Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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.

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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 ?

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.

Re: RC4WD
 

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?

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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.

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

So i just got it at 10:15 woot

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

Congrats , now where mine !
lol

Re: RC4WD
 

i thought i saw it in his truck lol

Re: RC4WD
 

Can you post some pictures up? Congrats! Mine is waiting for me at my brothers house in Las Vegas.

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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.

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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:

Re: RC4WD
 

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.

Re: RC4WD
 

True, maybe I should put my purse down. Hahaha

Re: RC4WD
 

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.

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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.

Re: RC4WD
 

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.

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

grats on your dozer i am also waiting for oil and bat still

Re: RC4WD
 

Thanks , where did you order that stuff from , do you have any pics of your new machine ?

Re: RC4WD
 

i have pics on my phone still trying to figure out windows 10 but i do have a question hope i can get help with i have a dx-18 radio and i am woundering if i can bind that with the receiver in the model ?

Re: RC4WD
 

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

Re: RC4WD
 

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:
