Here you go Ben.

http://www.leimbach-modellbau.de/

If you wanted to order the brushless motor from someone else overseas, other then Leimbach, you could probably take Leimbach's part number and find it in a German hobby shop of your choice.

Edit - I guess I couldn't get a direct link to take you right to the motor, but if you scroll down to their 'Hydraulik' section, you can see the brushless motor listed there. They make a 7.2 volt, and a 12 volt version.

No updates on the compactor, but while I've been waiting on paint for my KW and parts for the compactor, I've started working on a vac truck ( on a Scania single axle chassis), tweaking and refining operation and functions. I'll post a few pictures later today. Now that I'm getting a bit more free time I hope to make some better progress on all my builds.

I would do the vacuuming in the house if I had one of those! I need one for my shop come to think of it...Lots of aluminum filings on the floor to suck up!

Great job!

WOW! Looking fantastic thus far Ben! If you lived nearby you'd have a job as soon as it was completed.

What are you using for an induction motor/fan?

Thanks Reg, Rob and Joe. My daughter loves to clean up the granular rubber at the shows, along with driving so I figured this would be a great way for her to accomplish both and give me something to build that I had been thinking of for quite a long time.

Joe, I bought a cheap handheld cordless vac with the plans of using it as a donor, just to see if it would work......well it works but not to my standard so I plan on spending a bit more on another to get a more powerful fan and better impeller. I may also look into an induction fan for planes.

Which one of these induction fans might you pick for your project Ben?

That was a great build Neil, I believe his son has it now.

Joe- darn good selection there, I looked at Tower but was undecided. Hope to figure something out today.

Great build so far. Not sure I would let your daughter pic out the color scheme. Hate to see you show up at a show with a pink truck without your daughter there to drive it.

Funny Lynn......I asked and she said blue and black...sheww....we may be able to make that work .

I put in a new 18V vac motor and intake, reworked the hopper and I've got suction now, installed a dump servo and Firgelli to raise send lower the vac housing. Now I'm happy with it! Now I can proceed with electronics and exterior details.

Vac trucks' all painted, slowly going back together. Just got 2 more cylinders for the compactor. I've been too busy with work to play.
