Hi,
I am planning to do a conversion of the Excavator shortly but as I am new in RC land, I thought to try first with something smaller and easier. So my choice went to the Bruder Delta Loader. ![]() Before starting to rip the toy apart and start the conversion I spent a lot of time searching the forum for pioneers who did do the conversion already. After looking several builds, I decided to go ahead with the version that was created by Smallhaul. So first of all thanks Smallhaul for his tutorial, I learnt a lot and am confident to start on the next Bruder conversion. I have completed the conversion in a timespan of 2 weeks (few hours in the evening and weekends). The job was more difficult than expected. Taking the toy apart required a lot of patience. ![]() It took a while before all my parts arrived (due to a lack of decent RC stores, I had to order most of the stuff from the internet). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'll try to post a video of the first run later |

I had a lot of fun today driving the delta.
Here is a video of the loader in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-3_5Qq-SZw I didn't try it out with sand as I want to keep the delta loader clean as I am planning to sell it because I need to recover my costs so I can start on my next model which will be the excavator. if anyone has interest in buying it you can let me know by private message. rgrds Koen |
