Bruder Skid Steer Conversion

Here are some final finished pictures and a video will come shortly. So impressed with how steep an angle it can climb. A few things I need to change to are: a more powerful lift boom servo and change the existing ESC to a castle creations 6V BEC so I can get max rpm from the gear motors and max torque from the servos. But beyond that it is highly functioning and so much fun to operate!

Motocrawler, i found that if you place a pin every other notch (same place as you put the zip tie) the tracks run smoother.

Thats great to know! I actually cut the ends of the zip ties at 45 degree angles and reduced their width and that has really helped as well.

Here is a video of it working in the yard. Operator needs to get a little smoother with the controls, I spent about 1.5 hours yesterday digging, making roads, etc on a 1100mah battery. This is too much fun!
