How much would it cost to make a bruder schaeff radio control with everything redone in 3d printed parts and with a proper thing that makes it turn ? Can some one give me a breakdown of the whole cost ?

That's an awfully small model to convert to RC. I'm working on an RC conversion of a Bruder Manitou 2150 using off the shelf components when ever possible, and there are times when I think it's too small.

I'm not saying it can't be done, the RC Tractor Guy on youtube works in 1/32 scale and performs miracles, but he uses a lot of custom designed radio parts.

If you are wondering what it would cost to have it done, I've probably got a hundred hours or more in the design for my 2150, 3D modeling the Bruder in CAD and designing the 3D printed replacement parts. I might be about 40% done, if I'm lucky. I've got the running gear, the leveling pads, the ESC multiplexing systems, and the turret rotation gear-train designed. I've still got the boom elevation, boom extension, fork tilt, and removable winch to design.

I guess that's a Bruder HR16?

A bigger machine would likely be easier to work on and more capible, but we can't wait to see what you manage.

If it comes down to it, you could even throw some 1/87 scale electronic parts like they use to build 'tttt'
