Re: My Bruder excavator w/screwdrives
That looks amazing, a thumb would make moving that stuff alot easier. The boom looks very solid and i love the lights mounted on the sides like that , i may have to get a set from you.

Well,decided to make another boom for the Bruder,:eek:,like the servo further in the boom,seems to work better.Yea,thats a bucket pin from a real excavator for the counterweight on the door on my grill,last pic,LOL:)
Also uped the battery from 7.2/1800 mah to 3500 mah , running a Hitech 755mg servo in the boom. |
Re: My Bruder excavator w/screwdrives
Hey pumptech any chance you can show some close up pics of how you attached the servo to the track gears?
cheers |

Re: My Bruder excavator w/screwdrives
I'm trying to figure out the time line on your Bruder conversion. Is it about two years old now? Is it working good? Any maintenance issues or things you like or dislike?
Thanks, Jim |

Well decided to put the bruder excavator back on the workbench, nothing was wrong with it still running fine, wanted to experiment with a new style boom.In the process of building a new boom based off a pic I found of a demolition excavator .Also building a new arm with a thumb attachment , still have a lot of work to do on it, have a couple of pics so far , will get a test vid up soon
