CATERPILLAR 390D LME 1:8
 
Hello together,

I am Andreas from Nuremberg in Germany. I am 39 old. My hobby RC modeling in scale 1:8 I`ll do since 12 years. I have found this forum a few days ago.

I want to show you my two models I have build. The first model was a John Deere 9560R. For that model I build round About six years. It is not finished yet.

Here are two Videos of the John Deere 9560R scale 1:8.

The second model is a CATERPILLAR 390D 1:8. This is my actual Project.
Here some Videos of my CAT:

So enjoy it. Sorry for my english. I hope you can understand me.

On my channel you can find the latest work.

Hi Andreas, impressive! Been reading up on your build on the modell-baustelle forum.

Hope you don't mind I post the link for those interested. Really worth checking out if only just for the pictures.

Hello Andreas and welcome :)

That 390 is massive in 1:8 scale, how much it weights ?
Great work with both of your models.

Subscribed to your channel :)

Hello,

Thanks to all for that good feedback. The weiht is round about 180kg. The handling is not easy. Maybe I can make a actual Video driving up and down my workbench. This is always very exciting for me, because I must be very careful that the cat does not slip to one side. When this will happen I must jump away, I can not prevent it.....:eek:

Thank you for suscriping. Greetings back to Finland

Re: CATERPILLAR 390D LME 1:8
 
180kg :eek: and I cursed my Cat 374's weigh when carrying it around, and that 's just 30kg.

Hello,

Since I am currently still waiting for parts, I let the CAT run again today. This time I filmed the ascent and descent on my workbench for you. This is always a really exciting thing for me. If the excavator starts to slide here, I can only jump to the side ....
But everything went well again this time. I only fear the aluminum ramps will not survive forever. But see for yourself …

Cool, was going to ask you how you get it from your workbench to the indoor construction site!

My Vario is only 44kg & I use the same ramps to load into my GMC quad cab to go to rc meets :D

Re: CATERPILLAR 390D LME 1:8
 
Yes the Ramps are very good. But I think when I use them more often for my CAT they will not survive for ever. . .:)

Hello everybody,

I have created a new video for you about the construction of the Caterpillar 390D. I hope you like it. The nice thing is that you can see for yourself what you've already done and how time has passed ....

Hello everybody,

now it was finally a bit further on the CAT. For one thing, I redesigned the ventilation grilles and started with the cabin. Visually makes a difference if there is a cabin ...

But see for yourself.
