RC4WD

I guess they sold a lot of machines over the weekend cause only the 979F is left in stock. We should be seeing a lot of new vids soon :D

Same here but for the 870k

[lenny]

Plus one more here, 360L got tracking info last night.. Just like an old school xmas..

[skeeter]

I'm optimistic that tomorrow, I'll receive my tracking number for the 4200 Excavator. I wasn't able to get to the bank prior to this evening to get the wire transfer did. When I did get there to do it, I was told that since it was so late in the day, that the wire WOULDN'T go out until tomorrow morning.

I went the wester union route and took almost 5 days for the funds to clear, yet the money was out if my account in 5 minutes.. Just hope my machine is not on that famous slow boat from China...

I'd be HIGHLY upset, if I bought from an american company, believing that the goods were already stateside, to find out that I'd have to wait fir a SLOW boat to carry it to me from China!

[lenny]

I ordered mine thru tang at eagle so I knew it was coming from the far East.

I'm sure it says on there website somewhere that they ship from multiple warehouses. When I bought my 4200 from them it came over the pond.

[Bo Wallen]

RC4WD Have almost no high dollar item in their California Warehouse. Most smaller parts......I've have done a visite there a while ago and also had a conversation with the owner. That way save a lot of shipping internally. and the customer pay it all from manufacturer to customer in one shot.

RC4WD and Eagle only deal with DHL when it comes to the construction models and ship uniquely by air. You don’t have to worry about it being transported on a boat.

That is GREAT news. I can handle it coming from overseas, so long as it is sent expedited, rather then the cheaper & WAY SLOWER boat method.

That sounds about as terrible as the Credit Card refund from RC4WD. They refunded (Banks were closed, NO WAY possible to do a wire transfer over the holiday weekend) the initial Credit Card payment on 11-27. It STILL HASN'T reached me yet. The estimated date when the funds will return to my account are between 12-2 & 12-9. It ONLY took less then a second for the money to leave my bank account, but takes 1-2 weeks for it to re-appear? Somethings wrong with this! I SHOULD have did Paypal to secure the initial order! At least then I would have had the PP refunded in a timely manner.

[jack van]

did my wire transfer today si am on wait list haha :cool::lol:

[skeeter]

I got my shipping confirmation yesterday, but haven't yet received the tracking number(s)

[liftmys10]

did my wire transfer today si am on wait list haha :cool::lol:

Is that because you sent the wire late or? Did they say you are on a wait list?

[skeeter]

After you folks got the email confirmation that your order was shipped, how long before they sent you tracking information for the order?

[Mikem]

Mine was in the confirmation about a day later for my float supposed to have next Wednesday

[lenny]

Tang from eagle sent my tracking # at the same time. Which was the day my payment cleared on his end. Not counting the days it took to clear, this whole deal should be 5 days of shipping. Fingers crossed my excavator should be here on the 4th of Dec. Keep you guys posted on what's going on..

[skeeter]

I re-checked it. The Shipping Confirmation email I received from RC4WD doesn't have any tracking information in it.

[bigpipespete]

I am still waiting :(
Dec 4th will be 5 business days since I sent the bank wire.

It's at my lhs

[lenny]

All the stars aligned for me today.. left work early got phone call from FedEx saying we got a box here 73 pounds you want to pick it up or chance the truck.. his exact words. Quick u turn back 2 exits to the FedEx mecca. Scary when the guy asked if was a rc excavator because he said all guys were asking, so im thinking x-ray maybe.. Out rolls the box with huge pic on the side. Guess I'm lucky they don't ship lipo. Let screw inspection begin. So my math was right 5 days almost to the hour. Missed it by 4 hours..

[Northern Farmer]

Congrats guys :cool:

[bigford]

I've never heard anybody here or on Facebook say
They never got a Rc4wd product. You guys were worried about nothing...

Worried is an understatement! It's a HUGE worry when a company that you've NEVER previously dealt with WON'T accept credit cards, & insists upon a bank transfer to pay for the item(s)! There's NO guarantee for us going that route. With Paypal, &/or Credit Cards, there is a way for us to get our $$ back, if the goods AREN'T delivered.

[bigpipespete]

Merry Christmas Evan, I'm excited for you. I got confirmation that my payment was received today , now I'm just waiting for my tracking #.

Go buy a china kat from alibaba. They
Take paypal but don't speak English or
Answer emails there's a nervous month

[lenny]

As far as I'm concerned, Tang from eagle is the route I go never waited more than a day for a reply. Shipping is done once payment clears. A+ in my book. Both machines ready to go right out of the box. Swinging sights on the dozer next. Still not 100% on the mining trucks scale.

No thank-you! The timely replies to emails, even outside NORMAL 9-5 business hours made me less stressful while dealing with RC4WD. A couple times at 7PM pacific time, & even a reply on a SUNDAY (That's NOT a business day......MOST places WOULDN'T answer till Monday at the earliest) has made me a lifetime RC4WD customer. Their customer service is superior to most business's that I've ever dealt with! HOPEFULLY next year they do the Black Friday event again, & I can get the dozer AND lowbed trailer to move everything around with!

[jack van]

so i have my tracking number for the loader and i alsohave 2 batteries on the way now i just have to get hydralic oil just need to find some lol :cool:

[Mikem]

Got my trailer . Some day I’ll figure how to post pics here again

[skeeter]

My hoe, the 4200 arrived today! :bounce: The hydraulic oil arrived me earlier in the week.

