My Carson 634
Well, I just got my first piece of equipment. I bought the kit on ebay with the Carson ESC, spindle drives and radio. I am not impressed, needless to say I have already ordered the Liembach kit from TTM. Since I am ditching the Carson ESC, do you think a Sabertooth 2x12 will work for the drive motors? I happen to have one setting around. If not, I guess I will order a Servonaut M220......Oh and I stole the paint scheme from the late Mitch, I hope that does not offend anyone. I am not sure if my Deere yellow is right or not, I bought industrial yellow deere branded paint but I feel it may be a bit dark, oh well I'm not going to repaint. Also have some Deere decals on order. I will put up some better photos once I am done.

Nice start.

Re: My Carson 634
The Sabertooth 2x12 will work fine in this model.
Good work on the paint, looks good. |
Re: My Carson 634
Well, It's been a while since I updated this thread so I figured it's about time. I have the loader together and am enjoying it. There have been a few bumps along the way..... I have had to replace the valve block due to bleed off and the pump motor also gave out on me. I think this may be because I started the model without a pressure gauge. I have one now and am running at 12 Bar roughly. I also bought a super sweet dump trailer from a "some Canadian guy" ;)

Re: My Carson 634
How do you take the tracks off of the loader? The only way I know how is to stand the loader on its tail and push down on the tensioner with something that I can put my body weight onto, then I can slip the tracks off. Is there an easier way?

Re: My Carson 634
I don't know of a better way, it's always a pain in the a**. I suppose you could drift out the idler pin to take the tension off the idler as well.

Re: My Carson 634
Replace one of the pins of each track with a bolt long enough to secure a lock nut... that's how I remove my Scale Art tracks.

Re: My Carson 634
That's a great idea! A couple button head screws would be perfect for that.
