allright.. here goes. im new to the scratch building of equipment, so I was woundering if anyone had some plans or a parts list I could get from them.. I know hydrolic is spendy so I was hoping to go electric.. I guess what im asking is what motors would I need for the under carriage on a shovel or a dozer? what acutuaters for the boom or arms. and the center pivoit point so the wires don't get twisted up? im sorry like I said im a newbie. thanks guys

no one wants to help out?

I am a newbie too!!! I have never built a dossier, or an excavator, but I am starting a dump truck and loader bruder conversion now!!! I can't help you much on drive motors, I am converting servos to 360* rotation for my drive axles, and I am using hydraulics for the boom and bucket on the loader, servos for steering, and a servo converted to a screw drive for the dump bed!!! I haven't actually done all this yet, it's just a plan!!! I know there was one excavator build where someone found a turntable with 6 contacts for transferring the power for the drive motors, look at some of the bruder model conversions and you should find where they got it!!! As for drive motors some convert servos, and some just buy motors and mount them!!! The ferelli (might not be spelt right) actuators are great mini actuators that will plug straight into your receiver like a servo!!! Speed controller is built in them!!! I might use some on future builds if I don't do hydraulic on all my builds!!! I am sorry I can't help you more, but once I do some I will be more than happy to share any info I can with you!!! Good luck!!!

Buddie, I build trucks w/o hydraulics (so far). The other members should be able to answer your questions.

I suggest to look at the Construction Equipment Tech thread.

Good Luck

thanks guys.. time to do some studing... at least to see what way to go I guess.

Www.Magomhrc.com is where I bought my hydraulic kit, but they also have a lot of bruder accessories to help with conversions!!!

Here is a pre-built turn table that is offered, also another site with a lot of bruder conversion parts!!! I tried to find this for you yesterday, but didn't have time to hunt it down!!!
