Hi All

As a newbie, I have heard the name Bruder, do they make bodies for the trucks? also do they have cargo? thinking of shipping containers etc...

Where can I see there stuff related to RC Trucking?

Thanks

I can't be positive, but I believe the Bruder stuff are static models that guys are converting to RC themselves, just using the body parts etc of the model.

Bruder is at the higher end of nicely detailed plastic toys. The are 1/16 th scale for the most part. The durability is second to none as far as toys go. My 4 1/2 year old has a dozen or so of the trucks and equipment, some of the pieces he had for about 2 1/2 years and has yet to break them, and yes they see sandbox duty regularly. They have a nice line of Mack granite trucks that a lot of guys are using the bodies for RC. PMD has a conversion for the Granite, check it out! Good luck!

There is also a subforum here for the conversions.

No I think what he meant was that the forum should have a sub forum here just for Bruder conversions.

That would be a good idea.

I presume you mean the garden truck forum? If so the page does not open?
Has anyone been there lately?

Cheers
