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).

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?
