I want one of these so badly! Looking forward to your build and photos. They seem like more affordable models, and I love that they really come alive with the hydraulics.

Congratulations on the new kit... these are becoming very popular. I saw at least 10 of them at a recent show in germany. As said before, the hydraulic conversion transforms them.

No those are all the extra stuff you have to buy, you only get the kit of the machine in the box and the rest is extra.

Also this little guy is taking up some of my time, got me a quick coupler from Holland, along with some forks and a screen bucket. I am soo glad I got it, it leaves people speechless ( well the machine always does anyways ) but the hand free bucket swap just adds to the Ooooo's and ahhhhhhh's ..Lol

It is very simple to put together, I am Soo amazed and pleased with the precision and quality of the fit and finish of all the parts, it's like building a tamiya model. If Carson decides to get into more serious construction models, they will steal the show from other companies for sure. Now time to take her all apart and get it ready for paint.

That is a great looking machine. The parts and components that make up the kit look like high quality items. Are the smaller, black idler wheels made from plastic? No bearings or bushings in them, so I would guess they have to be some sort of harder plastic. Same as the tracks? Also, hard to tell, but does the larger aluminum idler/tensioner wheel for the tracks have a ball bearing or bushing in it? Just curious about dirt getting into all the workings of the tracks. Haven't heard of any complaints. Seems like a robust machine. You are making me want one more and more!

The idler wheels are hardened steel, the tracks are made out of graphite (Fancy name for hard plastic :) , if you are into RC racing cars you'll know what kind of material, very strong unless you drop the model then you may break one. Apart from the teeth and tracks everything else on the chassis is metal, the larger aluminum wheel has some sort of slick press on bushing with a sleeve that is an exact fit on the pin and it spins very freely. So i don't think dirt will be an issue. Just get one already... :)

Ok , well soo much for that "gonna think about paint color for awhile" ...I am a huge fan of orange, and while I know this company does not have a tracked loader, maybe they will reconsider after they will see mine ;).
Here you have it, Doosan orange, the tracks and undercarriage will be gloss black. But I have to get to bed since the sun is up.

Thanks guys ! The tip to a good paint job is patience , light coats at first , about 3 or so, then heavy coats after that, took about 24hrs after to be safe to the touch. Flow of the can and hand is key. You gotta be smooth with left and right , up and down can movement, spray too much and it runs, too little and it looks warped. I never polish my paint or wet sand it. But who sands a working machine,,,?? Lol

Espeefan
12-14-2012, 08:30 AM
Well your painting technique certainly works! I wouldn't wet sand or polish a model like this either. Sometimes I think a clear gloss coat actually detracts from a paint job, and it covers the details, making them loose their sharp edges, if you know what I mean. In it's own way, the model will get sanded, with use!

A few minutes that I had free for my self I used to do some more minor stuff, got the pump and valve block mounted to the plate, one thing about this new brushless pump is the size, a lot shorter and very nice looking, the oil filter is a bit smaller also which gives you plenty of free room , no oil yet just test fitting the lines and stuff. I also got all the small plastic parts painted, I use a hot glue gun to secure all the bits into a scrap piece of plastic so they're easy to paint, I find it very helpful ( patent pending ) ;)

Boy that hydraulic system is small! At least smaller then I expected it would be. Good news, because space looks pretty tight in this model. You're going to have to let me how you like that HiTec charger. I had been looking at it too, thinking it seems pretty darn nice.

My buddy Eddie has this charger and he LOVES it! He's even got 3cells and some big batteries for his models and he said this is the best charger he's ever had, so I got one ;).

PFB had one these chargers at St Louis last Oct, all four ports used non-stop for 12hrs straight & not one hiccup! We would have been dead in the water in no time without it! What are you using for a power supply?

wow, that is looking great! awesome paint job! This is a leimbach pump right? Is the filter not imbedded? I was told by leimbach that I do not need a separate filter...

MoRockN

Joe, the charger comes with built in power supply, so no need for an external one. The paint scheme is from a Doosan , it's the actual exact color, and I'm making the decals to go with it as well. All the pumps need an oil filter , they don't have a built in one

Stahl & Leimbach are two separate entities, though they did work together for many yrs to produce the 1st construction models for market. Klaus Leimbach has had his son working with him for many yrs, hopefully he is a much more responsible individual than Harald Stahl's son was after his passing, and Leimbach hyds live on after the ol man can't do it anymore. ;)

What radio you using for control?

What pressure have you set it to?

MoRockN
12-27-2012, 09:57 AM
I'm using a Hitec aurora 9, have not messed with pressure yet. I usually keep them exactly where they're set from the factory since I'm not hauling my basement out of my house ;). This one is brushless and I can kinda adjust the pressure by turning the rpm from the radio slider. Here is a link to a short video.

