Default Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.

One thing I did with mine was protect the clear line from the tank. As it enters the body section it was rubbing on somewhat of a rough edge. A little file work and a rubber slip over boot, all good. Next will be bushings for the tilt pins.

Nice catch, mine's rubbing on the one side as well. Will get a file in there and give it some room.

Just arrived this afternoon. Only had it on the bench to change out battery connector, change some channels on the RX to my liking and start the one over on screws, fittings, and such. Drove it for functions test after changing channels and first impressions are great. 2nd gear is wicked fast, probably spend most time in 1st and locked diff 1st gears. She's a heavy girl, more than the 4200 by a bit, more in the lines of the Eagle dozer. Pump motor is noticeably louder than the dozer or 4200 even at 8% endpoint. So far I'm happy! Nice detailing and arrived without a scratch. May get in the dirt this weekend or next at the latest. Still frozen here though. Have the light kit to install at some point.

Congrats! Gotta make some videos. What hydraulic fluid are you using? If I recall I have 5% or 6% endpoint on the pump. What was it set by default?
