DA DA DA I don't know Steve. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

How do you post more than one picture on the sight? Ed

That thing looks really nice. Can't wait to see you post some videos up of her doing what she does best. I read you also bought a dozer, who is the manufacture and what model? Can't wait to see your fleet altogether.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

sweet cant wait 4 video!!!!

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Wow, what a nice model. I bet you can't quit staring at it, and playing with it.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Dan it is a Stahl dozer and loader now I got to get the directions translated. Larry thanks a lot I appreciate it. Joe I'd have it running but I got to get some electrical connections for the battery I got 3 12v batteries with the dozer and loader so If I get a connector for a while I can run it with them. http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/y...r/DVC00072.jpg

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Nice! What are the demintions? By the pictures she looks to be pretty big!

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

i want one

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

It is big and i'll have to get you the dimensions for it. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Ed I LIKE IT, I LIKE IT ALOT..:D.You have any plans to do any special detail Thumb? ..Company logo?..You must be pretty happy about now ...Three machines all at once...i remember how pumped i was when mine came in the mail.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Lou thanks a lot I appreciate it.I could get a lot more excited if I could read german I have to find someone to translate it for me. Today I had to get connectors for the electric and solder up a 12 volt battery but I am going to get some lipo for the excavator. I got 3 12 volt packs with the dozer and loader. http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/y...r/DVC00075.jpg

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

really nice Ed...

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

J Hall thank you very much. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Ed, it will be a lot of typing, but you could input it in Google translator. If they have a PDF you could copy the text from there.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Ed! your one lucky s.o.b to own one of those diggers :mad: Very nice..

Oh! and to post more than one pic :p i ain't gonna tell you nah nah nanah naah!
Just click your mouse after the last ] hit enter and away you go has to be done after each pic.

Cheers Steve.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Steve thanks a lot. SonoraWraith I live by Syracuse University and as soon as classes start I will be able to go there and get it done but thanks. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

NICE! man how much does it weigh???

Zach

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Hi Ed

What options were available with this machine and what options did you get ??

Thanks

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Good to see you got it! But 4 or 5 pictures? That's all? Come on! After all the hype, I'd be posting 100 pictures, if it was mine! :D

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Nice machine Ed!:cool:

It would be great to see vids of all functions. Climbing, digging, traveling...

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Nathan and Scott thank you very much I appreciate it. Right now I am having radio problems got to call Airtronics monday boy if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Ed, what kind of radio problems are yoy having. Maybe we can help you out. Radio programming or set up is almost a universal thing these days. Unless you are having radio interferance issues? Might have heard something about that with these construction machines. Anyway, hope you get things ironed out!

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Hi Ed,

Man that machine has great detail. The hyd cylinders look really fantastic with the use of steel piping and the travel motors are nice and short in length, all round first class

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Thanks a lot Bob. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

My radio problems are I have a RDS 8000 when I turn it on it starts beeping and the screen shows TH-Hi! Basic. I changed the left stick to self centering so they both do that. It got something to do with the throttle I think. I just talked to Airtronics and they said it had to be reprogramed to send it back to them. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

That is an annoyance, but it stops if you just pull back on the stick to the airplane zero throttle position for a second then back to center. I have the same issue on same radio and it's a "feature." I guess it is in case you have some throttle in it when you turn on your model plane?

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Nice machine Ed glad to see you get some new equipment very nice

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Henry, And I thank you sir very much. I still have to build the Stahl dozer and the Stahl komatsu loader I got. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Well sent the radio back to Airtronics had them on the phone and had me move switches and things to no avail so they said to send it back and they would reprogram it free of charge witch is sort of nice of them but I have to pay the freight both ways. O well win some loose some. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Nice machine you have there Ed

What options are available with this machine and did you get any or is this just a "stock" machine ??

Thanks

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Daniel there are options on it. some of them you can't see. They have a quick disconnect bucket but I did not want that .Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Just got some good news Airtronics just called and said they fixed my radio and are shipping it today maybe by monday I'll be able to run the excavator. I also got 2 5000 mAh 40 c 11.1 batteries and 2 5000 mAh 40 c 14.8 batteries. I ordered A voltage drop from Digi Key and board also a voltage and amp meter so I can check the draw. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Ed, you are not messing around! I'll be interested to hear about your runtime.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

I had planned on running the 14.8 in the tractor and dump trailer with the voltage drop it takes it from 14.8 to 12 volts if I ever got it build and the 11.1 in the excavator but we shell see that why I got the voltage and amp meter so I can check the voltage and amp draw and drop. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

You must be incredibly anxious to get that transmitter back huh Ed? If I had a piece of equipment like that sitting in my garage... man oh man... I would be chompin at the bit to get her up and running. I suppose you will soon enough and when that day comes, we all expect lots of videos!!! Can't wait. Have you started building the other two pieces of equipment you bought?

Dan

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Dan no I haven't I just found a girl that is a teacher at Syracuse University that is from Bulgaria and she is going to translate it for me she has translated for Chrysler before but this is not cheap but at least I should not make any mistakes to much money involved here. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Well I finally got my radio back and I also found out that if I put a .42 resister in line it will drop the 14.8 volts to 12 volts. Things are coming together now if my back and shoulder will co operate I may get something done. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Here is an up date on the excavator. I have some bad news and some good news. The Airtronics 8 channel radio won't run the excavator I need a three proportional radio and unless I knew someone that knew how to wire a radio because today I found out all channels are proportional they just aren't wired like that. So out comes the new 10 channel Airtronics radio and as soon as I learn how to run it I will post video if I can figure out that. Isn't this electronic world just wonderful. Ed :confused::rolleyes::eek:
