I want it to move foward/backwards. I want to turn both ways. I want the grapple to close & open & swivel. I want the boom to move up & down. I also want the blade to move up & down. Its a 1/32 john deere skidder. Can someone please tell me what all i need to buy and where to buy ?

Man you chose a small model to start with  It will be very cool if you do get it done. How wide is the model? maybe you'd be able to use something like these 6mm micro gear motors to give you drive. I don't think they'd have much power but they might fit in the tiny model. I haven't used them myself so you'd need to experiment a bit I guess, maybe you'd be able to fit some N20 gear motors in it but I'm not sure. If you blacked out the cab windows so you could hide the electronics in there it might be an easier build. |

That is very small, maybe you'd be able to get one motor driving the front left wheel and one motor driving the rear right wheel to give you your skid steer.
A soldering iron, drill, some files and a multitool with a cutting disk are probably the tools you'll need.
I'm not even sure you'll be able to fit the electronics in, you may have to get a micro rc receiver with built in electronic speed controllers. I have no experience with those so I can't help you with that.
