Suspended Rear Axle for Mercedes Sprinter by Bruder® (old version)

Product information "Suspended Rear Axle for Mercedes Sprinter by Bruder® (old version)"

Note: This drive system is for the pre‑2021 Bruder Sprinter, which is generally no longer available.

The set includes all components required to equip a Mercedes Sprinter by Bruder® with a rigid rear axle and individual wheel drive. The new powered rigid rear axles from 3D‑Parts for the RAM and the Sprinter allow lateral tilt and independent suspension on both sides. The wheels no longer lean at an angle as with previous models.

Customers who want to use this set as a replacement for an already installed rear axle from 3D‑Parts do not need to make any modifications to the Sprinter. The axles can simply be swapped.

Please refer to the videos below the images of the axle as installation instructions.

The plastic components are sintered from polyamide using rapid prototyping. For installation, several cuts to the vehicle frame of the Bruder Sprinter are necessary. Experience in model building is required for the conversion. With the rims offered here, the distance from outer tire edge to outer tire edge is 134 mm. The width without shaft pins is 112 mm.

The motors with 150 revolutions per minute are designed for operation at 12 volts. A 12 V battery pack can be fitted under the Sprinter’s flatbed with a few cuts.

The motors with 300 revolutions per minute are designed for 7.4‑volt LiPos.

You can use these motors:

  • Motors: 6 V 300 rpm or 12 V 150 rpm

  • Servo

Included are all screws, nuts, axles, optionally 2 motors, and coil springs.

Note: The set does not include tires or rims. No electronics or cables are supplied.
