The Bruder was my first attempt at an RC conversion.
Now I'm going to try to mod this dump truck. Origionally i thought it was a 1960 vintage Tonka but it is actually a Chinese replica of a 1949 Tonka toy.
Again I will try to follow in Small hauls footsteps

Good job! Looks like your skid steer is working nice.

That dump truck you are converting looks nice and heavy. It will be a fun build to watch.

I was impressed with the quality of construction even though it's a Chinese copy. At least I won't feel bad cutting it up. This one will only be 2 wheel drive. I'm going to save the 4x4 drivetrain for a real Tonka.

Got the front axle built today and I'll form the leaf springs tommorow. Now if I could only remember to bring my camera to the shop and then figure out how to attach photos via photobucket into this thread I'd be happy.

I also got all the motors and ESC for the Moxy today.

Coming along nicely Jordy.

What icon do you use to attach pictures? I use the 'square' icon that looks like a landscape.

Just a couple of photos of me at work. I'm running "The Beasty" my 1963 Union boringmill, with a Feller buncher head mounted on the table having it's Rotec bearing mount surfaced. Sorry for the fuzzy photos but I was using my cell phone.

I'm amazed at the torque of these small servos. Nice idea you had with the arm and roller. I can see all kinds of uses for this application now.
