Re: New member. Building D8
Looking good. Just watch that Cat drawing, they are not totally to scale. I think this is done on purpose. Just a heads up.

Re: New member. Building D8
Here's a mock up of cab. Still not sure if am using electric actuators or hydraulics. How do u hook up two speed controllers to one receiver ?

Re: New member. Building D8
Sabertooth dual motor controller
I vote for hydraulics, much faster, more realistic movements than electric actuators.

Re: New member. Building D8
There's no duty. You'll pay 5% GST & whatever your provincial sales tax is when you receive the parcel.
Payment is usually done with a bank wire, but you could ask if they have paypal or other.

Re: New member. Building D8
I'm curious to know what motors you went with, and controllers? I'm building a d11 and haven't decided what setup to go with. So I'm always trying to figure out what others do.

Re: New member. Building D8
I am using the same motors as rclogger. Watched his videos and they seem to work very well. I am using the sabourtooth 2/25 Controller. I have had it hooked up and seems to work really good. I weighed my d8 with out electics hydraulics and no blade and it was 36lbs. I figure when done be around 50lbs. Hydraulics are ordered hope to see them in a couple weeks. I have most of the building done. Time to tare it apart to get some paint on it.
