The transkit for repowering and super-detailing the MD2 O&K from Mark Hesketh Models is complete and available!
All that remains is to finalise the assembly instructions. It will be available in French and English.
This transkit includes the following super details and modifications:
- A Faulhaber 1512 motor gearhead, with 112:1 reduction, for speed to scale
- An orthogonal 1:1 ratio transmission by helical gears
- A thinner round belt (1mm dia) for more flexibility (3-point suspension)
- New thinner pulleys
- 3-point suspension
- New photoetched electrical pick-ups made of cupro-beryllium (an excellent electrically conductive and highly wear-resistant material) fixed by insulating screws (fiberglass-reinforced polyamide), to improve the flexibility of the electrical pick-ups
- A stand for the installation of a wired DCC sound decoder
- A loudspeaker holder that fits behind the grille inside the hood
- The addition of fixings for the engine hood and cab backrest to make them removable by screwing, thus facilitating painting and access to the decoder, loudspeaker and maintenance.
- A new deck to receive the new mechanism and make the hood and cab backrest removable
- Dummy bolts on the deck, hood, and angle
- A new tractor seat in nickel silver lost wax casting
Please note that this transkit is only suitable for models that are still in kit form and unassembled, as it includes a new deck that accommodates the new mechanism and replaces the original one.
It can be purchased without the Faulhaber motor gearhead, which can be purchased directly by the modeller. It will be available soon according to demand.
