1/16 Bruder Mack Granite Halfpipe RC Conversion

Test # 1 - I tried to make an attempt at a video on how some of the things are done and how they work. The truck is all built on the stock Bruder plastic frame and it is what I call a TRUE Bruder conversion. I misspoke about the center rear axle support is made out of a 2" x 2" flat 6061 aluminum bar stock, not angle iron. The rear axles are made from 6061 aluminum 1.25"OD x 1"ID tube and have 4 - 25mm 170rpm 12V gear motors in them. The motors and receiver are powered by a single 320A fan cooled ESC. Powered by an Ovonic 3S 2200 Lipo battery under the hood. Flysky FS-T6 radio and matching receiver. The front axle in an aluminum aftermarket Tamiya style with my own custom built ocsillating mount. Steering servo is a MG995 and the bed lift is an Actuonix 100mm 150:1 6V RC linear actuator. The front and rear lights are 5mm LED's 2 red and 4 white. The 5 clearence lights are 3mm white LED bulbs. The paint that I used is Krylon All-In-One Gloss White for the cab and Gloss Smoke Gray for the box. The tires are LESU S-1213 rears and S-1216 fronts and are mounted on Xtra Speed Beadlock white wheels. Used brass 4mm shaft coupling adapter to 12mm hex to mount the wheels to the motor shafts.

Nice truck a bit setchy on the suspension. I imagine on uneven road this would have top issues. Maybe more of a droop suspension will work better for your heavy loads. I have a droop suspention on all my awd Macks. So when there is a full load the suspension will rest nicely on chassis which also stablizes the load. When the ground becomes more uneven the droop suspension kicks in to soaks up everything you throw at it. Im not exspecting a reply back because you never do yet I just wanted to help. Maybe I'll just blow the minds of everyone as show my under carriage. There will be some design stealers for sure trying to figure it out then lol..

I wish mine would dump like that! If I put a whole load in the box, I have to help the box for the first inch of raising before it can dump on it's own.

Amazing job! Did you use Tamiya axles on that? Thanks
