Re: First build ,cat D11

LOL!
I too need to scrape off the top 6" or so around my "work site" so I don't have to deal with roots. Since I don't have an excavator I need a pretty large area (open pit mine) so that I can...

Re: First build ,cat D11

Well my car, for example, when it's running voltage is around 14.5v. Most Lipo's discharge at around 3.8v-3.5v, that's where the voltage curve flattens out/they remain at the longest. I wouldn't...

Re: First build ,cat D11

I would change it. At least empty the tank, then run/cycle some more and empty again. The first time I ran the hydraulics on my loader for about an hour, not moving just setting speeds and mixes and...

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

The stock kit weld did hold, it bent until that point. It's not hitting anything, just too many snagged roots. The JBweld is more for closing up the gap so that it doesn't snag again as easily. I...

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

Well went to take it for a spin in the dirt and the drive motors would barely turn. Or turned in tiny spurts. Kept pushing and pushing, finally the Sabertooth ESC just got really hot. None of the...

Re: CAT330D-L full hydraulic

WOW! Are you a professional CNC operator? Or just have one for personal projects?
Also who makes those hydraulic fittings?

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

Ran the loader for 2 hours using a 3S 3200Mah Lipo for the pump and a 2S for the servos and drive motors. No hoses blew off or split.

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

Yesterday I got 50 minutes of heavy usage out of a 1350Mah 11.1 3S Lipo running the brushless pump motor! I had a 2S battery hooked up to the drive motors and to a separate BEC. I do have it mixed so...

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

Hooked up two 2S batteries in series today and the hydraulics were much more powerful. Had to adjust the radio settings so I still had fine control and so that the drive motors weren't as touchy.

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

A 12 volt 3 cell battery is definitely needed. I had it hooked up to a 12v source and it was way stronger. The 2 cell is ok, but once it gets below about 8 volts, there is less digging power.

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

went past the 20min limit, just wanted to add this.

I really should of gotten a 3 cell battery, the 2 cell doesn't let the pump motor spin up all the way. At least I think it doesn't

Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

Wanted to add that I bought this stuff in a purple spray bottle called Super Clean to clean up the oil spills. Works well. I've also read that undiluted Simple Green works too.
