Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Stahl & Leimbach are two separate entities, though they did work together for many yrs to produce the 1st construction models for market. Klaus Leimbach has had his son working with him for many yrs, hopefully he is a much more responsible individual than Harald Stahl's son was after his passing, and Leimbach hyds live on after the ol man can't do it anymore. ;)

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Well I have been really busy with work for the holidays but that didn't stop me from doing a little bit more work on the loader.

This picture shows you how far you can pull the hydraulics out to adjust pressure , adjust servos, change oil WITHOUT unplugging a single line!!!!! Horay ! Try that with 966 loader...Not

Now the messy part. The oil filter O-ring was pinched and I didn't see it, let's just say hydraulic oil does not taste as good as I thought :).

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Lookin good! :cool:

What radio you using for control?

What pressure have you set it to?

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

I'm using a Hitec aurora 9, have not messed with pressure yet. I usually keep them exactly where they're set from the factory since I'm not hauling my basement out of my house ;). This one is brushless and I can kinda adjust the pressure by turning the rpm from the radio slider. Here is a link to a short video.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Well I took a little break from the build and now feeling kinda lazy and don't feel like doing any work, except I added a little color to the cab and started on the smal body details.

Now, what goes well with a new loader? Here is the answer, a new radio ;). DX10t with expandable receiver to make it 18 channels. I cannot stress how freaking cool this radio is. It's super light , aluminum and stainless steel, extra channels on the gimbals that can also be converted to 3 position switches. Enough said, here it is

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Nice radio you got there. Those are pretty bad arse..... Sorry to derail your build thread but I have few question on your old radio, I've been going round and round on picking up a new one and the hitec aurora 9 was in top 3 I was looking at, what were your thoughts on it? I don't have ant construction equipment yet but plan on it some day, my max channel use now is 6-7 so I think I'd be good with it. Did you have any major complaints or issues with it?

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Nice looking radio. 'Converting the gimbals to three position switches' - Can you explain that a little more in depth? The center sliders - are those two more proportional channels? Enjoy the new radio. Must of been a heck of a Chritmas present!

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

I love my aurora, it's a 9 channel, and with software update you can get more channels out of it. Touch screen, 30 model memory and very comfy.The reason I'm switching is I am sponsored by spektrum when I race RC cars, otherwise the Autora is baaad arse also. In fact, I will be posting it for sale very soon. The only think I didn't like was the sticks, the were a little too short for my taste, so i made some longer ones and now i am 100% saticfied. I have three 9 channel receivers, 2 seven and 1 six . It is still like new with plastic on the screen.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Aurora is the best radio i've ever touched short of graupner mc series.

But people think im crazy when i say that. Glad you've discoved the power of that awesome TX as well.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Yes it is the best radio I have ever owned, and I've got a lot of radios.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

The new radio is a nice addition to your new machine. Very impressed !

Keep us posted on the build process.

cheers

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

So not a lot of progress for you guys to see, but it has been such a challenge trying to make the doosan logo from scratch, especially since I have no computer skills what so ever, but I nailed it after many tries . Here is the real one

And the ones I made with my vinyl cutter

Why not!!
we even got a little ambitious and made this one off Mack old school mudflap logos
http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/...C5B46A0D89.jpg.
That is it for now.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

MoRockN, I see a nice looking headrack on that truck with the sweet mudflaps. Do you have a build thread on that truck I would like to see more of it. By the way the Doosan paint is very nice!

,Jo

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Thanks Trucker_Jo. No build thread on The mack. It's my buddy Grant's rig, he just gets cracking on a project and before we know it its done and no pictures have been taken. But there is a thread on here where we got the idea from.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Loader is a fantastic build. Love the look with all the decals on there. May I ask what brand of vinyl cutter you have?
Rob

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Thank you Rob. It is a 30" digital cutter. I got it about 3 years ago from uscutter to make wraps for my 1/1 race car. I love the thing man. I think the model is MH600 IIRC.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

MoRockN,

Sure is a fine lookin machine. Some of the parts it's obvious that they are metal or plastic, however, some??, can you describe the material used at least for the important parts whether metal or plastic? Thanks, Colin

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Everything on the chassis is metal except the tracks and the bucket teeth. The body is hard styrene .

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

What are the tracks made of?

Great looking build by the way.
