Re: Vario 850d deere excavator rebuild

Looks good... but is there enough room for 4 x 3s batteries... wouldn't it be easier to have the tracks and slew on one battery and the pump on another?

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT

Thanks Guys

I know it doesn't offer any better performance, but I think it makes it look a little better.... and slightly more like the 1:1 version :)

It lives! The oil arrived today, poured it in, cycled the cylinders a few times, watched all the air come out and voila, it steers and the bucket lifts up… what more could you want! Apart from a...

Re: Moxy articulated dump truck

That's similar to me, I'm going to use a 3S lipo with a standard Esc, connected to all 6 drive motors, forgot to add, I only went with standard Esc as I want it to control the lights etc.

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT

thanks for the link Greg, I wasn't sure how strong a servo would be, but with the that gearing setup, i can imagine, very strong!

Bolted all the bits on… I’ll let the pictures do the talking!...

Re: Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT

Hi Greg, it seems to be designed to last forever...its one of the reasons for choosing it over the others available, I don't have your skills, nor able to make my own, so I had to go the kit route...
