Carson 634 Fun modifications

Hi, here is a link to my latest video. I have modified many machines. This was definitely different. But of course, it was well worth it. Thanks for watching!

You must have taken hours to make that work and I have to say it is one of the best "finishing touches" I've seen in a long time.

Well worth the effort IMO and you've made my morning here

Amazing job!

[Trucker Al]

Very unique and well done ... BRAVO !!

you sir have brought RC another step closer to perfect realism. Well done!
I would love one of them for my excavator. Head turns when swinging, right arm boom up left arm stick......oh yeah

As a finishing touch you should plan a trip to visit Brian from exclusive rc , get your picture taken and make your head for the operator.

Thanks for sharing! So cool

I would like to see how you made the operator work, it is an amazing job.

Thanks. The realism is pretty cool. I have freaked out a few people that have seen it in person.

So Brian can do that with a pic? Put it on a head of a figure like that?

Yup! The photo has to be taken with some kind of high quality camera but yes, he can 3D print a copy of your face onto a bruder person.

Man, that would be funny. My kids would laugh... I guess I could easily just switch out the Bruder heads.... Maybe I should put some famous persons face on there. LOL...

That makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!!!

So how did you do it? Micro servos & two radio mixes with for/rev ch & turning?

Yep... Micros controlling a simple lever on a fulcrum for each hand. Then the mixes on my dx10. I love the Spektrum as you do. So I have been getting better and better and better with my mixing. But the mixing for this took a while to get right.
I mentioned "simple" in the first sentence. The concept is very simple for the mechanical aspect. But modifying the interior and the Bruder figure so it had the realistic movements was a huge challenge. Took forever. One of those "Oh I will knock this out, it won't take me that long to do this" kind of things, but it wasn't. Totally worth it,,,, I love it!
Thanks.
