Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

you are so close now it must be making you crazy wanting to run this machine eh good job so what is going to be next ? :bounce: :cool:

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I think I have to finish the Volvo A40 next.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Great job, have you gotten your motors wired up yet....if so, did you use the servonaut dual esc?

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Motors are wired together, but not connected to the esc yet.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I got the rest of the hydraulic lines connected to the cylinders :)

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

oh my god that is a lot of hydro hoses gonna love to see it all plumbed and place send lots of pictures huge amount of work good one you are a master have you thought of doing 1/8 scale at all

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

How many meters of hyd hose you up to now!

What size hyd hose?

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I think I'm close to 13 meters.

It's 2x1mm hose, I can't fit any larger size, luckily the cylinders only have 8mm and 10mm bores.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Little side project while waiting some hydraulic connectors to arrive :)

If I decide to start a built thread of this, what is the correct category for it ?
I have no idea on what truck it will be mounted just yet.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

That grader looks amazing! How many channels will it have?

Nice start on the crane arm

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I get terrified when I have to work on the hydraulic hoses for the wheeled loader. The amount of hydraulic hose that you have to run for that grader is mind blowing! Great build, I LOVE it!

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

You can put the crane build here in construction equip forum Ari ;)

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

what battery will you be useing do you have a pic and dimensions thanks

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I have this one: https://www.ths-truckmodelle-shop.de...ml?language=en

There isn't too much space, so I hope everything fits :confused:

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I got 14 channels on my radio, hope it's enough, but I doubt it :mad:

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I'm still waiting to some hydraulic connectors to arrive, so not much progress here.

wow thats small how long run time do you figure

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

[QUOTE=jack van;168458]Yes it's quite small but still 4000 mAh, no idea of the run time :confused:

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Grader stretching :)

If anybody is interested, there's also couple of new videos on YouTube :)

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

That's your motor grader videos I watched today! I'm loving this machine.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Could you add some more videos? I watched each of them many times, i need some more :(

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I'll see what I can do. I'd love to get all the hydraulic functions to work at the same time, but I haven't got the channel extender to work just yet.
If anybody here has any knowledge of the Servonaut HS12 radio with the Zwo4RX9 receiver and the Zwo4R+7 extender I would be happy to hear it.

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

What a mind blowing piece of art. I can't fathom taking on a project like this. Dan

Here you go :)

Everything barely fits:eek:

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

I think I'm at the point of missing my mind. That engine sound,hydraulics, wheel tilt. Everything looks flawless. I've watched it all over again, I can't stop it( I may have watched at least 15 times). Would you keep this one this time and share more videos in the future :D

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

when will you be takeing orders and how much hmm put me in for 1 i hope

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Great job Ari it is really one of a kind with all of the attention to detail and function that yu have added to the model . Ed

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Didn't expect anything less, freakin AWESOME:eek:

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

Is any one else building anything like this to sell?

Re: CAT 14M3 Motor Grader
 

There’s RC Customizer on Facebook that built a 12th scale grader similar to this one, price approx $6k usd, Chinese hyds & electronics.
