Nice to see one of these new machines on the forum. What do you think of the WA500-6? I haven't heard very much about these wheel loaders, nor have we seen any real video footage of them operating. I'm surprised there aren't more builds or threads showing them off!

It'd be great to see some video of it, if you have it? :cool:

Hi,
at the moment I have only one video form the begining.
1. Test

You can see the wheelloader is playing with 3 x 1.5L full water-bottles. No ballast at the back. No problem at all.

I will do some additional video, but the weather was sooo bad.

I will start at the beginning: I ordered the Komatsu Nov. 2012 and four weeks later I received a well packed carton with all the parts in it.

The manual is give in .pdf-form and need to be printed.

The metall parts are made of cold rolled steel.

and at the most parts it is spot-welded.

All weldings are good connected even you can finde holes, which need to be filled later before painting.

Nice piece of equipment looks like it is well made

Impressive lifting capacity! It seems to handle the water bottles, even without the hyrdaulics running at max flow.

Do want!!! This is my next purchase as soon as all the stars align!

To work so easy you need a good hydraulic system.
The hydraulik pump is from Jung-Fluid.
In industry the pump is running with 80 - 100 BAR.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/al...3863626464.jpg

Here in the Komatsu the system is tested up to 30 BAR. I run 18 - 20 BAR.

The hydraulic cylinders come ready mounted.

I forgot to ask. I've not seen a photo of the Fumotec unit next to another model for size reference. I know it's larger than the 966 WDC but still haven't seen a size relevance photo. If you have a Tamiya truck or something common like that, and get a minute to snap a photo, I'd love to see this.

FYI sizes:
WA500
Länge: 705mm
Breite: 230mm
Höhe: 270mm

Wedico 966:
Length: app. (612mm) 24.09", Width: app. (211mm) 8.31", Height: app. (250mm)9.84"

So the WA500 looks about 10% larger than the 966. Not sure how much heavier, but I suspect it is a lot... The 966 is only about 8kg(17lb).

I am sure some one can dig up a picture or two...

Interesting.

Weight : 13 kg

In original:
The WA500-6 is used in small minings.
It's not a machine to use on normal working ground.

Hello,

As wanted I did a snapshot of the wheelloader and a truck.
It´s my 1:12 Faun L908SA 6x6 trialtruck.

So you see the Komatsu is a little bit bigger than a normal wheel loader which can be found at a building yard.

Thanks for the photo. That Trials truck looks like a good time!

Looks like an awesome model, nice build

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
 
thanks, yes the FAUN is a good time.
Yesterday I started to create an area to run my gardentrial-competition on next sunday.
In the past I did this by hand, now I used my Komatsu.
I did some video, looking forward to upload to youtube.

Hello everybody,

until the videos are available on youtube I would like to show you more details from inside the FUMOTEC.

Four brushless outrunners are doing the job of driving.

http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/al...3366333163.jpg

Every motor is controlled by a single robbe roxy. The four controller are connected via double y-cable at one chanel.

Each motor has around 100w power.

They find there place of working in the axles.

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
 
The videos of my yesterday action are online.
They are a little bit long, but I didn´t want to cut, so this is real live without any palliation. (I found a new word in dictionary :) )
