Bruder CAT telehandler RC conversion pt1: teaser
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2019
- Video showing newly completed prototype RC conversion to the Bruder 02141 Teleloader. The biggest challenge was to achieve 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering as well as squeeze all of the parts and electronics into a very limited space whilst keeping the cab area free for the driver and maintaining the original look of the model from the outside.
As a rough guide, the total cost of the conversion including the original toy & accessories, the RC, battery & all the components that I had to buy was around £170. Build time maybe 15 - 20 hours.

Printing instructions: all but the ram cylinder can be printed together - using ‘support everywhere’. The cylinder must not have any supports in the print file. I just used a ‘brim’ & 100% infill. I printed one set in PLA+ and the other in PETG. The cost for me to provide a full set of PETG 3D parts would be £40 GBP (plus tracked world-wide postage) - please email me on RCmodders@icloud.com if you would like me to do this for you.
Here is a list of many the tools/parts that I used for the conversion I have included affiliate links - as this may be a way to help me fund future builds on the channel:

RC used (I used Turnigy i6s from Hobbyking, I believe that the Flysky i6s is basically the same product but with later firmware) Amazon links: US: amzn.to/2PFI0KN UK link: amzn.to/2J6T4PO

3D printer used for the prototype: MP Delta US Link: UK link: amzn.to/2TdcdWo
PLA+ 3D filament used in the prototype: UK link: amzn.to/2DUdB71
Printer used for the build (for Aaron at RC Sparks) : Prusa I3 Mk3: shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printe...
PETG used in the build : (most similar) US Link: amzn.to/2PIRkxj
UK link: amzn.to/2Y4EzAr
This is the soldering station I used: US link: amzn.to/2GQrAeu
UK link: amzn.to/2VAr6mj
Small 20A ESC’s (2 needed - one for driving along, the other to power the telescopic arm): US link: amzn.to/2DIisaZ
UK link: amzn.to/2IUH9Fu
100 rpm 6v N20 drive motors (4 needed) : (similar) US link: amzn.to/2Lfo7vu
UK link (avoid cheap ones): amzn.to/2ZQGYAk
200 rpm 6v N20 telescopic cylinder motor (similar) US link: amzn.to/2V9aEKq
(similar) UK link: amzn.to/2ZP86zv
Z-bender pliers that I always use for connecting rods : ebay.to/2SCPCh6
These would also be fine: US link: amzn.to/2ZPEO3R
UK link: amzn.to/2JhtGHp
Mini servos (2 needed - 1 for steering, 1 for bucket): hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbyking...
20kg servo to lift telescopic arm (whatever you do, make sure servo does not bind at either end of travel as it will fry the ESC) : US link: amzn.to/2DES01V
UK link: amzn.to/2Ja15DA Ebay link: ebay.to/2GUdKu9
LiFe battery used (any 2s lipo less than or equal to 55x17x30mm should be OK, limit travel on throttle and ram motor esc on TX if using 7.2v instead of the 6.6v LiFe) : bit.ly/2VwZWcf (from Component Shop in the UK - good capacity & fits well). UK amazon link: amzn.to/2VMoHFj
Lead screw rod (make sure not to but hardened rods as you won’t be able to drill them): ebay.to/2GWjGTq
Servo extension lead (for bucket servo) - I just used the ones that come RC lighting sets. If using a normal extension lead, around 300mm / 12 inches would be fine.
I used a few bolts from this set: US link: amzn.to/2GYcPrn
UK link: amzn.to/2VJ4aRC Plus various longer sizes including a couple of countersunk bolts as detailed in the videos.
Very thin (approx. 1mm outer diameter) silicon wire to run from motors to ESC’s from Component Shop in the UK (they are always really helpful &b knowledgeable) : www.componentshop.co.uk/