Now, what goes well with a new loader? Here is the answer, a new radio ;). DX10t with expandable receiver to make it 18 channels. I cannot stress how freaking cool this radio is. It's super light , aluminum and stainless steel, extra channels on the gimbals that can also be converted to 3 position switches. Enough said, here it is

Nice radio you got there. Those are pretty bad arse..... Sorry to derail your build thread but I have few question on your old radio, I've been going round and round on picking up a new one and the hitec aurora 9 was in top 3 I was looking at, what were your thoughts on it? I don't have ant construction equipment yet but plan on it some day, my max channel use now is 6-7 so I think I'd be good with it. Did you have any major complaints or issues with it?

Nice looking radio. 'Converting the gimbals to three position switches' - Can you explain that a little more in depth? The center sliders - are those two more proportional channels? Enjoy the new radio. Must of been a heck of a Chritmas present!

MoRockN
01-02-2013, 09:32 PM
I love my aurora, it's a 9 channel, and with software update you can get more channels out of it. Touch screen, 30 model memory and very comfy.The reason I'm switching is I am sponsored by spektrum when I race RC cars, otherwise the Autora is baaad arse also. In fact, I will be posting it for sale very soon. The only think I didn't like was the sticks, the were a little too short for my taste, so i made some longer ones and now i am 100% saticfied. I have three 9 channel receivers, 2 seven and 1 six . It is still like new with plastic on the screen.

Sure is a fine lookin machine. Some of the parts it's obvious that they are metal or plastic, however, some??, can you describe the material used at least for the important parts whether metal or plastic? Thanks, Colin

Everything on the chassis is metal except the tracks and the bucket teeth. The body is hard styrene .

What are the tracks made of?

Great looking build by the way.

MoRockN
01-25-2013, 12:25 PM
The tracks are made out of a Hardened plastic with some mixed fibers in it, if you're into RC cars you'll know it, they call it graphite, super hard and strong. You can buy the metal tracks as an option and also the Metal teeth, 40 euros for the teeth and 395 euros for the tracks. I am not looking to change them to metal until something breaks. It's almost done, just need to hook all the wires and install some lights. I will post a video soon.

That's a great video, and the loader looks really nice. The bucket cycle times look killer! Very responsive hydraulic system. Hmm, maybe I'll have to start saving up for one of these machines too.

This seems a little backwards, I thought i posted these pictures but just now could not figure out where they went, just found them now, it's about the lighting and electronics, had to cut the speaker box to make room for other things. I also got a new trailer to haul this beast ( like I need more projects ) as the Bruder one is a tad flexible for the heft of the machine.
These let's are super bright as you can see in the vid. I used some hot glue to secure them in the buckets so the don't move around.

You bought one of the Goldies while Tamiya had it on sale too, or did you get yours elsewhere?

Will have to compare builds and options as we work on the beasties. Seein' yours open and ready to be assembled is makin me drool, waiting for mine to arrive.

And I agree, the Bruder is a bit below the task for a decent carrier of other R/C equipment. I may turn mine into a cargo carrier or sommat... have to see.

Mo,

Have you considered getting a set of the Goldhofer bed-extenders from EC-M? I'm considering it, but I'm hoping someone has better images of the product...


http://www.ec-m.ch/preisliste.html (http://www.ec-m.ch/files/greiffer_001.jpg)

Some of the model images have other angles, but the only other pic thats halfway decent is on this page down toward the bottom...

http://www.ec-m.ch/modelle.html

Anyone got a set, or able to talk to 'em and ask for better pics of the pieces? I'm sure Mo and others would like better shots, eh?

That's the Nice thing about brushless, I was just working them to show how fast they can be, but I have the valve servos turned way down now for more scale speed. I am getting a brushless pump for my 966 also.

04-01-2013, 01:14 PM
I thinks its because you guys are comparing brushless to the stock can... there are some insane fast brushed motors out there.

and you cannot really use TRUE performance brushless with the model pumps - you will destroy them. 5800kv will burn anything there is in a few minutes.

they just have less resistance/consumption overhead so are more efficient if you get the kv right for the application.

The brushless motors we are talking about here are the Leimback brushless motors, designed to run the pumps. I don't know anyone who would throw such a high KV motor on a pump and expect it to last. Just seems a bit silly to me.

The brushless motors we are talking about here are the Leimback brushless motors, designed to run the pumps. I don't know anyone who would throw such a high KV motor on a pump and expect it to last. Just seems a bit silly to me.

Precisely. Its just that folk are comparing a weak brushless to a terrible silver can (nothing is worse than the johnson silver cans, nothing - high resistance, no torque, mediocre rpm, bushings, cheap brushes, poor winds, no ventilation). I tried to put the whole thing in perspective. That's all. Of course anything else you put in there will be better than the stock brushed :)

SOooo did you get overnight shipping??? is it here yet?:D:D. Congratulations man, I can't wait to see your build. I am going to order the metal tracks now that they have them in stock, I did get the metal bucket teeth also, but will not change anything unless something breaks.

