Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
The noise sounds like it coming from the motor not the pump. What is confusing to me is you shut it off and start it up and it will run for a while before it starts to squeal again. I guess I will have to pull it apart and run one at a time and see what happens. I will have a video in a few days my Mac man told me I had the wrong cable but he is going to put it on you tube for my nothings spectacular but I was digging were waste management truck turn around to pick up a container and it it packed run a crush and tar so it was hard digging and of course if I had self centering sticks it would have been easier to operate but I tried.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
http://www.youtube.com/user/JammerEd2 Here is a video not very good but you can here the squeal at times and my operating skills aren't very good with out self centering. The ground was hard and packed a container truck pick up there a couple of times a week so the ground is hard it is run a crush and black top but I wanted to see what it would do. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Looking good Ed. Sounds and looks like you are slowly shaking all the little bugs out of this machine. I'm sure it's been frustrating finally getting to this point, bt i'm sure it'll be a digging son of a gun with some more stick time. Keep that dipper at a steeper angle, and you'll have more power and better control. Watch a good operator, and you'll never see the tracks move an inch, unless their tramming.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Looks really good. You need some more time behind the sticks though I can see (and spring centering).
Just my observations from running full size machines (not often but a few times), would think it translates over into scale RC, and your not the only one I've seen run an RC one like that. Watch this vid and notice how most of the digging does not occur at the full reach of the machine, it's hard work way out there. Also notice how most of the digging is carried out by the stick movement not the bucket. The bucket is used to adjust the tooth angle along the path you are pushing the bucket with the stick and boom. When you figure out the sweet spot to run it, it will take alot of the load off the machine and be easier to get full buckets nearly everytime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guM8N...eature=related Nonetheless though, very nice work! Should be a very fun toy.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
PUGS thanks for the video and the info but the maine problem was I had to keep centering the stick but now I have the radio fixed to self center that is going to help immensely. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Looks good Ed but I think you need a bigger sand box

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Joe thanks a lot that was very wet and heavy sand I was digging it does have some power I think it set right now around 20 bars. Steve yes a bigger box would help could not get close to were I wanted to to dig but still dug up some soil that was under the sand. I think I will put some weight in the counter weight. Ed
