Re: Bruder lowbed

No , cause that would require me to have a few trailers and with my limited tools building stuff takes a long time. I did see a couple years back someone did make an RC version of this truck.

Re: Bruder lowbed

I can tell you the axles and mounts are plenty strong, I no longer have this trailer. I took it to work and tied it to the back of my work truck.

Re: Bruder lowbed

The wheels needed a little bling so I got creative. My office chair had these chrome caps that covered where the screws were in the arm rest. A little prying and they popped off and made perfect...

Re: Bruder lowbed

Being a Peterbilt guy , I flipped the mirrors from one side to the other and mounted them upside down. Doing this lowers them as you can see in this pic. Note the landing gear is down to support the...

Re: Bruder lowbed

I used it for display , as long as it was hooked up to a truck with the landing legs down for support I could put my 30pound Premacon machines on it. Raise the legs and the trailer would bend at the...

Re: Bruder lowbed

I would later find out that this trailer would hold a 185 pound friend, the deck portion anyway. The neck was the weak link and the reason it wouldn't be strong enough for use with my Premacon...

Re: Bruder lowbed

At this point if all I was going to haul around was my Bruder excavator it wouldn't have needed any more strength but I thought I might use it for my Premacon machines so I added more aluminum to the...

Re: Bruder lowbed

Re: King Hauler dump truck

To make the bends in the visor i used a cutting board and the edge of the kitchen counter. The wife wasn't too happy about this method.

Re: Bruder excavator

Hey Joe, i did a lot of research and found that what i needed for an excavator was L12-100-100-6-R actuators. They have good power and travel length.

Re: King Hauler dump truck

Thanks Joe, this was built using very limited tools. A hacksaw blade , utility knife, one file, screwdrivers, sand paper, JB weld and that's about it.