Guys, where is the best place to buy one of these? TTM, Permacon? Somewhere else? I just want the loader kit, with a hydraulic retro-fit, and the track drive. Seems like it's going to run about $3,400, plus shipping, with no radio electronics.

Sorry Man, I somehow did not see this. I ordered mine from der-getreibedoktor.de , he will get the package price for you and send you the info before you pay for it. Just email him and tell him you want the same set up I have. He will give you a good deal if you mention my name.
Good luck!

No overnite shipping. They told me that it would be 6-8 weeks (likely 2.5 months) to get everything. We'll see what happens. I plan to powder coat the metal parts once I make sense of it all. Also, I found that the metal tracks need a little work to move smoothly. I had to drill out each pin hole a bit, and mill the inserts. They worked fine after that , hopefully, they have addressed this. Also, I ordered extra, because they are brittle and tend to break.;)

Can't wait to see Mitch's version with the wide tracks! What color are you going to do Mitch?

Great looking tracked loader! Very nice job on wiring up the lights.

I am surprised at how fast the hydraulics are too. I suspect that it isn't just a better pump motor that makes it move that fast...maybe the internal volume/size/length of the hydraulic cylinders on your tracked loader are smaller than say the cylinders on your Wedico 966 for example and that is why it moves so fast?

Mitch

Not certain on the color just yet. I have to check with the local powder coater.

I would like to see somebody build a root rake for their dozer or track loader, maybe not the most practical on a toy but would be an awesome model.

Ayoub, thanks! I'll give Doc Gear a look. By the way, any chance you could share some photos of the model's internals? How you have your battery, speaker box, ESC, and sound unit crammed in there? It looks like it would be pretty tight. Is there more room then it appears to have? I'm just trying to get an idea of where the components fit. Do you think a standard sub-C 7.2 volt battery pack would fit with everything else you have in there, or is it small LiPo packs only?

I'm sure you haven't really got a chance to work the model, but any idea what sort of run times you have been getting?

I hope somebody adds the ripper to one of these, well, hydraulic ripper anyways. A grapple bucket would be awesome as well.

I will post some pictures when I get home to show you how mine is set up, you can run any type of battery depending on how you place everything. I'm used to RC race cars and truck where we cut all the wires and leave no slack, but in these machines I just don't like to cut any wires just in case I want to move things around, the problem with that is the freaking wires take up a lot of space.

Ripper is on the way ;). Gonna take some time to figure out where to put an extra valve and still have space for all the radio gear.

Ripper, that's great! You might need metal tracks or some extra weight somewhere but still cool.

Ok here you go, now this should give you an idea how I did mine, they tell you to glue the back section to the body but I did not, it's something that I am happy I didn't follow in the manual. It gives me easy access to the on/off switch , battery change and just makes life a lot easier.

Now you can see how everything is laid out, if you wanna use a sub C battery, you would swap your electronics when my battery sits and you can lay your battery when my electronics are right now, so be creative. One thing, nothing should be sticking out above the top black line on the chassis.
You can see my battery right there on the right, the black spektrum thing. Now I have a replacement for it that's $23 from hobby king .

Now the wiring is done by my friend Eddie , he's a freaking wiring genius and did move everything around to make it fit like it is now.
The run time on that battery is around 1:45min. Mild use that is.

Thanks Ayoub. Is that a metal counterweight, in the rear of the machine? Perhaps a guy could use that space for extra electronics, or a larger battery pack? NiMh packs are pretty heavy. How much does that counterweight weigh?

Yes you sure can remove that counter weight, a lot of people do, and you can just use sticky weight on top of whatever battery you end up using. It does however hold the rear bumper/towing hook, just a smaller screw and locking nut will fix it. I'm not really sure how much it weighs though. Way more than 4 NIMH put together , it's so compacted.

are you saying you 1 hour 45 minutes out of the battery?

I'm seriously considering getting one of these, after a lot of saving that is.

would you be able to tell me the bucket reach?

thanks buzzy.

Ayoub,

Awesome build thread and awesome machine, I am going to get started, (as time permits) to build the same machine, I've had it for a while waiting for some attention. I saw your running a M220 and a SMX, are you also using a BMA? And if you don't mind me asking where did you get the operator from? Bruder? Awesome layout as well.

Thanks Man. Sorry I just get side tracked and I don't see people's posts. Yes I have a BMA that I tried for a bit but I removed for now until I figure out where to put it. The Operator is from bruder, I just order them from the actual website under spare parts. They have free shipping.

I have an extra BMA if you need one. I got it for a Project that is not gonna be done for awhile.
