Great work on the dozer and cool vid.

I have been heavily abusing the Hitec 7955tg's and knock on wood, haven't damaged one yet. Lots of power.

I keep looking at those servos. I think they would be perfect for my bucket for sure. They are much stronger and I could buy a servo programmer and do away with the mixing in the TX.

Do you use metal servo horns on them? First I stripped the gears in the servo and now I've stripped the plastic horns. Maybe I souldn't expect it to lift so much...

On the rubber tracked loaders I use the thick plastic arms and on the lift system on my Mack I use the plastic horn as well.

What is really nice about the programmable digital hitech servos is you can set an overload cutoff on them. So, you set the servo to go to half power when it pulls too much current and then as soon as the load is gone it goes right back to full power.

I had the Cat in for some "service" today. The screw drive on the boom used to have interference issues and bind before it lifted high enough(you can see this at the end of my last video) so I took it apart and moved some things around. Now it lifts like the real machine and hits the radiator gaurd on the truck tire just as the boom hits the box. I know this is how the 1:1 stuff is because my Dad bumps the Euc with the 955 once and a while and rattles my brain when I'm waiting for him to load it.HAHA!

I haven't had this one out since last September. When I got home from work today it was nice outside so I thought I would enjoy a little play time!

A quick video from the operators perspective.

I used this old girl yesterday to load gravel into my King Hauler. I haven't run this machine much since I upgraded the voltage(12-16.8) a few months back. I must say that the increased voltage makes it much more fun to operate even though it is still fairly slow. Anyone who has ran a real one of these knows that they aren't super fast anyway so I think the speed is still somewhat realistic.

Thanks for looking.
