R2-D2 PARTS
JAGS awesome center foot run show
above. Came with steel
center foot, AL ankle and 4 Ankle Cylinders and Wedges and mounting
hardware!
These are some pictures of the parts
I have either purchased through
the club or
have made myself. Anyone wanting to build an R2 unit would be
well advised to read, read, read and read some more before actually
getting into this hobby! Thanks again to all that have REALLY
helped me out getting these sometimes very hard to get parts.
Some builders take over 3 years to collect these. Again, THANKS
to all that have helped out, without you this would NOT have been
possible. You can make your own parts, but time, materials and
equipment does dictate you route. Do not think you cannot make
your own, a lot of builders have... but sure is nice to get some of the
great parts shown below!
This is where I put pictures of the parts as received and prior to
finish work such as sanding, assembly, etc. Look under the
CONSTRUCTION PAGES for assembly of these parts.
DOME PARTS
LOGIC DISPLAY TEMPLATES (LDT) (PL)
Damian of Las Vegas offered these to the group.
Sure save us fellow builders a lot of time trying
to drill a lot of holes. I got two sets, one generic
and one "ANH Psycho".
LDT "ANH PSYCHO" CLOSEUP
A closeup shot of the
front LDT's. Shows the off center
spacing to try to replicate the actual spacing on the
original movie Episode IV (ANH).
HOLOPROJECTORS (HP) (Resin):
Azman's great resin HP
castings. These are copies
of actual AL versions.
I have an order in
for a set of
AL parts, but after
getting these I wish I never
had to
worry about
AL. Great job Azman!
RADAR EYE (Resin):
This was the next one, the awesome
resin
Radar Eye from Dave Everett.
LOGIC DISPLAY
HOUSINGS (LDH)
(Resin):
A set of Azman's Logic Display
Housings. These
are casted from aluminum
masters.
Great
job again Azman!
LOGIC DISPLAY
HOUSINGS (LDH)
(Aluminum):
Wayne Orr also came up with a aluminum version of the LDH's. Nice. I'm going to use
the resin ones for another droid.
LARGE DATA PORT (LDT) (Aluminum):
Again, I asked if anyone had an LDT
available,
again a fellow R2 Builders Group member
came though and sold me a set
of JAG's AL parts.
These were sold to a fellow local builder.
LARGE DATA PORT (LDP)
(Aluminum):
Now Wayne Orr came up with a one piece verson of the LDP. Great job as usual from Wayne.

A set of aluminum Pocket Vents from Mr. Roboto himself, of of Daniel's parts run.

Got two sets of Wayne Orr's awesome front vent
surrounds. One set went to Keith and Carolyn.
FRONT VENT INTERNALS (AL)
Also got two set's of Dave E's Front Vent Internals. One set went to Keith and Carolyn.
COIN SLOT (AL):
Man, I can't remember, but I posted a
message
about needing one and a
fellow R2 builder
emailed me and I again bought this part though
the R2 Builders Group. This is the older "long"
version.
UTILITY ARMS (AL):
My gosh, Ron Barkley was kind enough
to send
me
these with my R&J Dome, Booster
Covers
and Resin Utility Arm order. Darn, don't get any
better than this... Thanks Ron!
FRAME PARTS
DOME DRIVE (AL):
Guy Averett's awesome dome drive
system, this
was another one of my first
parts. Guy did one
heck of a job one these kits. Can you say
Orange County Choppers wheels?
LEG PARTS

HYDRAULICS AND BUTTONS
(AL):
Ryan Huffman was kind enough to
supply these.
This
was my first R2 parts ever,
thanks...
I love the smell of aluminum in the
evening...
BOOSTER COVERS (Resin):
From Ron Barkley. Now I have extended aluminum
versions made by Daniel. I wanted the Booster Cover
to go through the Ankle Bracelet to give my droid the
ANH look. These were sold to another builder.
HOSESHOE SHIM, HORESHOE AND BOOSTER COVERS (Aluminum):
Some more awesome parts from Mr. Roboto (Daniel). Boy these things are heavy. Sure
hate to have to paint them. You can get these and other parts from:

FOOT/DRIVE PARTS
OUTER FOOT (SHELLS) (Aluminum):
This is one of the feet from Kelly
Krider's
'budget' run.
I still have some work with
this to get the Big Lots
scooter
motors installed, sure will be
great when
it's finished. Have two
of these plus the center
foot shell. Thanks for the
parts Kelly!
These also have been sold to another builder, I ordered
JAG's steel outer feet.
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS PARTS
FRONT LOGIC DISPLAY ELETRONICS KIT
Jason Kotecki, Ben Lewitt & Bruce Maley did a run of Dave E's awesome front Logic Display
Kit. A little solering and they worked fantastic.
RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM (R/C)
Here is a photo of my current
electronic control parts.
It shows Mark Hamesters PCB1
and PCB2 and the
Futaba RC 9 channel Radio system.
The radio is a
75 Mhz ground frequency unit.
R/C RADIO SYSTEM - FUBAB 9 CH
view of the Futaba 9CAP
radio. The system
came with transmitter,
receiver and 2 servos.
System works
great! Already have a "R2" model
programmed into the
transmitter.
I'm knee deep in parts, but that's
all for now... have many more to
post
so stay tuned!
