Canadian Guy,

The front axle from a Faller car will surely fit in a hummer. Unfortunately, getting the rest of the stuff in there is very difficult. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it would be a challege.


arch2b,
Aww, shucks

Yes, I have purchased from him before on eBay. In fact that is where my orange unimog came from.

It is a good idea to buy a couple for the reason you mentioned.

One of the things that I did not like about that guy was that one of the trucks I bought from him had peices already glued on the truck, and very poorly too! I just chalked it up as eBay "Buyer Beware" and used it for parts.

If you order something from him, make sure you ask if it is NIB!

-Todd

thanks for the warning, i will be sure to do so.

i can't tell from the pictures, do they come with rubber or plastic wheels? yours appear to be rubber.

also can you give a detailed list of the electronics you used. i need to start hunting and saving!

arch2b,

Most of the modern Roco trucks have rubber tires.. There are different sizes and tread patterns which is why I bought several. I took tires off of one to put on the other etc.

Which model did you order? I can tell you what tires are on it.


I listed a detailed parts list on the orriginal post on this thread. If that is not enough, let me know specifically what you need. Everything I got from the LHS except the gearbox.

-Todd

i will be ordering 2 ROCO MINITANKS GERMANY MAN N4510 4X4 and one ROCO MINITANKS GERMANY MAN N4520 6x6.

i'll go back and read it again, sorry for forgetting it was there. i will be getting under way in early feb. there is only one train/hobby shop nearby and a few rc/hobby shops. last time i was in any of them, i don't remember seeing any of the materials needed. i might have to drive to a couple of shops in springfield about 20-30 min's away. this cann only be done on the weekends as i don't get home from work till about 8pm. not to mention i have to ask the wife to watch the litle monster while i go driving around, i dare not take him into a shop with small, breakable things.

Monster?
This is why they make strollers and duct tape.


The MAN trucks come with what is called a military tread. They come in two sizes; 12mm and 15mm. The MAN trucks have the 15mm tires.

They are rubber, but not really off road treads.


This is a pic of the 12mm military tread tires. The off road tire pic will follow:

arch2b,

Thats not an easy answer. For example: some of the UNIMOGs have them, but most don't.

All I can suggest is that you look at the online catalogs from
http://reynaulds.com/
and
http://www.discounttrainsonline.com/

and look closely at the pictures, now that you know what the different treads look like.

Another example:
This one (see pic) Roco#554 has off road tires. LOOK CAREFULLY

Yes! Now that that Faller Car System can fit in a 1/87 scale Hummer I can get one or another 1/87 scale S.U.V at my local train store and the system and start work!

rubber tyre

Hi,
You searching rubber tyres,...?

Roco offer a "spare parts set" with different rubber tyes and wheels.

Herpa also offer a set with rubber tyres and wheels. This set I am using in my unimog.

Some "onroad" rubber tyres you can get by Faller,Trident ore Brekina.



best regards

Thorsten

The faller system isn't radio controlled, and fitting the rest of the needed RC gear in the tiny hummer might be super tricky, especially for a first timer. I am having a hard time with a truck 2 times the length!

Never mind. Sorry for such a late reply, I went to my local model railroad store to buy a 1/87 scale truck, but ended up getting a 1/87 scale Herpa Audi Cabrio and for the last 40 minutes I was putting in those darn mirrors with a tweaser, I almost lost on of the mirrors at one time but found it. Next time I pass by the store I'll get one of their 1/87 scale trucks, because I found this huge International that would be perfect for the job.

Hi Canadian Bit,
i think everythink is possible yet. OK, you have to create some new eletric circiuts for the reciver and controler for some challenges.
Its all only a question of time and some money.

A friend of mine has build a small german police car. I think it's the half sice of a porsche. And it works without a trailer.
He create a IR-transmitter and reciver, the speedcontroler and the servo is selfmade by using Atmel-microcontroler and very small motors from www.mikroantriebe.de.



Ok this guy is a little bit genius. I am unable to do so.

I only have build a little tractor (you will find a photo in this threat a little above). Here I use a trailer to put the whole electric in. The servo in the trailer is moving by a braid the frontaxle of the tractor. A motor in the trailer powered by a balance shaft the rearaxle of the tractor.

Some photos of my tractor you will find at

best regards
