Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
Oh, it doesn't look like it will be that fun, I think you would be better off returning it before it gets dirty. :p
On a serious note, thanks for the nice pictures! Neat to see what to expect out of the box on this sort of thing!;) As I review the photos, I have a question. How do the pins in the tracks go in and out? I can't tell if they are threaded bolts or pins or what? Thanks! Jim |
Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
Thanks for posting these pictures. It is nice to see what the actual kit looks like. Keep us updated!

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
At moment they seem slow at answering emails. I Last emailed them Friday and got a reply Tuesday saying they really busy at the moment and vaguely answered my questions.
My guess is it is a upscaled bruder cat excavator. |

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
Great pictures I've been considering this model or the Eagle machinery 4200xl excavator. The price is good at 2082$ in kit form with electronics.

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
Well rained tonight so no chance of any more painting :TD
But I did make some progress. Put tracks back on the base https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S...2/IMG_2903.JPG Installed a better slip ring https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-U...2/IMG_2907.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-i...2/IMG_2908.JPG And here's the new along side the original slip ring https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V...2/IMG_2909.JPG The excavator base attached to the track body. At this point I decided to add some lock thread to the bolts holding it all together. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C...2/IMG_2910.JPG Reconnected the motors https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F...2/IMG_2911.JPG Quick test of the wiring https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G...2/IMG_2912.JPG And thats all for tonight. |
Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
Good looking machine

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
Hey, thanks for posting!
Magom has really upped their game since about a year ago. I've completely forgotten about them. They have a beefy looking hydraulics kit for the Carson LR634 crawler loader. I've been looking to upgrade the cylinders in my model. That's a nice excavator! Thanks for sharing. |

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
Out of a matter of interest. Did you get all the plastics in the kit too? Windows and interior??
|
Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
No it was just the metal shell. Can buy the interior separately but I didn't see that until after I ordered. Going to have a go at making my own interior.

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
Tonight been doing more painting.
First I wet and dry the bits to remove some of the roughness etc, then assembled the boom and bits https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2...2/IMG_2988.JPG Several more coats of paint https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G...2/IMG_2992.JPG Next. Made a bracket to hold the slip ring in position and help keep pipes and wires out of the slew gears https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e...2/IMG_2990.JPG Added servos to the valve unit https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-h...2/IMG_2989.JPG Pump & valves secured to the base https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-G...2/IMG_2991.JPG Played around with internal setting out https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-r...2/IMG_2993.JPG |
Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
ive got a bit of a problem with mine cause i built it from scratch and i have alot of support brackets going threw the center which took up all of my space. right now i am debating on switching to m5 fittings from m3. my rc4wd valve is all m5 the rest of my stuff is m3.

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