Just awesome! Love it, and certainly want to get started!!
Nice job and looking forward to seeing the future builds. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
You are welcome! Many thanks! 🙂👍
Good to see a video from you again sir... Enjoyed watching you load the chips with this unit..
Many thanks Jeff. Much appreciated! 🙂👍
Awesome conversion!👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Heeey... 😀
The returen of the king👍
We have really missed you buddy, i can see now what you've been up to.
Looking awesome this, and I cant wait to see the build video. It is coming right?
Awesome job anyhow, and great to see another video from you.👍👍👍
😂 thank you. The build video will be coming when I get time to do it - as will all the others that I must get rounto making. This build was only really possible & easily repeatable because of the cheap 3D printer that I used to make a few of the parts. 🙂👍
@@RCModders
Oh yes, I can see the little marvel in the background standing on the piano.
Well when you get around to it. I can't really demand anything right😜. I'm just glad to see that you not throwed everything in the trashcan..Haha.
It looks really great what you've done.
I went by you tinkercad and took a peek. Guess I'll have to try that one out to..
Kind of impressed of your designs. Would it be possible for you to post your stl files?
Anyway, keep up your great work👍👍
Yep I put them here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3468122 to, with a breakdown of the parts for smaller printers like the mini delta. 🙂👍
@@RCModders
Fantastic mr Conversion GURU..👍😉
Ain't this the most awesome RC modding channel ?
😂thank you! 🙂👍
You´re right - it´s unique! Take this teaser as an example - I was completely gripped from beginning to end.
Thank you Del. & great to hear from you again! 🙂👍
@@RCModders I might not comment but bI do watch all your work - and a "thumbs up" is standard practice : )
This is the reason why i subed this channel, GREAT JOB!
Glad you liked it! much appreciated! 🙂👍
I would love to have this thing. I used to drive one back in the day.
Thank you! 😀👍
Very nice vídeo
Thank you! 🙂👍
nice to see you back! looks great!
Many thanks. Glad you like it! 🙂👍
very nice ~~~!!👍👍👍
Really great work
Many thanks! 🙂👍
wow your channel is awesome!!!!
love your conversions they are done neatly and looks easy and actually practical.
which is harder to do than some may think!!!!
I am curious considering i'm working on my own projects like this!!!
how do you find the 1kg servos to hold up, i thought they wouldn't be to strong for this.
your description is also very awesome!!!!!
thanks
Thank you! Surprisingly the little digital servos are working really well in all the models. They do sometimes buz a little (but thats because they are digital). The models are so light and if you get the mechanics/throws/mechanical advantage right (no binding) they seem to be fine for all the steering / buckets. I have specifically geared all my conversions to working with the hardwood chippings (from the pet store). When I need a bit of power, then a cheap 20kg servo goes in (eg jib lifting) or a lead screw rod on the end of a 100rpm N20 motor gearbox. This all keeps the cost and complexity / build time of the conversions down. I also don't have to worry about the strength of the original Bruder toys. Obviously stronger versions of my conversions could easily be made.
Glad you like the description, I've decided to focus effort on making sure that people can see what products I used - experimenting with different motors etc has been a time-consuming and slightly costly thing and I can't see any point in others having to go through this aspect. I'm hoping that my 3D printing approach will make these conversions even more accessible to people with less experience or without a full work shop (lathe / pillar drill etc). 🙂👍
Great job got sub
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
The Lead screw rod, can you share more details about it? The link provided doesn't bring up anything for me on Ebay. I found other options, but am not sure if the pitch & diameter are the same as you used.
These are t8 lead screws for 3D printer axis drives. They are 8mm diameter. Look for cheap ones - as they tend to be softer, which is better for drilling and sawing. 😀👍
@@RCModders Thanks for the info. I'm ordering one now!
Have u ever converted a bruder d11 bulldozer I would be interested in one
Not yet - but I have one waiting to be done. I'll get round to it at some point I expect. 😀👍
Hi I'm a big fan!! R u selling modded Bruder RC' such as the CAT telehandler? I'm interested in purchasing the modded vehicle only without a receiver, battery & transmitter. If so how much including shipping & tax to San Francisco California USA 🇺🇸
Hey. Thanks for the comment. I don't usually build models for sale (I made 2 of these for Aaron (RC Sparks) - which took several weeks), as I really don't have the time to do them. If you build it yourself, it is very inexpensive; to get me to build one would be prohibitively expensive and very poor value for money for you I would think. I am planning to make some improvements to the design soon as well. 😀👍
