Ripper is on the way . Gonna take some time to figure out where to put an extra valve and still have space for all the radio gear.

Ripper, that's great! You might need metal tracks or some extra weight somewhere but still cool.

Was planning on adding more weights anyways but metal tracks are a good idea.

You really did a nice job of building this, very crisp and clean.

Thanks Ayoub. Is that a metal counterweight, in the rear of the machine? Perhaps a guy could use that space for extra electronics, or a larger battery pack? NiMh packs are pretty heavy. How much does that counterweight weigh?

Yes you sure can remove that counter weight, a lot of people do, and you can just use sticky weight on top of whatever battery you end up using. It does however hold the rear bumper/towing hook, just a smaller screw and locking nut will fix it. I'm not really sure how much it weighs though. Way more than 4 NIMH put together , it's so compacted.

Ayoub, did you see the new Hydraulic Ripper Kit by Leimbach?

OMG! I did not see that. I'm gonna have to order it soon... Thank you for the heads up.

[caterpillar]

very nice. will be expensive I guess

[Espeefan]

The ripper kit is only $431 US, according to Liembach's website. That's not to bad, in the grand scheme of things.

Ayoub,

Awesome build thread and awesome machine, I am going to get started, (as time permits) to build the same machine, I've had it for a while waiting for some attention. I saw your running a M220 and a SMX, are you also using a BMA? And if you don't mind me asking where did you get the operator from? Bruder? Awesome layout as well.

Thanks Man. Sorry I just get side tracked and I don't see people's posts. Yes I have a BMA that I tried for a bit but I removed for now until I figure out where to put it. The Operator is from bruder, I just order them from the actual website under spare parts. They have free shipping.

I have an extra BMA if you need one. I got it for a Project that is not gonna be done for awhile.

Great lookin rig man. I want to try to build one but I don't know anything about them.

[jack van]

that was a great build i have 1 question though how many practice runs backing off the trailer before the video lol

Ayoub, Every time I see pics of your LR634, it makes me want to work on mine. Sad part is, it is 1 of the last projects on my list of things to do. While mine will be full electric, yours makes me want to drool at the pics. Now to get some ambition and go work on things