[lenny]

Congrats to all the new owners of all kinds. Plus buying out complete stock of a company let's them know the hobby is alive and well. In turn more choices and pieces are brought to market. Don't know if I can hold out until another black Friday for the dozer but it worked out Nicely for my 360L..

The sale price was what got me to buy it! I've long been watching & wanting some hydraulic RC equipment, but the prices were a touch too high for my liking. I looked at several other companies/manufacturers & knew that they were truly offering killer deals!

[markturbo]

Thats awesome you guys are getting your equipment, be sure to post some pics.

[stephen]

I am looking into buying a 4200XL but I don't like that its wire transfer only at RC4WD.
Has anyone ever had problems not getting what they pay for?

Read previous posts Stephen, don't think anyone on this Forum has had a problem with RC4WD, maybe some piddly stuff but not major orders.

No sir, not a problem! There customer service is excellent. Mine has an issue with the drive motors. they asked me to take a viseo of the issue as it's happening, & send it to them. They also requested the serial # for my machine be sent to them along with the vid, so they could get replacement parts in the mail to me.

I as well was skeptical of the wire transfer ONLY policy. I'm glad I bought mine during the Black Friday sales event, as I got a killer deal on it.

Got my tracking # today for the 870k from rc4wd. It's coming from Hong Kong.

My experience, & seems to mirror others, is 5 days from the receipt of the tracking number(s), you should have the machine delivered to your door.

Looks like we will get our machines the same day . I got my tracking # for the dozer today too.

Nice! Is yours coming from Hong Kong as well?
Do they supply hydraulic oil or is that separately bought?

[bigpipespete]

Yes mine is coming from Hong Kong and you need to buy the oil and battery separate.

[bigpipespete]

Congratulations on your purchase, your just across the line from us here in the lower mainland so I know what your weather is like this time of year. Do you have somewhere covered you can use that machine or will it be stashed away until spring ?
Mike.

[skeeter]

TYVM

The weather here has been unusually cold, & drier than usual. I don't have an indoor play area. Since the weather has been so dry, I took mine out to play on Sunday. I was really impressed with the digging power. I wasn't too impressed with the drive motors. I've ordered from Soyland Industries the upgrade kit for them. I hope the weather will still be dry when the upgrade kit arrives, & I get the hoe running again. For now, it's in pieces, sitting in the garage on a shelf. If the weather DOESN'T cooperate, then the machine will stay stashed away until spring time.

[liftmys10]

Since our package is coming from Hong Kong, are we as buyers going to be hit up for customs duties and taxes or does rc4wd take the hit?
I guess I should direct this question to previous buyers from rc4wd?

[skeeter]

There are no taxes/import duties......at least for Wa state. IDK about the greedy CA government, they might could slap you for taxes.

[Northern Farmer]

It depends what value they put on the invoice. When I ordered directly from Eagle I noticed they were kind enough to indicate a value of 200$ instead of the full value. DHL charged me 50$ for brokerage and custom fees so I was happy in the end, I honestly was expecting worst.

[bigpipespete]

Sadly that is not the case for me , its been 8 days now and still no word on when they will deliver :(

[jack van]

they said i was getting my 870 yesterday but 1 inch of snow was too much for there driver lol now i hope today is the day

[jack van]

So i just got it at 10:15 woot

[lenny]

they said i was getting my 870 yesterday but 1 inch of snow was too much for there driver lol now i hope today is the day
Look on the bright side 1 inch of snow could of led to a slip and fall with the box in his/hers hands. Plus now there's some snow on the ground to plow. Speaking from experience the 870k plows really well. https://youtu.be/X6yrCHfIqAk

[skeeter]

Congratulations! Hope your new machine brings you hours of enjoyment.

still need battery and fluids but she is so awesome looking:jaw:

That's cruel , anticipation is killing me ! ;)

Hopefully you don't store your equipment in the basement like I do. Carrying it up and down the stairs is taking its toll on my back.

[liftmys10]

How many steps is yours? I live on the second floor, 18 long steps, no elevator. :eek:

[bigpipespete]

The 870 is half the weight of your PC700 so it wont be an issue for you.

[jack van]

i now have the 870 lol moveing it 10 ft on a flat floor is still heavy haha i have an 870 lol:D:cool:

[skeeter]

My back would handle it........the knees would be my problem area. Carrying that much additional weight upstairs would be a struggle. trying to carry that much weight DOWNSTAIRS, I believe that I would almost in a cartoon like manner, roll to the bottom of the stair case, due to a knee giving out.

True, maybe I should put my purse down. Hahaha

[bigpipespete]

My dozer was delivered 30 minutes ago , almost threw my back out picking it up. It makes my Premacon machines at 30 lbs seem light featherweights. I will take photos tomorrow in the light and try to figure out how to post them here.

Awesome! Congrats. Gotta get that to start plowing the snow!

[bigpipespete]

Thanks, I still need to buy a battery and oil and go through the whole thing to make sure all is tight.

[lenny]

Congrats.. looking forward to your pics as I have the dozer in my sights. But your right on about the weight it's shocking at first, but in a good way unless your the lowboy.

Thanks , I want to show the size difference between the dozer and my other machines and my Bruder excavator which at 7 or 8 pounds is now just a joke.

[bigpipespete]

I'm having all sorts of problems downloading photos onto my computer, I will get them up as soon as I can guys.

No. You need a Spektrum receiver, either an AR8000 for 8chs or an AR9020 for 9chs

[jack van]

yeh i figured as much i have the 9020 in both trucks and i think i will change over to 9020 plus xplus for all 18 chanels in the future:bounce::rolleyes:
