RC4WD 360L
 

Just ordered the 360L excavator from RC4WD. I'm very excited about it and was wondering if any one has any experience with them? Also for anyone that has ordered from them before how long did it take you to receive your excavator or other heavy machinery?

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

Only took me a week to get my excavator from them and it was listed as out of stock at the time. Shipped directly from China.

Good to hear. Curious as to what type of connector i need to connect my battery,Will a deans work or will an XT60 be necessary?

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

Eagle's volvo excavator comes with female XT60 connection but if your battery is deans you can just cut and solder new connector either on model or battery. But don't cut both battery leads at same time. They also sell adapter plugs for basically every connection imaginable.

Sounds good guys i appreciate it

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

My excavator was ordered on a Tuesday, it left Hong Kong on Wednesday morning and was in NY ready to be delivered on Thursday! The only reason I got it on Friday was because a snow storm delayed it.

wow that is awesome man. On the rc4wd site it says it has shipped but i haven't received a tracking number yet.

What oil should i run and would i be able to get it around town?

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

Did you have to do bank transfer? I can't find anywhere to purchase those excavators using credit card.

thanks.

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

Oil was delivered along with the machine, separate bottle. Grade 22 or 32 works great.

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

yes bank transfer was required. Did you have to order the separate bottle or it was included with excavator? 22 or 32, does that refer to the weigh of the oil?

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

I just went with the recommended fluid RC4WD recommends/sells. I know it's not the best and is a bit over priced but just didn't want the battle if anything goes wrong that they won't cover it due to not using their recommended fluid. At least for the first few tank fill ups.

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

I received it today and man these things are a beast! It came with oil so that was great. Can someone remind me what the screw cap does on the piece that resembles a filter?( the black stack sticking out of the engine compartment)

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

Adjust the pressure in the system, I think. I got that from the youtube videos.

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

Already busted one of the pads down low in between the pins, Are you able to drive the pins out? Is that the easiest way to change a pad?

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

did it look like shoty machining or casting or were you working it like a rental??

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

I believe i made a mistake on my end but I also believe the tracks could be made of a better material. Got in a proper first run today and man these things are just awesome.

Re: RC4WD 360L
 

Also can anyone explain what the dial on the black filter actually does. Im assuming its for pressure but what does turning it one way do vs turning it to the other way?

According to the video it adjusts the hydraulic pressure.
