Re: D8R +463 in 1/5,6
Dan,
Have you tried just opening the valves up that are there now? You could do some smarts with the servos... Its gotta be easy to run the receiver and servos without the motor?

Re: Robbe Excavator
Apparently the model has parts from a number of suppliers, and I also think those drive motors are from Damitz.
