Looks awesome. Well done.

Really good to see a model of a big U.S. hydraulic hoe after all the jap machines that are so common. I was at a show a while back and they had a big Insley hydraulic hoe with an 8V92 in it running, really cool machine to watch running. Who's gonna build the big Northwest 100DH in 1/16?

This turned out real nice Robert! I agree with the rest the LinkBelt theme makes for an excellent model.

Re: Another KAT on the prowl
 

Thanks guys for the kind words. I wanted to do something different and i really like the Linkbelt colors too. The guys at the local LBX dealership helped me out with some paint....Big-Ups to them:):). I took the EXC by their office a couple days ago and they couldn't believe this actually ran off mini hydraulics.

Re: Another KAT on the prowl
 

hey rob
i got my more power valve and 2 of the 3 servos are glitching!
what mini servo did you use?
looks great in link belt colors

Re: Another KAT on the prowl
 

i hope you have better luck with them, the two sets i had didn't have a center. i am using the valves from Magom.....great holding power. they don't sink at all. They servo that come with them are no good, i tried the Hi-tech mg 85 i believe and they worked good, no glitching.

Thanks Ed

Re: Another KAT on the prowl
 

i'm using the Magom valves, very good holding power.
For the Morepower valves, i didn't have any luck with them, no center, no holding power at all. the servos that came with them too are no any good, i think i used hitec mg-85, i will check see.

Re: Another KAT on the prowl
 

Wow man!!! What a build, great job on everything I especially liked the hard lines and body. Kinda scares me about buying one, and having to do all those upgrades I don't think I'd have the patients

Re: Another KAT on the prowl
 

Imo of the KAT machine, one would be better off buying the bare machine w/o hydraulics. You will want to upgrade them so don't pay the extra money for it. I had new bottom and top plates cut. The aluminium that comes with it is very soft and and thin.....which makes it hard to tap. To make it more scale like requires quite a bit of upgrading. I will figure a total for the finished model excluding the R&D parts that are scattered across the room.

First pics of it outside in the dirt and video coming soon, whenever it finishes uploading to PB.
