Well, need to order 3 more servo's for the rams for the boom/bucket.Been working on the rear plastic section ,getting the battery in,it fit like a glove.
Cut out some the unneeded plastic to make room for the electronics. Going to cut off the long bolt from the wheel and replace the hex nuts with some cap nuts. Few more pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Heavy duty Bruderism, great!
Is the screw drive an adapted hand-drill? One of those that you push with your hand - sometimes called Archimedean Drill? I think they might be much smoother than drill bits, as they are actually designed to be used for a drive (and not cutting). |
