Yeah, the electric lift is pretty quick Martin, but will it stand the test/stress of time like my hyds have?
![]() You funny Greg... Making great use of my newly aquired Spektrum radio system, I added a Spektrum rx to my adt & took advantage of the "two mixes" feature of the tx to combine the hydraulic pump with the two hyd valve controls of the steering & dump. Very simple to calibrate, got it on the 1st try without even reading the instruction manual... very unusual for me! ![]() This little trick should increase batt run time maybe as much two fold or more. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbcTL0SM58w

Joe, thank you for the pictures of the crusher that helps understand what's under the "skin"'. Did you make or purchase the crusher rollers? Are they formed in any way, like a full size unit?
Thank you again, Jim |

Once you started using an ESC, you won't go back

I made the rollers. The top crush roller is #60 sprockets (one on each end) with 5/8 rod welded to it, I machined a steel shaft in my lathe to fit the weld-on sprockets & turned the ends down to 3/4 inch to fit the bearings. I also laid down 1 inch long beads of weld on the 5/8 rod, staggered to help grip the "lumps" & pull 'em in.
The bottom roller is 3 inch steel shaft, ends turned down to 3/4 inch to fit the bearings. And again, beads of weld the length of the roller, spaced half inch apart to give the roller some grip. The Spektrum programming is the BOMB Scott, it's so easy that a caveman could figure it out! ![]() I'll do both loaders & dozer in the near future (waiting on some goodies to come from RobotMarketPlace), but not the Stahl excavator as I need max oil flow continually the entire time it's in use. And also, I don't want to give up my F14 tray radio that I use with this excav, I really like how it feels in my hands for thumbs control.... although, Spektrum now has a tray radio, the DX10, that might be perfect for an excav tx. ![]() The 850 needs an esc to power up the brushless pump motor anyway and I have a DX8 radio for this model, so I may experiment with mix on this hoe... but it's likely I'll have the pump run near to it's capacity all the time anyway for more precise movement & control. I've practiced for yrs to always keep the cyls moving so little to no oil flow is deadended thru the relief valve. It's a "why didn't I think of that?!" idea Emil. ![]() ![]() |
