutting away the original axle mounts, otherwise there will be no reference points:






3D-printed a stencil for the top holes as well:












The top cylinder is mounted with two M4 screws:




For the boom cylinder mounts, i just added something to avoid them sliding inwards:
