Default Bruder converted excavator with Magom Hydraulics.

Just thought I would share a few pictures and videos from my conversion. I gotta say I am very impressed with the Magom products. This thing went together surprisingly easy. There was a few part I fabricated myself for the drive mechanism but other than that it was so much easier than the skidloader I did from scratch. Since the video I have created a mix in my radio to increase pump speed with stick movement making all the movements much faster and way more power. I am also a much better operator than in the videos! Everything is still plastic with the exception of arm mount and base plate. So far I would say I have ran it for about 50 hours give or take.

Feel free to ask questions, comment, suggestions, anything.. I dont mind, thanks for looking.

Thanks Howie. I am very impressed with it, if I turn up the hydraulic pump it has too much power for the plastic arms and hinges, I bet it would literally break them! Control is very precise and its pretty quiet too. Once I wear out or break the plastic I will fabricate a steel arm and really do some digging.
