RC Trommel build

This is my Trommel I scratch built for my 120 scale construction site, really pleased with the outcome it grades the sand and stone really well and adds another dimension to my yard layout.

Hi, could you tell me what motor you put on it and the specs...and also what battery did you use? Want to do similar project this weekend 😬😁

Hi Terry it has a 12v 40 rpm gear motor, i run it via a mains transformer the belt is from a local auto spares shop it sits in a groove around the circumference of the tube hope this helps thanks for watching and commenting

[@DMZforeverOG]

Thanks for replying. I've tried alot of different variations this weekend to fit the motor to my trommel to no avail. Do you have any close up pictures or another video of the mechanics of your gear/motor setup, pulleys etc etc. Need inspiration as I feel I've tried everything 😭😭

What sizes of mesh did you put in?

[@116scalercconstructiontruc9]

Hi Reuben, as i recall the three sizes were
Fine 2mm
Medium 6mm
coarse 13mm
all purchased via suppliers on ebay, there are charts online that give the conversion of sizes in mm to gauge size which is often used for wire mesh, hope this helps and thank you for watching
