The box adjacent to the cab, is that where the master switch is placed?

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Yes Joe, the receiver is also placed in the box.

I had a search online to find out what it should be and this is it.

Wow that's turned out really sweet! nice paint job and decals too, did you print them yourself?

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Thanks Stuart,
The decals were done by a friend of a friend who is a sign writer, very happy with the result.

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Love it. Where does the kit come from or did I miss it somehere and did it come with the lights or was that an add to.

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Well done Paul! :cool:

Now for the trials & videos.

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Hi, The kit comes from Servonaut. (Germany)
The kit comes without the lights, sound, speed controller and radio gear but it is all sold as an option as you see with my model.
Here is the link to the seller.

Since I'm a Komatsu-head, it feels good to see one rolling around. Nice job!

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

WOW!!! that's quite a pile of sand that came out of the bucket... it'd be interesting to know what the volume is (how many liters)?

The hoe operator is in need of some daily practice... you've had that 345 5yrs now? :D

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

I will figure out the capacity very soon.
I have recently pulled the excavator apart for a new pump and most of the wiring came apart at that time.
As you saw it operating, the bucket tipping was back to front. I found also that the tracks were back to front. So I had to change the wiring to the tracks and reverse channel 1. Now its back to how it should be. Hopefully I can drive it better now:D

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Very nice paul, you did a great job on your paint application. How long did you take to build it and was it fairly easy to build?

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Looks great!! And I agree with joe, big pile of spoils!! Will be a nice addition to the equipment fleet!!

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Thankyou, The paint prep took the longest, cab and tip body also leaving the paint long enough not to spoil the finish.
I guess the total time to build would be about a week, I did the build over a longer time due to work and other issues around the house.
Yes the build was easy in comparison to any of the Wedico kits.

Re: Sandmaster GMK 4000 Build
 

Hey Joe, 6Ltrs equals 11kg There was a little more room in the tipper maybe 500 grams or more.
This video I used the bigger bucket and the scales.

Thanks very much for the info. Video's are awesome. Just love the dogs sand box. Love that truck too but I think it might be a little out of my pocket books range right now.
