Default Re: My Bruder excavator w/screwdrives

Well decided to put the bruder excavator back on the workbench, nothing was wrong with it still running fine, wanted to experiment with a new style boom.In the process of building a new boom based off a pic I found of a demolition excavator .Also building a new arm with a thumb attachment , still have a lot of work to do on it, have a couple of pics so far , will get a test vid up soon

I am using 1/4" masonary auger bits ,found at any hardware store ,wood auger bits will work also ,incased in 3/8" SST tubing with two set screws to travel in the valleys of the bit.
Here's my build thread over at scale 4x4 ,have tweaked it a little since then ,but basically still the same method.

Been working on the excavator a little here and there ,will get a update soon.
