Odd, didn’t you just receive the loader a couple weeks ago ? Wasn’t working when you got it ? Repairs should still be covered by the warranty.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Just ordered an 870 from Tang, Hope he can send it off before Chinese new years. I've been going over this thread again and appreciate everything posted to look out for and troubleshooting if need be.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Nice move Benny your going to love the 870k. With just over a year of run time on mine that machine still surprises me with how strong she is. Congrats again

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Jack van, did you figure it out with your 870k? Can you describe in more detail the issues and when it started acting up? Supposedly it's checked twice before shipping them off.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Good to hear Lenny. Had a Magom bruder loader and it was just a bit small to go with my other piece's. Loved it and it is a little beast with no problems, just time to go bigger.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

yes i got around dec 20 but was trying to get the custom battery as of last check still out of stock i had ordered 2 battery before machine soon as i order machine 2 days later baterry order canceled now i am doing email tag with rc4wd for 3 days up to 35 email so far with a little progress but not much not to happy you think they would keep 1 battery for every machine at least

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

i am supposed to get an email with a vid to hepl me fix it but so far nothing not holding my breath.I told them i have the box to send the piece of crap back and they give money back but they want me to jump through some hoops alittle longer i think rc4wd keeps this up they might be next to go under with stuff like this happening

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

I requested video of the repairs they said I needed ot make to the 4200. I actually received the part (It came on a SLOW boat) 2 weeks before I got the video in my inbox. I hope that you get your video faster then I did mine.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

i ended up getting tireed of waiting on battery got 4 4 zippy 5800 battery recommend from this site and had the thing run on battery going back and forth but no hydro work so now itis a 4700 canadian static model that pisses me off everytime i look at it

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

hehe i told them all i want to do is take a sledge hammer to it will see but as far as i see i will def think twice before i recomend rc4wd to anyone

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

I understand your frustration, it’s only understandable. Eagle Machinery’s customer service is quite good, I doubt very much they will leave you hanging. How come you said the motor for the wheels isn’t working if the loader goes forward and back ? Have you checked the wires for the pump’s esc ? Maybe there’s a loose wire.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

the hydrolic motor does not work but motor for wheels does.there is no hydralic at all but machine moves forward and backwards but does not turn and bucket does not move.I should in no way have to take machine totaly apart after i pay almost 5000 canadian to get a ready to run machine ?you might think it is a deal but i dont

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

to bad the customer service does not start when they build it hehe rc4wd will see what happens to me so far only they can prove if there worth anything all i can say now is those of you that can get anything good from the are LUCKY and i bet alot of those supposed rtr machines had alot of work done by the customer just so they can use it we should do a poll how many orders of machines from rc4wd work perfect right out of the box with no work

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Any idea what % the pump motor is running at on your TX? Just wondering if somehow it got turned to 0 before shipment? Also for eliminating variables you could plug the pump esc into the channel for fwd/back just to see if the pump comes on when you hit that stick. Yea, very frustrating for sure. I kinda put myself in a mind set to begin with that these are entry level machines assembled and tested by 12yr olds.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

I doubt many. Sorry to hear you've had such a time with it. Eagle stuff is entry level and do take a bit to iron out but nothing like the experience your having. Hoping we can still help you figure out something and get you moving material.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

can not blame a chilld it is the teachers fault lol

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

BIG note on the testing on the fwd/rev channel, Just do a quick check. The motor may spin a way to suck fluid into your tank and not the block so be johnny on the spot about unplugging it from the RX. This is just a test to see if the pump motor physically works.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Teacher? You mean the dude telling him this is what he does to get his portion of food for the day?

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Not quite sure what you were expecting when you bought the loader. Construction models are for experienced users only, it even says it in the description. You were going have to take your model apart and work on it sooner or later, it’s the nature of this hobby. Components won’t last forever. Members are trying to help you out here, threatening the manufacturer your going to smash your model because it’s not working won’t solve a thing.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

hmmm a model that works for one would have been nice and you have to start somewhere and well i can fix most things that i break lol and even build stuff haha just dont like paying for crap that bothers the s**t out of me should have just order it in kit form for alot less ?

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

You actually cannot get it in any form other than RTR, I have tried with Tang and no luck. Also you could have bought a Lesu loader which is the same price if not more by the time your done, in kit form, not even painted or anything. but hey if anyone wants to unload their junk loader let me know! I wouldnt mind picking one up

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Mine worked right out of the box and I got mine same time as you did. I made some slight changes to my radio to fit my preferences and made a video on YouTube on it. Other than the loose muffler tip, I would say it was near perfect out of box for me.
My only "fix" was lowering the pump speed and unscrewing the pressure relief valve to make the hydros smoother running.
Also minimize using the diff lock as it puts a lot of stress on the gears. Frank mentioned that to me as a tip and just passing that along now.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

well so far as i can figure it there are 4 switches and none are working includeing the switch for pump hehe funny thing they sent me 2 videos on the radio set up haha there idea of help was he pressed every button as many times as possible with blury screen and did not say a word about what he was doing lol :mad:

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Ok it's time for you to make a video and post on YouTube for us to see what is going on. Show in the video step by step what you are doing. Video all the wires and how it's all connected.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Agreed on the video, remember shipping can be a rough ride. Hate to see the sledge come out. But I've been there before.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

so i am happy to announce that i got the machine to runlol just long enough to blow a hydro line i believe it is on left side lol this machine is amazeing and not in good way

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Super bowl morning digging with sound.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

New video is sweet Shawn :cool:

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

What engine sound is that

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Man, so what did you have to do to get pump motor rolling? Has the hydro line that is leaking completely off? May just need to tighten it down or take it off and check washer. Gotta make sure all the fittings are snugged down and have a washer.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Yea, sound on that is awesome Shawn. Have you had to adjust the diff lock cable at all?
According to tracking mine just arrive in Hawaii. Phew...glad it got out before New Years.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

yes the sound is very nice i have ordered the light set up since i have to do a total tear down on my machine to replace hydro line on left steareing hope the cylinder is ok if not they will have to send a new one of those as well

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Thanks!!

Volvo truck. Had to change alot of the parameters on the software.


Thanks!! Congrats! I haven't adjusted. I checked to see if it was working properly and it was so I left it as is.
Glad to hear you got it all sorted out for the most part.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

looked through manual and the forum but couldn't fine the size of the fluid tank on the 870K. How much fluid are people putting in on first arrival?

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

instruction says about half a tank or to bottom of the filler line is where mine is at when not leaking from broken line lol

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Ddidn’t notice a fill line. In the full tube?

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

One can count the tube as the fill line, say the bottom - half way up the tube.
If one need to put the machine on the side, don't forget to temporary seal off the air intake hose next to the filler tube) A suitable self tapping screw will do

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Right on, thought that was the case. Ended up taking around 40Ml to get to the bottom of the fill tube. Thanks.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Check again once you cycle thru each cylinder.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

One thing I did with mine was protect the clear line from the tank. As it enters the body section it was rubbing on somewhat of a rough edge. A little file work and a rubber slip over boot, all good. Next will be bushings for the tilt pins.
