Hello from uk,great forum you have here,ive been looking in for a while.
Ive converted a bruder skidsteer loader to rc and im currently stretching a bruder lowloader,if anyone can tell me the height of the fifth wheel from the ground on a std tamiya truck that would be helpful.
I currently have quite a few bruder models awaiting conversion,its just finding the time.

My King Hauler from fifth wheel sits just under 4 inches tall, or right at 10cm. Hope this helps...

Hello Bobcat,

I'm too in the UK and would like to try and convert a bruder D5 dozed to rc, I'm doing research at the moment but as your in the UK you could help with best places to get the parts from for the results I'm after.

Please help

Hi Thermonty73
Most people use the tamiya twin motor gearbox for the drive, although the plastic gears can be a bit fragile and the motors really need changing to 12v scalextric type motors, i got one off ebay for about £10 delivered for another project, then you just need a couple of micro servos for the blade, ebay is a good place to start..........hope this helps,oh and theres a build thread here

They have been very helpfull still a little confused about wiring motors up to work as i would like them too and voltages but i'm hoping that i can learn that as i'm going along. Looking forward to build it may even post pics to get peoples opinion.

Cheers
