Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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

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?

- can't wait to see your Goldie build...

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

I saw those a while back, honestly I don't think I will get them, I don't plan on hauling anything wide enough for me to need them. For now at least ;)

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Wow, I just seen your video for the first time, that thing has fast hydros!

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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 :)

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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!

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.;)

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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?

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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?

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Was planning on adding more weights anyways but metal tracks are a good idea.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

You really did a nice job of building this, very crisp and clean.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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?

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Weak brushless? Can you explain that in greater detail? :)

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Ayoub, did you see the new Hydraulic Ripper Kit by Leimbach?

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

very nice. will be expensive I guess

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

The ripper kit is only $431 US, according to Liembach's website. That's not to bad, in the grand scheme of things.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

OMG! I did not see that. I'm gonna have to order it soon... Thank you for the heads up.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

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.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Great lookin rig man. I want to try to build one but I don't know anything about them.

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

that was a great build i have 1 question though how many practice runs backing off the trailer before the video lol ;) :jaw:

Re: LR634 has arrived!
 

Ayoub, Every time I see pics of your LR634, it makes me want to work on mine. Sad part is, it is 1 of the last projects on my list of things to do. While mine will be full electric, yours makes me want to drool at the pics. Now to get some ambition and go work on things :eek::eek:
