[Efroeh]

I am also dealing on a loader threw tang for mid to late March I was quoted for a price of with the sound module and paypal fees the total would be 3832.50 American which is about 82 bucks for the paypal fees. I know there's a few people here have bought from him with western union and have no issues.

I just looked threw my email exchange with Tang and he quoted me 3750 with sound and lights included shipped to sask canada threw western union pay. The lights are not installed just the sound kit.

[lenny]

the light kit that is supplied is it complete? meaning work lights, turn signals brake lights. hard to tell by video as im not sure what light kits people are using. I will be sure to send some video once its here. Tang said the kit has dual beacons but no real info on the rest of the light functions. thanks for everyone's input on this.

Look forward to seeing yours in action and opinion of it. This is what he sent me.

That's US$3750 plus US$82.5 Paypal fee,total US$3832.5,loader is installed sound module,but without light system,light system price is: beacon light US$35/ set(two units),

light system US$65/ set(tail&steering light etc),if you pay by Western Union,we could offer a complete light system of wheel loader to you currently.

Here's a video from Eagle demonstrating the light kit upgrade they sell for the loader

I believe if you use Western Union at certain locations you can use your cc to send the money. Would this then be protected by your cc or as soon as WU gets the funds its just in their world? I used WU to pay Tang at my grocery store and had to use a pin debit card. This also meant I could only do payments of 2k or less so it had to be done in 2 payments in 48hrs as my debit card had a 2k a day max. No issues and have my product from Tang, though I was a bit nervous till that big box showed up even with tracking info.

Been my experience that if it's coming from China (eagle/rc4wd) it'll take 3-4 weeks.

[lenny]

looking for some info on the battery people are using. rc4wd states outta stock.. any other drop in batteries out there?

[rc13]

Here is what I copied off of the Website for the 870 battery:
3S 6500mAh 11.1v 20c Lipo battery (Max size: 73mm X 80mm X 132mm)

You could use a battery with a little less mAh. Since you know the dimensions and that it is a 3S, check out this link for a battery:

https://hobbyking.com/en_us/batterie...ll-brands.html

They have tons of batteries with all of the dimensions listed.

thanks for the lead. dhl contacted me to say it should be here Monday, if thats true it was less then a week not counting s/s. I have waited longer for packages from jersey..

[Tungvo]

Hello, i wanted to know if you had to pay import duties on it? And if so how much was it?

[lenny]

For me no import fee here in N.Y just 3850 and 450 of that is shipping, and thats with sound and lights. Hardest choice was the excavator or the loader first. And now the dozer.
.. o-boy .. i see a lot of o.t in my future. plus find time to play with the stuff.

Was just browsing RC4WD site and noticed the 870K looked different and realized Eagle machinery updated the rear panel on the loader

http://store.rc4wd.com/114-Scale-Ear...er_p_3828.html

[Efroeh]

Look like they also removed the fan that the older models have attached to the hood.

[Northern Farmer]

For comparison here's the older back panel

[SteinHDan]

I got that new version and yes, it does not have the fan. Also, I think maybe the battery compartment is a different size now. It seems to allow more standard sized batteries.

I bought this one, and it fits very nicely (143x51x28mm) and is quite cheap:

ZIPPY Flightmax 5800mAh 3S1P 30C




It fits very snugly. I don't think the battery could be any bigger in any dimension. Especially the width. I don't think you could squeeze 29mm in there unless you moved some of the plastic straps.

I replaced the bullet connector with XT60, but you can also buy an adapter with wire or without:
- Adapter with wire
- Adapter without wire



Best regards,
Stein :-)

that would figure, I placed my order mid February so I wonder what style engine cover I'll get. rather the older style to be honest. (newer looks a lil case-ish) Good info on that battery as well.
