Bruder Cat Compactor Coversion

Looks great. I am working on one as well and for weight in the drum I had a jar from some olives that was the perfect size. Taped some foam strips to make an extra snug fit. Filled with water it was around 4.5lbs for the model and filled with pennies it brings it to just over 6.5lbs.

eBay. They are about 4 1/4" tall. They are 1.9" crawler tires.

Thanks for the info! I haven't pulled a drum apart yet to see what's in there. After spending two days making 4 wheels I haven't made much other progress.lol I will be having a look at the front end very soon.

Has anyone made the blade function? I would like to keep it on mine perhaps but an actuator is too big and I don't really want to use micro servos.
