Liebherr 944B

[Lil Giants]

I use 4s 5000, easy digging is over an hour, hard digging about 40-50 minutes.

The latest models from Fumotec have rubber feet about 8mm tall. If nothing else shorter available, I'm sure you could cut out a square piece of rubber from tractor tire tube, the type that are filled with chloride as they much thicker than a car tire tube. But maybe a car tire tube would be enough.

Maybe it could be worth making these for our Varios Joe?

Less sound less vibrations, sounds good to me!

(sorry for taking up space in your thread)

Nice excavator you got there, too bad on the damage, hope you can work it out.

Rubber fuel line is quick and easy, I used it on my pickup's little air compressor.

Thats exactly what I was thinking of, have ordered some off ebay. Can you run these motors on a 4s ok?

I've put a piece of 3mm rubber under it for now, its a lot better but still get the vibration through the mounting bolts.



After about an hour last night it looked like this:





Then spent this afternoon milling and came up with this (love my old bridgeport):











Even if/when I do get the compo, I'm fed up with Premacon/THS not answering emails so thought I'd give it a go repairing it.

I think once its bolted and glued in place then painted should look ok and will probably be stronger than the original, may even make a complete new boom in the future.

Not sure whether to make some brass bushes for the pivot or just leave the steel pin in the ally with a splodge of grease???

Now where to find Liebherr yellow, or do I go white
