new cement mixer project
got a bruder mixer for a good price (thanks jammer), so i picked it up. also had a semi joe custom daycab that i never did anything with, so i put them together, and they look pretty good. thought i try a show mixer look, the work truck look has been done..
after a bit of dremeling to metallica that is... added some alum 10 hole and super singles.. Last edited by bigdogrod; 02-25-2016 at 11:10 PM. |

Re: new cement mixer project
then i figured the drum should turn, and i wanted to keep the stock gear, so i thought why not flip it? so a bit more dremeling and now the gear shaft protrudes through the bottom of the frame, i can connect to a servo real easy. i plan to have a working water tank on the top too, which was another reason to flip the front piece.

Re: new cement mixer project

Re: new cement mixer project
Thats one nice pete in the making and the mixer on the back suits the chassis length, but thats no KW and not precise enough, (sorry couldn't help my self )
Cheers Tracy

Re: new cement mixer project
nenard... good luck, let us know how it turns (pun intended) out. you could use a micro servo in the water tank to turn the gear, but i'm hoping i can make the tank functional...
cossett: i see what you're saying... wrong grille... that's my bad, i had to use the kw grille joe had on there somewhere else, let me see if i can come with something better.. it sort of looks like freightliner, but also kw as well, but the fenders are too flat, i think the pete 387 might be close, at least it has the drop window thanks for the suggestion Last edited by bigdogrod; 02-26-2016 at 08:20 AM. |

Re: new cement mixer project
It is a very good idea, you'll make it work the mixer?

Re: new cement mixer project
yes, that was the goal in flipping the front mount, i plan on using a constant rotation servo mounted in the frame

Re: new cement mixer project
mall crawler.. err mixer
i'm thinking of ditching the fenders for some regular pmd ones, the sculpted double humps are a bit much... |

Re: new cement mixer project
Like both types of fenders but the normal ones are more what you see on 1-1's

Re: new cement mixer project
That's one a really nice looking rig. I am glad you are sharing your build pictures and information, as I have a new King Hauler that I would like to build into a Mixer. Can't wait to see more pictures.
Thanks again for sharing, Ken |
