Here is a parts list of what I used to build it:


Nomadio Sensor radio
Tamiya gearbox
2 x slotcar motors (tamiya motors are 3.5 volts and fry quickly)
Saber tooth motor controller
5 volt 5 amp (continuous) bec
Hitec Digital HS-7955 TG lift servo
2 x Align Digital DS410M servos for bucket curl

Thank you very much. I really enjoy the engineering challenge of getting strength & power out of these little machines.

I improved the bucket curl mounts. The mounts on the prototype loader work fine but, they don't like nice.

This design has more rigidity and protects the servos from getting hit:

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...2.jpg~original

With the servo screw heads milled down it allows the two servos (sitting back to back) to fit nicely in the lift assembly and creates a rigid assembly.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...2.jpg~original

I also made beefier aluminum drive hubs. I'll post up pics later when I get the 4-40 screws that I ordered for them.

quoted for INFO below here, NOT for images
Since I had to order more parts, I have a more accurate list:

Radio system
Tamiya twin motor gearbox
shims for tamiya gearbox assembly (you loose about 10 to 20% of gear contact on some of them if you leave them sloppy)
silicone to seal gearbox up (makes it last a very long time)
2 x slotcar motors (tamiya motors are 3.5 volts and fry quickly)
Aluminum stock to make drive hubs
4-40 screws & washers to secure gearbox to chassis
Saber tooth motor controller
5 volt 5 amp (continuous) bec
Hitec Digital HS-7955 TG lift servo
2 x hitec hs-5065mg digital servos for bucket curl
Hitec servo programmer
3" Y harness to join the 2 bucket curl servos
2 x 12" male servo leads to extend the bucket curl servos
heat shrink for all of the bucket curl servo wiring
piece of bicycle inner tube for lift lever cover (need to post pics)
4-40 rod and clevis for lift lever
lead weight
and 1 boat load of patience

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.

Step 1:
Cut out the back area for the the boom lift servo:

Step 2:
Make the bucket curl automation, this proved to be extremely difficult because of the various pivot points and size constraint. It was very hard to get a position where the bucket would curl all the way down and up:

I attached the drive wheels by use of a aluminum hub, I first filled the wheel with JB Weld so I had a way of mounting the hub.

From there I made the sprockets using zip ties-this method has been documented and used on several other conversions online (credit to smallhaul for this).

A few things I need to change to are: a more powerful lift boom servo and change the existing ESC to a castle creations 6V BEC so I can get max rpm from the gear motors and max torque from the servos. But beyond that it is highly functioning and so much fun to operate!
