Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.

[liftmys10]

I made 2 videos today. One showing how I setup my radio and the other mimic practicing loading/dumping dirt.
One thing I don't mention in the video is I moved all the fwd/rev and steering on the right stick. The boom and bucket is on the left stick.
The room is small so the pump noise is a lot louder than what it would sound outdoors.

Great job Shawn! Thanks for demo. I’m sure it’s going to help out a lot of owners to see how you tuned your loader

Thanks Mike. It sure wasn't like this with the default settings from factory. I was barely able to control it.
JD customs has built a good machine, but the radio settings and some of the mechanical settings like the pressure relief valve were questionable. Once these were massaged, it was much more predictable and controllable. I prefer having all the drive sticks on the right side (similar to how a plane flys) and the bucket and arm left stick.
I will add to this that the pump motor, speed control and servos work much cooler now. You can touch the pump motor with your finger for as long as you want after running it for half an hour. Now I know why they took the rear fan out. Plus it makes room for the Lipo.
Surprisingly the electronics run very efficient. Only the drive esc and motor will get warm if you use it in 2nd gear which is expected and totally normal.

Thanks Brandon. I'm pretty sure if I kept the default settings, parts would start to fail.
