My Bad :o
I should have mentioned that so there wasn't any confusion and yes Albert is one of the best guys I've met as well. This hobby seems to be full of great people and I look forward to meeting more in person.

I made up a grapple attachment. Loading pipe onto a Tamiya trailer. I tried to keep it light, strong and simple.

Scott. Very cool and a nice addition to the build. Anything else your going to try.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Thanks Rob.

One of my customers asked me to make the grapple actually work so, I made it for Him. He also wants one with servo control that I might make in a few months when he is ready. It will take some time to make and I'll need the loader to run the wiring, make mounts, arm for grapple etc.. and set it up. I might do motorized forks and maybe a powered auger attachment in the future as well (more customer ideas).

Hey Scott, very clever engineering!

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

WOW this is very cool!!! P/m with details on the build time and price i might be interested in one! Thanks

J.D., PM sent Thanks.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

I'm converting a Bruder also. Would you please post the pics of the aluminum
hubs? Thanks, Joe

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Joe, I can't find any pics of the beefier ones that I make now but, these are my prototype hubs that are on my prototype loader still. Just make the hub larger where the screws are so that you can make the 4-40 screws tight without worrying about striping out the aluminum threads. I also put flat spots on the axle where the screws hit.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

dont really know what im doing but im gonna take a shot at building one of these My bruder and a few of the parts are on the way, Sorry smallhaul I just had to see if i had the talent you have

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Just take your time on each step when you build it. They are a lot of fun to operate. Good luck.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

WoW!:cool: You are an artist at building these conversions! Can you PM me an estimate RTR?:)

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Thanks Lars, PM sent.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

These look awesome, all your builds are amazing, also love the tonka dump truck one, would really like to see your builds but im in the wrong side of the ocean :D:D will pm you with a few questions Thnks

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Hi SmallHaul,
I am new rc land and loving your bruder conversion guide! Excellent work. I will give it a try myself. In case I fail, I guess you are still selling the RTR model, right? Any indication of the price?
Btw which motors do you use from professor motor?

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Thank you very much.

I'll shoot you a PM. I use 35,000 @ 12v slot car motors because you only feed them 7.2 volts. I don't remember motor name I'll look it up.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

I am about to order my parts as well. Just a little lost with the motors from professor motor. Not a lot of information on the site to make sure I got the right size and voltage for the motors. Do you have a type nr?

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

I just looked it up and it is the JK falcon II motor.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

I'll make a start to get the Delta loader converted. Went to the toy store last weekend and bought the Delta Loader.
I just finished all my online orders for all the parts as per SmallHaul' shopping list (Big Thank You! for sharing that with the bruder conversion crowd).
If this conversions works fine, I will try to convert the bagger as well. I could not leave the toy store without taking it home as well :)

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Great, Thanks! just did the order as well so that completes the entire list. Awaiting the deliveries now... :)

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

can i have one of those

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

You can not ask to buy things in the open forum that is what the B/S/T forum is for. You also have to be a member for three months and have 50 post to use the B/S/T forum. I ask that you take the time to read the rules to make your time here a positive experience.

Thanks

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Scott,

Could you offer me any info/advice on how to modify one of the Bobcat brand T-190 skid steers toys to have proportional speed control.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Hey SmallHaul,

First timer here and I have quietly been working on my own bruder tracked loader conversion. I must say that things are getting pretty tight inside. I am trying to get everything to spec from your pics and advice that you have posted but it seems that I am just not quite getting the whole picture. My loader looks good and runs like a champ but I have only converted the driving part of it so far. Also, I can't close the body down all the way probably due to excess wiring. My battery is in the drivers compartment... I have thought long and hard about inquiring about one of yours RTR but at the same time, I don't want to give up on myself. I just want that satisfaction knowing that I did it myself... If this isn't a dead thread, and I really hope it isn't, than I would really like to maybe post some pics and get my build back in line...

Thanks

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Mike, I didn't see that this was posted. You could use a dual motor controller from robotmarketplace to run the drive.

I heavily gut out the inside of it and it is tight to get everything in it. Make a new thread of your build and post lots of pics and I can help. Don't give up! You'll get yours finished. You probably just need to remove more material out of the body. These conversions take a LOT of patience.:)

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Love the conversion and thanks for the parts list that helps alot

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

nice job i di it but withe low cost :)

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

I searched for the JK falcon II motor, on both sites, but I am unable to find anything. Is there a newer/different motor that you're using for this conversion now?

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

It looks like the JK Falcon II motor is out of stock. You can look up the specs for that motor and get one that is within 5k rpm's of it and it will work fine.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Thank-you sir, for that info. One more question, You mention shims for the Tamiya gearbox, Where does one acquire the shims? Are you referring to the brass inserts that are included in the kits, or something else?

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

You are welcome.

When you assemble the gear box check the gear contact from gear to gear. You want 100% of the width of the gear to be in contact with gear that it is driving..so, lets say that only 80% of the gear is contacting the gear that it is driving so basically you are loosing 20% of the gears strength. I use small shim washers to make the contact 100%. Hope that all makes sense.. you are setting the side to side contact not the gear mesh.

Re: Bruder Delta tracked loader
 

Now I understand. Thanks for the reply.
