The tracks are made out of a Hardened plastic with some mixed fibers in it, if you're into RC cars you'll know it, they call it graphite, super hard and strong. You can buy the metal tracks as an option and also the Metal teeth, 40 euros for the teeth and 395 euros for the tracks. I am not looking to change them to metal until something breaks. It's almost done, just need to hook all the wires and install some lights. I will post a video soon.

Awesome. Looking forward to the videos! I really like this loader. Best bang for the buck machine out there, I think!

Hi folks,
I too have the LR634 with hydraulics. Here´s a vid of the latest event

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdwgy4Ca1dE

The hydraulics are from www.leimbach-modellbau.de
Maybe the best shop to order is Frank´s www.fechtner-modellbau.de They ship worldwide

bye
Ulrich

Thanks guys. This has been a great machine to build, the parts are made so well and they fit perfect just like Tamiya kits. As it sits with everything and ready to run it set me back $4070, not including the radio.

Nice paiting on your loader as well. This way it´s unique. Over here there are almost two many of the loaders present around.
Altough one little detail is missing. Maybe the enviromental regulations at yours aren´t that tight

MoRockN,

Did you have to wait in line for this machine, if so, did they require a deposit? I like the detail and vid looks great. Good luck with it.

That's a great video, and the loader looks really nice. The bucket cycle times look killer! Very responsive hydraulic system. Hmm, maybe I'll have to start saving up for one of these machines too. They look like they are well worth the money, which is pretty affordable, compared to what some of the other options out there cost. I like it. Thanks for posting.

Thank you guys for the comments, it really is going to be a lot of fun once the snow lifts off a bit for me to have fun with it in its real environment
Catmack, I pay for everything in full before I get it. Once you place your order they gather up all the bits, the waiting is more transit time than anything.
Ulrich, you got me brother . I live in the corn fields so no Emission issues here . Haha, no I was doing a little something with the exhaust pipe and forgot to put it back on.

Default Re: LR634 has arrived!

This seems a little backwards, I thought i posted these pictures but just now could not figure out where they went, just found them now, it's about the lighting and electronics, had to cut the speaker box to make room for other things. I also got a new trailer to haul this beast ( like I need more projects ) as the Bruder one is a tad flexible for the heft of the machine.
These let's are super bright as you can see in the vid. I used some hot glue to secure them in the buckets so the don't move around.








What a mess.... But no worries, it's all tidy in there now.




And here is the new Goldhofer trailer. 13lbs of awesomeness...

.
I will post build pictures in the appropriate section when the time comes.
Thanks for looking!

Looks nice! Hard to tell, but are your lights 3mm LEDs?

Mo!

You bought one of the Goldies while Tamiya had it on sale too, or did you get yours elsewhere?

Will have to compare builds and options as we work on the beasties. Seein' yours open and ready to be assembled is makin me drool, waiting for mine to arrive.

And I agree, the Bruder is a bit below the task for a decent carrier of other R/C equipment. I may turn mine into a cargo carrier or sommat... have to see.

Guys, where is the best place to buy one of these? TTM, Permacon? Somewhere else? I just want the loader kit, with a hydraulic retro-fit, and the track drive. Seems like it's going to run about $3,400, plus shipping, with no radio electronics.
