Default Re: RC4WD Excavator

I got mine direct from Hong Kong, which is why the $400... and it was $450 for me to western Canada.

I did some tinkering with the hoe yesterday, making minute turns back & forth on the press relief valve. I think I have it set for optimum performance now so it still has good power & speed, but doesn't pull the model around so easily & the pump doesn't make so much noise, drawing high amperage. The ten foot length of 14 guage wire from the car batt remained cool to the touch after 30 min of continuous digging.

I look forward to getting the Spektrum DX10T radio this winter and this hoe will be the 1st model on it. I'm just not having any luck programming mix or expontentially with this chinese radio for smoother, more fluent motion than I'm currently getting from it.

I see on the RC4WD site that they currently have 6 in stock, better get one while they're available.

Steamer, I think I'm going to keep mine for a long while to come.
