Thanks Neil.

I am still getting ideas on the new boom. If I made it out of brass the extra weight would help it dig even better. I met a guy at the show that has a full scale Unit Hoe and he ran mine for about 20 minutes and commented that the stick is too long so, I'll have to go back over the numbers and see where I need to shorten it.

I can give you some measurements of a real machine, probably close to your's (see this thread)...this could help to calculate right proportions

Have you ever seen this machine Scott? It was at the 2008 Brownsville show with the HCEA convention.

No Steve I haven't. Good picture of a nice machine. Thanks.

Reminds me that I need to shorten the stick on mine so that it looks better.

Scott,

Where are you finding your donor units? I've been telling myself I need to get to some yard sales this spring to see if I can find anything to convert.

Looked at the local antique stores but didn't really see anything.

Also, do you have any pictures of the electrical connections for the hoe pivot? Did you use an audio jack?

Thanks

Jim

Jim,

i bought both of my Units off ebay years ago. Now they ask crazy prices for them.

i run a JR 9503 in the cable Hoe and with JR & Spektrum you can bind multiple rx's to one radio at the same time. So, i have a separate battery, rx and power switch in the undercarriage.

i use these $6 rx's from hobby king:

Scott,

I sort of thought, "that would be cool if you could do the two RX thing!" I wonder if you can do that with the DX6i?


I guess I need to look for some garage sales and see if I get lucky!

Jim

Scott,

Another question. Where are you getting the brass pulleys, like on the stick?

Thanks

Jim

PS I tried binding two RX to my DX6i and that does work.

The pulleys are meccano pulleys and can be found on ebay UK.

The are from vintage mechanical toy sets.

With Spektrum, the rx's won't work simutaneously, a model change in the menu is necessary. Is the JR or Hobby King rx's any different.

Helps to be a Spektrum/JR DSMX receiver and radio to bind multiple receivers to one radio.

It worked for me, I did read that BOTH RX that you use must be the same bit rate. Dsmx or dsm2. They can not be one of each.

I am using a JR9503 (non-X) and two hobby king clone $9 rx's both bound to my JR9503 at the same time and it works fine.
