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).

Hey Jensr Thanks
Just using a regular style masonary bit 1/4" ,been using this style for awhile have good luck with them.The Archimedean Drill would probaly work better,but mabey hard to find in my area,lol .Can't beat the price of the one's i'm using now ,around 3 to 5 bucks a bit.
Is this what your were referring

I would like to give a big thanks to whomever voted to make this a 5 star thread.
Thank you very much!!

Thanks everyone for all the postive comments


Finally got the loader together,the build went okay ,I guess ,had a few set backs on it.First tried to build the boom just like the factory boom,but wasn't going to get full hieght ,had to resort to plan b ,reverse it and put the servos in the boom.
Few more pics of the finshed model.
Will try and get a vid up real soon.

Thanks jigglepin,was a fun build.This makes my 4th bruder,along with the hobbyengine excavator /tonka dumptruck build.
I would say I have enough models for now , may take a break from building any new ones for a while ,Have already put my tonka dumptruck back on the workbench ,overhaul to the driveline,should keep me busy for a while.

(quote smallhaul)

Looks like you are having fun.

Be cool to see some videos of it moving loose dirt
