Chinese are definitely upping the details of their models. Quality and reliability remain to be seen.

Wow!!! The 946 looks almost identical to premacon' s new 946, especially with that blue grabber. But the seller has 0 feedback. Scary.

There are more and more Chinese suppliers showing up every year, more competition is great, machines getting better and more details. These two machines must be the most detailed from the East so far. Say in 5 years, the chinese will give the Germans serious competition, things are going quick in China, there are more and more Chinese getting in the hobby as the middle class grows fast over there, and they will demand better and better models. Cabs and motor hoods looks great. The rotating grab, amazing in this price class. Don't like the screws showing on the arm and undercarrige, gives a cheap impression. Naturally one can use putty, and repaint, but thats a huge job. Tells us that aluminium plates (?) likly are used, similar solution as on the far less detailed 'KAT' machines that did came to the marked some 3 years ago, which where was kind of not heavy enough.
I'm familar with the Libherr 954, also at aliexpress at less than 2000 usd. Don't have the grab naturally, and less detailed cab, less organized under the hood, more square motor hood than the original. Big advantage with that machine is that it is all steel, not a single screw, all welded (hidden welds). More realistic looking undercarriage. the correct weight to the scale, 18 kg. The chinese are good at fabricating fine parts for these RC models now, but when it comes assembly and finetunig, they are not quite there yet IMO. (much to do with maximaze profit, put it all together quickly, and that job might in many cases not being done by 'enthusiasts', as in Germany) E.g using threaded rods in the main link of boom and dipper, that will quickly eat into the material and give even more play, and so on. This is for the 954, which become a good working machine after putting in a couple of working days of minor modifications and finetuning. About this new 946 and Volvo, I don't know, hydraulics and electronics are the same as several other are using probably, but my guess is that some less or more work and 'finetuning' is needed to get them going well over a period of time. But, hey, that's a part of the hobby, and one get more knowledge about the machines, learning to be your own mechanic;)

Video was removed from YouTube. Sounds fishy.
Also there is a Russian site called GSK earthmovers on facebook that builds RC construction pieces like hydraulic cylinders etc. They are also selling the liebherr 946 and volvo 210.

Hi Simon,

Impressive, but i noticed the bucket was detached by hand.....is it hydraulically detachable by r/c?

Thanks

G, thanks for the video. The controls seems to be a little stiff and jerky, are you finding that you have to do some fine tuning? It also seems that the pump is kinda loud too, is that true.

Seems to dig well, how does the tracks move in the dirt?

Inquiry Minds wanna know...

Thanks

glowa1986

10-01-2017, 01:36 PM

i think the control valve is very good,i had premacon, magom hrc and leimbach so need to practice to dig well. Pump is loud but outside doesn't mind, The tracks drive has a very good and powerfull show in the next movie, everything weighs 23kg.

Guess they are still $3500 at aliexpress. Personally I don't have enough free time to fiddle around with Chineese hydraulics anymore, just swap it asap with german stuff.

Looks good. Maybe a bit more practice for smoother movements. The pump sounds like a gas powered Briggs and Stratton engine. Is the pump similar in shape to rc4wd? Pictures of inside? Thanks for sharing.

I was quoted 3200 for two buckets, and 3500 for large bucket and gripper, so was curious if he got all three for a different price.

Wow guys. Very nice deal for 3300,00. I got one from Premacon about 2 years ago and came with nothing extra, no even extra hydraulic line and it did cost me over 6000,00.
Hope they soon realease a Dozer too. I love the machine of mine but Premacon prices are out of reach lately. Congrats on the machine and keep videos coming Mr. Glowa.

I believe RC4WD is currently offering the best deal for a rc hydraulic dozer at 2700$ US. A great model that leaves room for upgrades.

Valdosetti

11-05-2017, 09:57 AM

That’s what I call good deal. I spoke with Premacon and they quoted me a basic dozer with everything needed but remote, receiver and batteries as kit and the price came back over 12.000,00 euros. Way to expensive for my budget and for a model.
I think that this rc4wd dozer will be a very nice dozer and with a some upgrades it’ll be a monster machine for a decent price.
I love Europian machines, they are amazing good, but the price doesn’t justify. Way, way out of the place it should be.
Hope some day they come to realize they are loosing lot of space because of “ what I think; abusive” price.
I got other Chinese toys and they’re doing great. Really heavy and well built.
Thanks for the link Norther Farmer and I’m sorry guys for putting my point about other company’s on this posts, but I really thing it is time for this company’s to realize that they need to put a reasonable price or they will lose all the market to Chinese. It’ll be very sad.

One thing that helps the Europeans is they can finance there toys through the banks that helps keep the price up also. Ed

I own two Premacon built machines and the way to look at it is , you can buy a Timex or you can buy a Rolex . To be honest though , they are way too nice to get dirty and therefor not a wise choice for this hobby.

so just as im ready to pull the trigger on the eagle 360L this 946 shows up for 400 us dollars more but including the auxiliary hydro ports and the hydro operated clamp. Now I'm back to square one, which excavator to choose... eagle has done right by me in the past and I love my 870k loader so I'm really scratching my head here. Any info to help steer me in the right direction would be very appreciated, pros , cons that sort of thing. Thanks again Lenny

