SO MANY QUESTIONS.... I've wanted to do some Bruder conversions. Even though the secret is out, and they're no longer cheap! 😠😭 I'm not a great teacher either. But I can't find a decent (in ENGLISH) Bruder conversion video. That looks great! ......and I know who sells those 2 hole Budds too, and I ain't telling either!
That’s a really good looking Mack! I have thought about up converting my Bruder Mack into an RC but it’s a lot more work than I have time for between a few time job and the fire department 😅
Do you sill build these? If so how much would one of the new Granite plow trucks with sanders run? The sander can just work mechanically as its supposed to, and lighting i would be able to do. want to do custom lighting that i specialize in but have been wanting to do a realistic plow truck. im afraid if i attempted this without a conversion kit id probably butcher it.
@@dennybobsrcconstructionagc2796 thank you for that information….. as for the motor. Where can I find such? . I m thinking about using a spectrum receiver and my DX8 Tx

Those 25mm diameter motors are everywhere. Sometimes referred to as 370 motors. Due to having too many issues, getting bad motors from sources like Ebay, Amazon, and Aliexpress, I changed my source. www.servocity.com/170-rpm-econ-gear-motor/
The tires are LESU S-1213 rears and S-1216 fronts and are mounted on Xtra Speed Beadlock white wheels. 1.7" wheels 84mm tall tires. This information was all listed in the video description.
That's exactly what I was looking for. One more question what's a good rpm for the geared motors and I'm doing a ertl lowboy like you I'm working on the connection for the trailer not to the 5th wheel if you have any ideas I would appreciate it and just to let you know wpl axles fit pretty good on the the ertl trucks
I just cut the axle in 2. I use a 1/4" nut, a vise and a blue wonder bar to take the axle out of the stock wheels. Otherwise it is super tough to take off the wheels.
Great job! Are those 25GA370 motors? I'm asking because there are also 25GA310 motors which are shorter, and maybe you are using both so you know pros and cons.
The longer 370 motors and 200rpm 12V. I have some projects where width may be an issue, but using 100rpm 310 for those projects. Those will go into an end loader with larger tires.
Allen I sure wished I had that kind of time to do that, but to be honest I have a dozen or more projects that I need to get finished. With my own projects, projects I already have promised, my full time job and family I just don't have the time right now. That being said that is why I don't even wanna shoot you a price right now either, but I will. Truck like this RTR is about $850.00USD + shipping costs. With you supplying your own items listed above is only gonna save you about $100.00usd. To be honest I am not sure when I would ever get to it at this time.
Yes, they are what you would call 370's I guess. Now using Servocity 170RPM motors in most all my builds that are done this way now. I pay a little more for them but feel I get better quality and longevity.
Wish these were somwhere purchasable. As i am no builder, i like to use toy but not build or maintainance them to much. Sadly i only find high quality european Trucks to buy :(.
@@dennybobsrcconstructionagc2796 thanks for the response. Reason I ask is my kyosho Blizzard kept on burning the 370's. So I want to find a better set up. I want more torque and more realistic speed. Snowcats aren't fast.
Freddy I do not really build these to sell. I just build most all of them for my own RC collection. Most of the time when I price them those who were interested scatter. LOL This one was built for someone, but they backed out and I decided to keep it. I did however sell 2 of my oldest trucks this year.
King Kong RC and Tamiya has these type wheels in metal. Super detailed hubs with 2mm hex bolts. 1.75” diameter, tires can be purchased with a few different tread patterns. I like K.K. prices better, Tamiya is way over priced.
Not sure how you managed to make them look simplistic and highly detailed at the same time but these are on another level. Too cool👍🏾.
Thanks
Another ace build. Very professional as always D B. Looks great.
Thanks

Is very cool looking truck, might have to get one now.
Sweet truck! just built my first King Hauler and tanker trailer.
Great job man I'm considering practically the same bridge conversion with the same wheels. Nice color. Those tamiya size wheel look good on there
Cool, thanks

Yep it all takes time!
I think your very talented .I wish you would make a tutorial video .I don't have the knowledge to do something like that .i would like to learn .
Maybe one day! Sadly, no matter how well the tutorial video is the people always want more and more information.
So do you sell any of your conversions, if so at what price?
So awesome.

I want to do one on a printed scale chassis, and get the axles and drive shafts etc.
How did you wire Linear actuator? My actuator only has 2 a (neg-and pos+) and on my receiver it has 3 prongs (sig,pos,neg) thank you for your time
You need an ESC to power the 2 wire style. I used Actuonix brand 3 wire style.
@@dennybobsrcconstructionagc2796 COOL! thank you 🤟🤜 Is there one you'd recommend it's a 12v actuator. No more bothering 😂🤣
@@saulgonzalez8117 just gotta get an ESC that will go back and forth and handle at least a 3S Lipo. Get one that has no brake if possible.
Cool
amazing
Awesome
Nice work brother, do you sell this truck?
Thank you and I am not for hire to build. After using the truck for 2 years I did end up selling it and it got a new home.
Can i build one like that one using tamiya's 1/16 ford aeromax rc chassis? I have also those same rc4wd diesel steel wheels on the chassis already!
Anything is possible.

the front axle is mounted upside down and has the wrong geometry
Works just fine the way it is, but thanks for telling me something I already know. It's not upside down, it's mounted backwards. 😉

The paint looks great.howed you get it to stick. What paint did you use.
Krylon Fusion all in one Paint and Primer. Lightly sand everything first.
What specific motors are you using I can’t find that width of motor on Amazon eBay etc

How did connect the wheels to the motors

Shared a link to what I used, but they are out. That should give you an idea.

@@seandean922 read the description below the video. The rpm is listed there. 😉
Excellent job my friend !!, I'm preparing a Scania Bruder with RC and lights. One question; how did you remove the wheels from the axles ?. Thanks !!
I just cut the axle in 2. I use a 1/4" nut, a vise and a blue wonder bar to take the axle out of the stock wheels. Otherwise it is super tough to take off the wheels.
How much did it cost for parts minus the truck

How can I get one from you already converted?
Sorry, not for hire.
What would it cost me to build the same truck, if I supplied the esc, rx/tx, and battery pack, for you to build me one?
Allen I sure wished I had that kind of time to do that, but to be honest I have a dozen or more projects that I need to get finished. With my own projects, projects I already have promised, my full time job and family I just don't have the time right now.

good rc
nice buld my dude
Do you build to sell how can i buy one from you?
Sorry, but no I do not. I probably should though. LOL Already work 50 hours a week and not looking for a second job. 🙃
Can i buy it ? Lol that truck looks clean 👌👌
Sorry, not for sale. ;-)
You can teach and build at the same time brother
Looks awesome...what did you use for drive motors.
A list of parts and specs is in the video description.
are you using 370 engines?

at 100rpm do you think it will be slow?
@@bonomi2023 yes. Plenty of speed and power with the 170.
Which White Colour brand did you use on the MACK ?
It is in the video description, Krylon All-In-One Gloss White.
