track loader
Hi everyone! I'm new to scale construction equipment and was looking to get the Stahl Liebherr LR632 tracked loader and I'm having a hard time finding a place that either sells them in the states or has a web page in English, so if anyone knows a place or even a good alternative please let me know thanks.

Re: track loader
I believe they are no longer available from them (went out of business). You may find one used here. Hope this helps.

Re: track loader
U are having a hard time due to the Stahl one no longer made. I have the carson/tamiya track loader and very comparable to the other track loaders. It's screw drive instead of hydro and will keep up with the hydro models. U have the option to make it hydro for more money. Out the door u looking to spend $3000 for RTR. Detail level is close the scaleart track loader. On a good charged 5000 mah 7.2v pack I can it close to 2hrs. After comparing against the stahl and scaleart track loader i plan to keep mine with screw drive. There is a bruder converted one from spain but from what I have seen it's trouble some.

Re: track loader
I have a Stahl track loader and I have ran it next to rcguyfarms Carson in dirt and rubber. In my opinion the Carson is a really nice machine and it far out performed my Stahl in the dirt and is a little better in the rubber as well. I would not let the plastic tracks on the Carson bother you as they are made well and seam to be very durable. If I were buying one now and knew what I know first hand I would get the Carson all electric version. The Carson is also a bit bigger and better suited to the size of the Tamiya trucks.

Re: track loader
The Body and tracks are plastic on the Carson loader. The rest is metal. Metal tracks are in the works.

since I am also "shopping" for it right now . Its always easier to cut deals if you want to buy more when 1 of anything . You may don't know me , I am German ,( but located here in the US ) , therefore its very easy for me to deal with all these German manufactures . I used to be the Carson dealer for the USA ( years ago ) , but gave that up to Ric , PMD , Gardentrucking . I already spoke with Ric during the Indy show about this track-loader , but he didn't seam to be interested to import this one ( obviously , since he has his other loaders ) . But if I can find a few more guys interested in the Carson track-loader I will talk with Ric again . And if he still doesn't want to get them , I will get them , since I been doing already some shopping and price comparisons .

Re: track loader
TTM out of Germany has the best price I've seen . But If Willy going to do it , then I'd go with him 1st . I'm back and forth on buying 1 as a bare bones kit or building my own from scratch . I'm more then a few months away from even thinking about buying 1 yet got other priorities right now .

Re: track loader
I have a few irons in the fire from where I could get them , I have requested a few quotes from various places in Germany . But lets wait till end of next week , since I just spoke with Ric from gardentrucking / PMD , he is still on the road ,therefore I have to wait till I can get a quote from him too .

with what electronics did yours come ? or did you install your own ones ? since this electronic set from Carson ( compact unit with lights and all ESC's ) just has been released , but I just haven't found enough info's about that one yet , since nobody seams to carry it . I just saw a fairly high price for that unit . something around 400 Euros ? Guess a couple small ESC's for the drive-motors or even a nice Tamiya tank-DMD with some small Thor controllers for the spindle-drives should do the trick here .

Re: track loader
Quick question for you, does the screw drive motors connect to the speed control or do they get connected straight to the receiver like a servo?
