ok i did it!

[cosworth34677]

i orderd a bruder excavator the other day and the hrc hydraulic kit for it. i got a few questions. mostly because this is my first hydraulic build. i wanted to start with something kind of cheap that why i bought this set up.

1. the pump will push 10 bar. what dose that mean in the real world? i was told that was more like sand box power. but i live in florida and everthing is sand! very few really hard spots in the ground or rocky stuff. so if i take it to the local park volley ball court and red clay pile in the back will this be ok?

2. i know this pump dosen't have a p.r.v so is this something i should look into adding? and is it hard to add if i do?

3. should i redo the boom stick and frame ? or will the plastic stock up be ok?
i can cut ne parts at work if so.

4. they say to use antifreeze in the system but is there something better?


again this will be my first hydraulic build so i didn't want a full out wedico of rc4wd or whatever (like i could afford them anyway) . i been looking at vids online at the hrc stuff seems to be ok and i've asked a few guys on this site and scale 4x4 abou the stuff and they for the most part say there ok. you got to understand im comeing from firgelli actuators to these the at i hopeing for the same amount of power , the firgelli's ar great . i tend to wear them out. and i want to be a little more hard on my stuff .

so any more input i would love advice and suggestions are great
