Pumptech : i cant take credit for the metal work that was my dad, i cut the shapes out and he welded it for me when i was at work didnt make a build thread for my bruder to be honest i struggled with the screwdrives they didnt seem to have any power, we got it working i moved some sand with it then it got shelved and i started building this.[/QUOTE]

Well, you and your dad are off to a good start , looks to be thin gauge sheet metal ,seeing the heat coloration ,have to be speedy welding that.May have to beef up the boom were it meets the arm a little (pivot point) ,just a thought.
As for the Bruder ,had my troubles with mine in the beginning, finally got it where I want it,finding the right servos,made a metal bucket for it,digs sand ,loose dirt ok.
