Thank you! Once I had it worked ou in my head it was really just a case of measuring & cutting/grinding everything very accurately. 🙂👍

I've just seen it - Brilliant! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtl5gadzsNXOeKc.html 🙂👍

Thank you 🙏🏻

Many thanks - I do too! 😂🙂👍

Hi & welcome to the channel! Thank you for subscribing. I hope what you find here, quite a mix over the years - I'm into everything RC really, but the Bruder conversions are really holding my attention at the moment. 🙂👍

Thank you. I must admit I was going to put the arm on the left, but the mode 1 transmitter that I was going to use only had one mix and I needed 3. I used the mode 2 Spektrum transmitter - as I thought this is what a lot of people might have - or something like it. I’ll probably bind this to the DX10 - which lets you choose what is on a spring by screwing up or loosening a small screw. I can then try the set up you describe - as it might be more intuitive for a right handed person anyway - my cars, boats & aircraft all have throttle on the left, so it makes sense to me. 🙂👍

You might have a point on the gearing, I think they do go slightly lower - I’ll have a look on EBay.

@@thatsmyrc Haha, yes I would like to build one like yours, brother. My D5 is not even close to the one you showed us😎. Sure, it works, but not as smoothly as yours. And about the setup, I have it like that because I thought it could work. But like I mentioned, my brain is hardwired with steering on the left hand and blade/bucket on the right hand. That's because 99% of all real machine's are that way. And like I said, I have been operating loaders,excavators,graders,dozer,jumpers,forestrymachines and various farm equipment both professional and for fun since about 7-8 years old so I do actually have a bit experience. I will happily help if I can.

@@thatsmyrc Okay, well i thought you night have a little experince too😉. At the moment i work underground mining Gold so.. Been operating those machines as well. But 36 hours a week is not enough haha..

Thank you! 😀👍

That is on my ever growing list. I have the toy, but have not yet figured out yet how I want to do this one. 😀👍

@@RCModders go to my channel I got the bottom figured out to where I'm really happy with it I'm trying to print a mount for rear servo for the bucket arm

I know you can do it you are great at building these I've got to finish mine up

Thank you Del, I really like this one & it works nicely - very easy to control - both the wood chip clearance and the fork lift challenge could keep a person entertained for hours! It did take a bit of working out & the only thing I had to change was the gearbox motors to a lower ratio - it was a bit disappointing before I did that -its about optimum in that respect now, without going to bigger motors or posher speed control (like the Sabretooth unit, which is much bigger anyway).I'm glad you noticed the stick direction. Initially it is more intuitive the other way round, but a bit like the elevator on an aircraft I think that you pull back to go up. The RC excavator works this way - as I believe do the real ones (think what you would do inside the cab). I'm sure I could get used to it either way & it is slightly less intuitive like this with the fork lift prongs attached - where the instinct is to go up when you want to raise the load.The self levelling bucket (with a small trim change for fork lift prongs) is really the key to this being so easy to use.I've never been in a real one, one of my pals thinks that I would enjoy Diggerland - just seen this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJpgpM6k0czepoU.html Pete 🙂👍

@@RCModders Now that you´ve likened your chosen stick-control orientation to operating an RC aircraft´s elevators I´m finding it easier to understand your choice. Diggerland looks tremendous fun!

Indeed it does! 😀😀😀

RC Modders I have a little experience running a farm tractor with a loader and it works just the same as you have the remote set up. Pull back towards yourself is up, forward is down, to the left curls the bucket up, and right curls the bucket down. Great work on this unit! Very clean and looks just like the original.

Thanks Ethan & nice to hear from you again. And thank you for clearing this matter up! It is a very satisfying build (in that it works very nicely) and I would recommend it to anyone as a first Bruder conversion - cheap parts, no specialist tools or techniques, cheap model (just buy another one if it goes a bit wrong somewhere). 🙂👍

Thank you! I think that Jeff from Custom Crawlers might be you man for custom build (not sure if he is doing this one yet). Had a quick look - your slide shows look great (I have subscribed). Painting is one thing I avoid (I am not good at it - the whole can always goes on at once etc), I'm more a Dremel, screwdriver and solder man! 🙂👍

I want to update this build first. Then there will be free to download files and video builds. 😀👍

I think they are quite different model. I haven't done the tracked one yet. Usually people convert two standard RC servos to continuous rotation and use these to drive the tracks. The forum is great place to learn & get tips : facebook.com/groups/313698865844090/?fref=nf. 😀👍

Thank you! One ESC must have the red wire disconnected (can lift up tab on plug, pull out and cover with head shrink or tape. Be care full that the big servo never stalls (ie tries to move further than lifting arm goes - as it will blow the BEC on the ESC and you will have to use the other ESC or install a UBEC. The speed controllers are connected to the elevator and aileron channels on the receiver. You then mix them plus or minus 100% to each other in both directions. You may have to experiment with the direction of the servos, the polarity of the motors and direction of the mixes until it all works the right way. The bucket servo was attached with epoxy. I’m trying to get round to the detailed build video. Going to use budget rc - but it must have at least 2 free mixes for the steering to work. Hope this helps😀👍

RC Modders Finally finish mine! Work very well and thank you for you help. Realy proud to use N20 motor like you do. You can see a video of it working on my profile.

I have never converted a servo to continuous rotation, so I don't know. I expect that it will depend on the gear ratios etc of each. Using my method, the mounting of the wheels to the motors is very easy and the motors are smaller than servos, although you will need to ESC's, which then need to be housed. The 6v 100rpm N20's seem to give a good balance between torque and speed in my opinion (200 rpm not enough torque or controllability & too fast) .🙂👍

You can get 17g ones to fit under it

About 3mm I think. I just kept adding plastic abs sheet until it looked right. 😀👍

Yes I am. Plus a full build series. I want to show mixing for both Spektrum and FRsky (Open TX). 😀👍

@@RCModders Thank you! I just picked up a Delta Cat the other day for conversion. Enjoying your channel :)

@@jesscneal Good luck with! 😀👍

@@RCModders Another question for you. Do you think a pair of 220rpm 150:1 N20 gearmotors are sufficient for a Bruder Delta Cat conversion? I know you have a lot of experience with them so I thought I would ask you.

@@jesscneal Hi, having tried different motors I can say with certainty that 200rpm is too fast and has too little control or torque. 6v 100rpm is probably the fastest I would want in this and is what I used in the end in the skid loader. For the delta I would be tempted to look into servo drive - as I'm not sure that two N20's would be powerful enough. You may be interested to know that I am updating this build with 3D parts - which I will make freely available to download and print. I am planning that the comprehensive video build series on skid loader will follow immediately on from the Jeep wrangler series which I am currently publishing each week. 😀👍

They should still be there. :)

They are not :( I am also looking for them.....

2s. 7.4v nominal voltage.

I expect you mean ESCs (Electronic Speed Controllers). These are easy to find on Amazon. Just search for "20 amp ESC" and you should be able to find them. 😀👍

Great! I hope you like what you've found. 😀👍

Not yet. But the latest version of this is all 3D printed. I'll publish the parts when I do the build video. :)

This one: rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142749719667 🙂👍

Not at the moment - but I may do in the future! 😀👍

No I don’t sell them, I just build them and post videos showing how I did it. Although if I end up with two of these after the build videos for this one I might stick one on eBay to help recover some costs.

@@RCModders how much would u be looking for as my son would really enjoy one of these as he is Bruder daft

@@RCModders no problem have contacted you via Facebook

I don’t do custom builds. Just show others how to do themselves. 🙂👍
