Re: RCLogger
 

Greg, nice weight & power! More vids please.:)

Re: RCLogger
 

nice work Greg, your 8 turned out awsome and it works smoothly too nice work so whats next?

Re: RCLogger
 

Awesome work Greg! Any issues with testing so far? Looks to have a pile of power.. Great job.. I can have a low boy on the road anytime:D

Re: RCLogger
 

Just need a CAT 330D Forest Machine!

Re: RCLogger
 

Yes that works nice. Why are you ripping and dozing at the same time? Like Scott said; More Video, I want to watch more action.:D

Re: RCLogger
 

Looking forward to more videos Greg, nothing less than 10 minutes each. :cool:

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks guys, the power is good. It seems like the motors don't even have to work hard.

I tried the ripper and the blade at the same time just to see if I could manage the transmitter switchs at the same time..

Joe: Not sure whats up, but it is taking forever just to load a short video right now. The attached vid took 50 minutes to load and it is only a few minutes long..

Re: RCLogger
 

That looks really nice. I love how that ripper looks.

Re: RCLogger
 

Very nice work! The dozer looks and works great! I like the video. Good to see someone finally using the ripper. Very realistic.

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger
 

Wow turned out great. I'll be over with the float tomorrow to pick her up.
Rob

Re: RCLogger
 

Great looking dozer :D:D Detailing is outstanding.

Re: RCLogger
 

Wow, that's alot of stuff crammed in there. That really turned out nice. What's the run time with all those batteries?

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks for the comments on the D8R guys. BIG DAY TODAY ! Finally had some heat and sun to go out in the back yard and do some work. Started off building road to areas where there were weeds to remove, hope to haul them out soon...

Re: RCLogger
 

Great video. I can't wait to see the D8R with the ripper down tearing up the lawn to make room for more roads;)

Re: RCLogger
 

Jordy the D8R has been trucked up North for some summer work. ;) I hope to see some video's of it working soon as well..

Cheers

greg

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg thanks again, the D8R will have a busy new home, lot's of roads to build this spring!

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger

Re: RCLogger
 

Nice video, can garden work be more fun than that?
Can´t wait to do some gardening work myself.
Dan

Re: RCLogger
 

cool way to weed the garden, great video too
the machines looked great too
what ESC are you running the D8R on

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks for the comments, it's a good time working in the garden, hope the weather warms up soon so I can get back out there. Had another SNOW shower go through yesterday... :( Its April, I am ready for some warm weather...:rolleyes:
I use Sabertooth speed controls, there is a few tricks with them but generally they work well..

Re: RCLogger
 

Hey Greg, Nice job on the D8. I'm curious, how thick are the side plate's on the main frame. I'm trying to decide if 1/8'' aluminum is thick enough? Working on resurecting my
1-7.5 Cat D4H project. I like your choice of drive motor's, I think I'll try some.
Thank's, Neil#2 aka doodlebug

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks Neil I was very happy with the results of the D8R. I use 3/16 or 1/4 on the side frames as that is the main structure to the whole model, also it is nice to be able to counter sink your bolts on the side's of the machine as that is the angle that is in view the most.. ;)

cheers

Re: RCLogger
 

Thank's Greg, time to sharpen my pencil!

Re: RCLogger
 

Hey Greg! Love your models. Im new to the hobby and I am wondering how do you build these? Is there a tutorial somewhere? And whats the average cost?

Re: RCLogger
 

Welcome Evan
If you checkout the start of all my threads you can see how everything is built, if you have any questions just ask..
cheers
greg

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg, I'm gone a couple months and you've done it again. You build something every two months. The dozer turned out great, but I would like to see some more video of it working.

Re: RCLogger
 

Hey Greg, I'm confused on the batterie's? 18 volt for 12 volt drive motor's, is that because of the esc's? I'm guessing the drive motor's aren't run wide open all the time?
I'm getting part's gathered for the D4H project.
Thank's, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.
