Hello Earl

I just use the Liembach spools and pumps. They seem to be pretty much trouble free when working with 10 bar or so.
You will have to post some photo's of your models. Be great to see them, what scale do you build in ?

Re: RCLogger
 

R C Logger

The Scraper is 1/12 scale the Rear Domp and Shovel are 1/24th. As soon as I learn how to post picture I`ll send some.

Re: RCLogger
 

How is the rebuild of the D8 going Greg ? I discovered i need to now buy a new connection for my battery charger in order to work with the battery pack that i got from Premacon. So until i get that im dead in the water. Im watching your vids and thinking of all the fun im missing. I may be able to get a weekend off of work if you let me know when you might be on this side of the pond. Talk to you later.
Mike.

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger
 

Re: RCLogger
 

Sorry about the mess I made, Thanks Lil Giants for the clean up I'll spend more time on this problem to eliminate the mess I created for R C Logger

Re: RCLogger
 

Neat scraper & haul truck! We're here to help.

Re: RCLogger
 

Nice looking equipment Earl

Thanks for the photo's

Re: RCLogger
 

I have not started the cab rebuild yet, maybe this winter... :rolleyes:

I did start another project on those rainy days though. If all goes well I will have two new models to add to the collection next spring..

Re: RCLogger
 

bit of a late question on this but can you tell me how you attached your axle to the frame here? any pictures would be great.

thanks

Re: RCLogger
 

I just cut 1 cm. 90 degree alunumim angles. 4 of them and riveted them to the body. Then used a hose clamp on each side. Hope you can understand, because after reading what I just wrote I don't even understand Lol. I will take a photo.

Re: RCLogger
 

i think i understand but a picture would be great!

thanks

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg you keep adding to the fleet you will have to move in with Joe to have enough room for all of them and area to operate them. Ed

Re: RCLogger
 

If that happened neither of us would work again, models 24/7...

Re: RCLogger
 

Started on my next project in the model area in the back yard... I built a wall and now its time to start back filling..

Re: RCLogger
 

You need to get Snochasers compactor up there to help with the backfilling. You dont want to have any problems with dirt settling in the future. :D

Is this being built as an area for your models to work, or do you have other plans and using the models to build it is just an added benefit.

Re: RCLogger
 

RCLogger-nice looking work area!!

Re: RCLogger
 

Hi Greg , how was the show ?
Thats my idea of what a sandbox should look like : )

Re: RCLogger

Way back on page 3 or 4 of this thread you mention you get your #35 chain with K1 links of of China. From whom do you buy if from/through? I may have missed it but, I don't see that mentioned anywhere.

Alan

Re: RCLogger
 

Try this link tomorrow, https://worldindustrial.com/offline.html there website is down. Type in 35-K1-2LRB (HM) in the search box, you are looking for every other link on the attachment's. I'm working on a project with #40 k1 chain. PM me with questions. I found some Indian and Chinese sources, but I don't trust the overseas seller's, one of our members got burned by alibaba.
Cheer's, Neil.

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks Neil I'll take a look. I have some contacts in China so I could possibly try that route as well.

Now I know what to search for I found this
http://www.royalsupply.com/store/pc/...m#.UowrzXy9KSM

Seems kinda pricey though

Alan

Re: RCLogger
 

$13.00/ft is the price to beat for#40 k1 chain.
I haven't had a chance to price it at applied industrial technologies yet.
Cheers, Neil.

Re: RCLogger
 

Sorry guys, I didn't catch that you were looking for chain. Here is where I get it, they brought in a bunch...

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks!!! I will check them out.
Cheers, Neil.

Re: RCLogger
 

love your setup.. I like watching your vids on youtube

Re: RCLogger
 

I love this chain Idea and my yarder will need tracks sooner or later :D

Re: RCLogger
 

love your models. I am building dozer my self using a lot of your great ideas. can you explain how you have your wiring system wired up. how do you have the 18 and 12 volt batteries hooked up to receiver with a 6v rx battery. can you have more than one speed control going into the receiver suppling it power?

Re: RCLogger
 

I will try to explain,

Max power to the RX is 6 volts
Sabertooth speed control can take 12 / 18 volts : ( to RX )
Hyd pump 12 volts : ( can be turned on/off with a servo or speed control )

Hope this helps

greg

Re: RCLogger
 

I guess what I was wondering is can you plug two speed controls into one receiver when speed control has a batterie hooked to it. Does it not bring power to the receiver from each speed control? :confused:

Re: RCLogger
 

If you want to hook two speed controllers with separate batteries to one receiver you must take the red wire out of one of the controller's receiver plug. Very carefully remove it by releasing the brass prong out of the plug with a straight pin. I just put shrink tubing over it so it doesn't short out on anything and you're good. If it's a Sabertooth pull the Red wire on both plugs to the receiver. Now if it's one battery feeding both speed controllers, it really doesn't matter as it's the same power source.
Rob

Re: RCLogger
 

That was my concern. So when using a receiver pack. Remove red wire from both speed controllers. Sorry just don't want to burn out my receiver. Whst kind of run time are you getting with your set up? Thanks Patrick.

Re: RCLogger
 

Yes your right. When you use a separate battery pack for the receiver, you pull the Red wire from both speed controllers. You'll have to ask Greg about the run times as he used to run Nicad's but has now switched to Lipo's.
Rob

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks that helps a lot.
