Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

The Damitz works great, It sat on the shelf for over a year, did nothing to it, put the batts in it and runs like the day I put it away! Favorite unit:D

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

lol, yeah most of the crew found work at other companies, just getting a few of the boys back!

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Havin the crew sit around for year just wont cut it ...At least the dont eat ...Lol
Hey Kev you had a grapple on order for the RH6 from damitz...Did that ever make it to your collection...I had placed and order and he never came though.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Yes I got the grapple, bucket, and cab from him last year. It went through Ric and he sent it to me. That reminds me I have to find it now, lost in the move so far, lol....

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Welcome aboard and a very nice video. Damatz looks real good. Ed :cool:

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Well I installed the Grapple from damitz today. Need a little longer hose for the grapple, but it worked pretty good.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Great video angle. It looks very realistic. Do you have the size of hose you need? Pieco.ca is one "local" source for some hose and pneumatic fittings. If it is 2.5/4mm hose I have plenty if you need a small piece.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Vanisle, thanks for the link and offer, I found my other box of RC stuff and have a long piece I can use.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

That grapple seems to work well, you can really do some yard clean up with that setup..

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Smart Racer, it's not that everyone wants one , IT'S EVERYONE NEEDS 1 :D :D
I would guess to say that I put 100 hours on mine this summer... That is cheap entertainment. I wish my wife and daughters could go out shopping for 100 hours and only run down some batterys....:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Right On
That hoe operator is a good one, he should look for work down South and get a job loading off highway trucks on the Island..hahhaha
Whats the temp outside, it looks cold ? Almost had to chain the truck up to getrgoing..

greg

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Its pretty warm tonight, -5, a nice change from the -30... I tell my crew there is no work down south to keep them working up here, lol. Ya the tractor could use some chains and more weight on the drives.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Looking Good kevin...Great to see the crew out there on such a cold Day ..How are you liking that new grapple ..it looks as though it is working well...
That pete looks as though it could use a set of chains too ...Great vid kevin ...One of my favorite channels ...cheers lou

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

looking good the truck looks like it get good traction in the snow...

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

It's nice seeing the operation continue on through the snow.....I was hoping I'd see your skidder in some snow action too.....nice.

Ben

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

I like the grapple and seems to be working good so far. Definitely need a set of jewelery for the Pete. Thanks.

Snochaser, my skidder is out getting a overhaul by RCLogger. As soon as I get it back it will be working hard.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Great snow videos! The lights are a really nice touch.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Kevin, great videos. After all this time I had no idea the videos I watched in the past, on youtube, were your's. I would just come across them during random searches, or through links from other people's videos. It's nice to know. I see you are running the off road tires on your Wedico. Are those Wedico sized, or Tamiya sized on some of Ric's rims? I know they offer these tires in in both sizes.

That Damtiz excavtor seems to have no lack of power, and has some really good cycle times too. Impressive. I've always liked those excavators, but I hear the track motors and boom/dipper/ bucket functions, in combination can slow the model (hyrdo pump) down. Any thoughts on that?

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

The tires on the Pete are Tamiya sized (Ric Rims).
You are correct about the track motors being slow, other than that, it is/has been bullet proof.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

The Lowboy made it from down south with the D8R! Got her unloaded and straight to work.
Quick little video of the D8R, next one will be way better... Greg did an awesome job on this machine!

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

what are you using for the dual esc in the D8R

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

The D8 has a Sabertooth in it, there is a few tricks with them but they generally work well. ;)

A couple pics of some of my crew moving some earth. Been crazy busy so I have been away from the hobby for awhile. Work, new addition to the family and so on. Hope to have a few videos up soon.

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Good to see you in the hobby again Kevin, do you have much time off these days? Or just during break-up?

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Looking good Kevin.
Glad to see the crew is getting back to work, its been to long.... Congrats on the new addition to the family, son or daughter ? Eather way, they will be a good addition to the crew.
I sent some track tensioners to your business address. My cell phone crashed and I lost all contact numbers so if you could pm me it. Thx

Re: Construction Equipment and Videos
 

Hey Joe, hardly any time off this year, been building gear like crazy, trying to find hands and so on. We have been very busy considering how wet it has been. How's the crops doing out your way?

Hey Greg, got your package today, thanks! Had a son so he should be part of the crew soon enough.
