BOBCAT S300 SKID STEER LOADER
1 Attachment(s)
Here we go.
This is my first thread on this website, so I will try hard not to screw up. I recently purchased an ERTL S300 Bobcat skid steer loader from my local Bobcat dealer. I was convinced that I could turn it into an R/C, so that's when the chopping began. I have already finished the project, and will try and post pictures and explain things as I go along. Feel free to ask any questions, or leave comments. I would be more than happy to help a fellow r/c enthusiast out. Well here goes nothing. |

Maybe this? If anyone knows how to upload from photo bucket, I could use some help.

Re: BOBCAT S300 SKID STEER LOADER
I've thought about doing a conversion with ERTL models as well. The upload worked for me. Once you get used to photobucket use it;)

Replacing plastic cylinders with homemade metal ones.

Re: BOBCAT S300 SKID STEER LOADER
Time to install some drive motors. I used 4x Hitec HS85mg servo's modded to continuous rotation.

Re: BOBCAT S300 SKID STEER LOADER
Installed a skid plate and a HS55 for my bucket curl. I soon found out that cheaping out on servo's here is a big no no.

Re: BOBCAT S300 SKID STEER LOADER
Finally installed my new bucket curl with a Hitec HS82MG. This has enough lifting power for what I need now.
