Hydraulic Q's

[Lil Giants]

Your pressure relief valve is that black cylindrical hunk of metal that's sitting atop your servos. The end of it facing the rear of the model, there's an allen screw, turn it inward increases your pressure.

The best place to mount your guage is the black line from your pump to your valve, you'll get your most accurate reading there.

Can you shoot some video & put it on youtube? It'd be great to hear & see how this new version works.

Hey, thanks for the great input

lol, i feel like i'm going in a bit of a circle but if that is the pressure relief valve then where is the filter? and if there isn't one wheres the best place to get one?and where would be the best place to put it in this system?

also im cuious about the oil cooler that was mentioned earlier, is there any links or anything regarding it i cant really picture what it would look like for an application this small

i will try and work on a video, but i've never posted anything on youtube yet and dont have much to record, i'm in canada and it's frozen solid outside so thats a no go, and i haven't picked up any dirt to play with in the garage yet

i can tell you that it will effortlessly lift a tamiya txt-1 monster truck fully loaded (about 12lbs) with the boom at full extension and the bucket flipped to hold the "S" hook with no help or added weight, it could defenitly lift at least double that at full extension but i would have to hold it down, it really surprised me, all at stock pressure/power/control settings

kinda live and learn but i thought this was pretty funny

my friend was sitting with me and he also wanted to see / feel how strong it was so i dropped the bucket down on his knee, he had his hand there cause he was skeptical, i pushed a little he said go more, so i went a little more but at the same time i acidentally made the bucket retract... and it ripped his fingernail off, the teeth are surprisingly sharp, i would not consider this a toy in anyway but a man's toy

anyways as always thanks for all your help / input i really appreciate it

Thanks
Trevor