I've ordered 3 off Liebherr 956 from e-model store at alibaba in 2017, on behalf of some customers of mine. Used a Visa card, no problems with payment and shipping, arrived 3 weeks after payment. There is a guy, Paul, good english, no communication problem. When it comes to quality of the products, well, it's like you get what you pay for. The 956 is a more simple model than the 946, which is more detailed and more advanced hydraulics. Possible at same level as RC4wd volvo 360, at least concerning details)
At about 2000 USd incl shipping for the 956 (there is a CAT and Komatsu 270 with same technical spec, hydraulics) I knew that the hydraulics possible would not last for long. I was thinking to scrap the hydraulics at once, but we decided to just leave it and run as long as it would last. Cylinders ok. Pump & valve block is the problem here. One machine lasted about 1 month before breakdown, maybe 5-6-7 hours runtime I guess, another one lasted from April to September, don't know how many hours, maybe like 15-20. 3'rd one I have not gotten any response, possible not used as much as the other ones, but it's just a matter of time I get a call I guess;) All buyers where made aware of that at 2K USD, this was about the cheapest you could get, and one should not have too high hopes. I didn't wanted to replace a pump lasting just 10 hours, with another one lasting 10 hours anyway, even if it was for free. Well, I actually in the start had some hopes for the hydraulics to last a year or 2, but no;) That's the pump/tank unit sold seperately on e-model. Valve block not offered there seperately, but I might find a picture if anyone interested. Well, those 2 machines that broke down now got Premacon hydraulisc, at 1000 USD, so total cost about 3000. Otherwise the structure and rest of the machine was fine, it's the hydraulics that still have a way to go... The 946 seems a better machine than the 956 I have described. but buying a Chineese excavator in the 2-3-4K segment, you probably sooner og later have to test your skills as a mechanic) To think otherwise will be naive. but, they are developing, possible getting better and better.

Agreed. If I was looking for another excavator I would have Oyvind build me a 954 with Premacon hydraulics :cool:

Thanks for the video Glowa, Your excavator seems to dig very well. How do you like the clamp? And would you recommend this excavator? Thanks again, Lenny

You will not buy anything better than this excavator for that money, good value for money.
i had a hydraulic valve and pump with premacon in the previous excavator - no revelation for big money. maybe you want to buy my LB946?
I'm thinking about buying a wheel loader

Not to sure what's going on with aliexpress?? I made an account with them to pay and after uploading all the info it tells me for security it wants additional information. Anyone else having any problems? just not comfortable with giving out personal info. Looks like I'll be ordering directly from Tang at eagle machinery.

Can't remember some special trouble with creating an account, which I did last spring. Maybe more info is need now, I do not know.
What machine are you going for?) Guess the Eagle products are the ones offered by RC4WD. Is it less cost ordering directly from Eagle?

If you plan on buying the 360L I would order it through RC4WD this week during the Black Friday Sale.

Rimrock, I was looking into the 946 with the clamp, which I thought was a very nice add-on plus the auxiliary hydro ports. But this system thru aliexpress just don't sit right with me. MR.Tang is who I place my orders with eagle machinery thru never a problem and quick to respond which is getting more rare in the cyber world of business. I was just quoted 3050.00 usd to my door. The only thing now is finding someone to add the auxiliary valves and plumbing to the 360 if thats even possible. keep you all posted..

To be a registered costumer that means you can log in right? I might have to pick up a dozer.

The 4200XL is 1/12th scale, the 360L is 1/14th scale. Will they BOTH work with our Tamiya toys? Is one a better fit then the other? I know I WILL be snatching up one of them during the sale, but IDK which one......YET. Any recommendations?

lenny

11-22-2017, 08:29 PM

For me, I went with the 360L for the detailed body and the fact that it basically the 2.0 version of the xl as there are some upgraded internal parts to. Not to say the xl is a lesser machine I just feel the 360 more looks the part.

Lenny, Thank-you sir, for the input. I wasn't sure if 12th scale diggers would work with our 14th scale trucks.

lenny

11-23-2017, 11:34 AM

as for scale you can always sticker up the 4200 to be a bigger machine. pc800 comes to mind as we just got one delivered and the thing is a monster.

PC800? That'd be Vario size, which it's not even close to in stature... the China model is more so PC300.

I agree. I have my 1:14 PC700 next to a 4200xl and it dwarfs it. Additional Pics can be seen here: http://www.rctruckandconstruction.com/showthread.php?t=11995&page=3

Is there any further updates on this model? I was going to go the 360L route but this just has a lot more going for it as far as what it comes with.

Pretty sure it’s RAL 1007 (daffodil yellow).

Nice one thanks ... had a chat online with the seller on Aliexpress and he is going to hopefully do a yellow one for me now. Can't fault his comms, so far been very helpful.

They run, but longlivity of parts varies from machine to machine. Just keep in mind that with relative low cost machines, one must be prepared for putting in more hours, and money, in service and parts than with the expencive ones. As they say, 'there is no free lunch' ) Note : Loctite 542 thread seal is always useful to have at hand.

I can't remember, are you the one that takes the frames and adds in the premacon hydralics?

Rimrock

Yeah, that's correct. I've got some experience with the 'Faroe' type excavators, 'RTR' 954 (and similar models Komatsu 270, Cat 336) in 2017, it became clear that they still had some way to go concerning hydraulics and assembly skills. But the frames were ok (with some thigtening up of main joints) and cylinders, possible to ad proper hydraulic pump and valves. Figured out it was better to purchase the machines in kit form, without hydraulics, and assemble everything from the bottom, as I had some tools and experience within the field.
There is the Liebherr 946 that's higher priced and a looks to be a notch better put together, but I've no experience with it.

Colin11123

03-07-2018, 10:20 AM

Should be there by the time I get home next month. From the YouTube vids looks like it could maybe do to have a slightly bigger bore cylinder on the bucket as it seems a bit "snappy" or could dial down the valve a bit but might loose a bit of breakout force... Will post up how it goes but for the money looks like a pretty solid machine.
