Bruder Skidsteer 1/16 Conversion

Post by Will01Capri »

Working on getting my Skidsteer conversion kit working nicely.

I have been working on several ways to make this a good conversion. Now with V3 i think i have cracked the chassis setup using a custom 3D printed base plate i designed myself.

I first started with a block of metal & micro geared motors with some holders. But that looked crap and ugly and wasn't very secure.

Next i tried a 3D printed chassis plate, but it just didn't look or feel right. V2 of that has now left me with this. I am very happy with it!

Also made a couple holes for low level front driving lights!

It still requires a bit of filing and sanding of the original Bruder chassis, but thats nothing!

Next job is to print hubs & adaptors for fitting original wheels/tyres, then onto making adaptors for the front shovel.

Mad little thing
