New Year--New project

Since you've got it going through the bottom of the dozer, are you going to seal up the great gaping holes that Tamiya leaves in the gearboxes?

I'm going to try to make a working winch for my Bruder Manitou 2150. I'm planning on using the gearmotor from the extruder drive for a 3D printing pen as a starting point. They are a worm gear drive and the ones that I got off Ebay were listed at 11 RPM. I think that should work. As an FYI, an M3 bolt threads right into the Tamiya gearbox.

I've got a Bruder CAT Delta skid-steer partially converted to RC, it's mobile, but I'm still trying to figure out a way use something a little more realistic than servos for the lift and bucket curl. I made 3D printed drive sprockets for it and I got a nice press fit onto the 3mm hex gearbox output shafts.
