Bruder Delta tracked loader

Thanks ModelMan, it can be tedious.

Thanks Steve, I was surprised how much power it has myself. When I first powered it up the bec from the saber tooth esc wasn't enough to run everything so, I added a 5 volt 5 amp (continuous) bec feeding just the lift and curl.

Scott that is insane! It seems to have a lot of power to spare. very nice.

Very nice conversion, you were pretty smooth on the controls too. Do you mind if I ask about how long it took to do.

Thanks, it took about 50 hours to build. I spent 2 days just making and figuring out the mounts for the twin bucket curl servos and doing the wiring for them. It took a lot of time figuring out how the get all of the servo power transfered to the lifting arm as well. The more I think about it, it was probably than 50 hours but, I enjoy making these creations it feels like driving powerful little robots when they are done

I was asked for more info on this build and thought I would just post it up here for everyone to benifit.

Here is a parts list of what I used to build it:


Nomadio Sensor radio
Tamiya gearbox
2 x slotcar motors (tamiya motors are 3.5 volts and fry quickly)
Saber tooth motor controller
5 volt 5 amp (continuous) bec
Hitec Digital HS-7955 TG lift servo
2 x Align Digital DS410M servos for bucket curl

Nice conversion I still don't see how you guys get all of the necessary components inside one of these little vehicles

Scott, nice job on the Loader looks great and seems to have a lot of power. seemed to work really well in the video.

Great build! Thanks for showing what motors you used with the Tamiya gearbox. I've been stuck on my Bruder conversion looking for replacements for the stock Tamiya ones. Looked at everything except slotcars - DOH!

Hey Scott nice work and boy is that thing fast. It just about the right size for your Tonka truck. Ed

Hi SmallHaul,
I am new rc land and loving your bruder conversion guide! Excellent work. I will give it a try myself. In case I fail, I guess you are still selling the RTR model, right? Any indication of the price?
Btw which motors do you use from professor motor?

I'll shoot you a PM. I use 35,000 @ 12v slot car motors because you only feed them 7.2 volts. I don't remember motor name I'll look it up.
