RC4WD Loader

Re: RC4WD Loader
The tread plate in the first photo looks so real! Are you sure it's not a 1:1?
|
Re: RC4WD Loader
Looks like a model to me. Easy to find scale treadplate material.

Re: RC4WD Loader
That's sweet , especially if it's in the same price range as the other models they carry.

Re: RC4WD Loader
Now they just need to make a bulldozer and a track loader too !:D

If the price is right (for a HK loader) I might get one and paint it Orange like a Doosan loader. |
Re: RC4WD Loader
Doosan colors would be cool. I like Doosan's probably because its the only wheel loader I ever operated, a DL160 and DL400.
|
Re: RC4WD Loader
I think I see the trans they use in their trks, and it's probably the same axles too... components that were designed for 2 inch wheels running on hard flat surfaces that will now be used with 5 inch wheels to push extreme weight in soft ground... :rolleyes: it'll be crap just like the wdc stuff is.

Re: RC4WD Loader
transmission is same one I have in my Globe from the looks of it.

Re: RC4WD Loader
Yes that is a very cool metal body. Yes it will be very interesting to see that bad boy and how much it costs. Good point about the trans and axles. In the video it looks like the operator was doing a good job, but it looks like they were being very cautious for this first video. Ayoub, anything in Doosan orange is sweet..

Re: RC4WD Loader
I've got the price from the manufacturer in China, they gave it to me because they have no dealers here in France.
They quoted US$3650 including express delivery to France, not sure what import charges would be though :eek: More info from a Swiss dealer Looks like it has potential, especially with the metal body, which would look great in Orange :cool: Not sure about the axles though either. Stu |
Re: RC4WD Loader
well that swiss dealer translates to 5700 CAD!

Stuart, does each country within the European Union pay 19% tax for all goods & services or is it only Germany that is that high? |
Re: RC4WD Loader
I sent an email last week to the manufacturer just out of curiosity to find out how much this loader costs. I copied and then pasted the info below from the email response back to me about the loader:
"Thanks very much for your interest in our Exclusive Hobby-1/14 RC Hydraulic wheel loader,You can find our website and test pictures link below for your reference: http://eaglemach.en.alibaba.com/prod...el_Loader.html May I ask which state in US are you from?If you are from California,we can not sell to you;If other states,then it is ok.Our 1/14 RC Hydraulic wheel loader hydraulic system is similar to 4200xl 1/12 excavator,but more advance and also equipped with engine sound effect,it's RTR version with radio. We just finished our 1/14 wheel loader prototype test before sales production,and estimated launch time is around 40days.And yes,it's paint before ship out, and also have light system but belong to upgraded parts,Standard version doesn't include this,here below is some information. 1/14 RC Hydraulic Wheel Loader(With Radio Controller) US$3500/ Set,Plus express freight US$400 to US; RTR Version Scale: 1:14 100% CNC machined aluminum Flysky 9 channel 2.4Ghz radio Optimized steel hydraulic system Length: 741mm Width: 249mm Height: 276mm ......" |
Re: RC4WD Loader

Re: RC4WD Loader
Ha, I agree with Ayoub, that is funny!!!
I would guess the California thing is because the manufacturer made a deal with RC4WD that if they sell direct to a customer in the US (were the buyer does not buy through RC4WD) they not will sell to someone in California because that is where RC4WD is located... That is all I could come up with for a reason.. Pretty stupid isn't it?? Yes I thought that was weird when I first read it. But I am sure they want to sell their product and will sell to whoever wants to buy it. Which means that you don't have to go through the Dealer. Maybe the dealer for this will be adding even more money to get their cut.... Thanks, Eddie |

Re: RC4WD Loader
guys- have you seen the weight of this on the Swiss dealers website?
Gewicht: ca. 34kg Surely that can't be correct?! |
Re: RC4WD Loader
Yeah, I noticed that too... it might be 34lbs, the measurement originally used for the American market, seeings how RC4WD is their main distributor... but even that's a stretch! :D
The excavator claims to be 44lbs to this day... it aint anywhere close, even with the tx sitting on it too. I don't have a scale to weigh it, I think it's around +- 30lbs. |
Re: RC4WD Loader
So after looking at the video a few more times, noticed that this loader is huge!! they have it on a Goldhofer and it makes it look tiny, since I have one, that loader will just look so out of scale for my taste. So gonna pass on this one. Now if I got one as a gift, I wouldn't say no :D
|
Re: RC4WD Loader
Hopefully it is better than the excavator they sell I have never been happy with mine seams funny you buy a new model and then you have to redo it when you get it but hey Wedico is the same way.

Re: RC4WD Loader
I just measured my Stahl WA500
L - 660 W - 230 H - 270 This HK model is about 10% bigger. Anybody know what model Komatsu this is suppose to represent yet? |
Re: RC4WD Loader
It isn't a Komatsu. The rear hood makes me think of a Leihberr but not sure what it is.

Re: RC4WD Loader
I don't think it's supposed to be any of the 1 : 1 brands, I don't think any of those brands using double linkage for the bucket, but to me it looks like a mix between a liebherr and a Volvo. And it should be about the same size as the wa500 from Fumotec I think.
Will be interesting to see more of it. |
Re: RC4WD Loader
Well, from what I have seen in the video, they are having problems with the front drive. Seems the drive for the front tires does not want to work some times. You'll see it in the beginning when he first backs up - rear tires dig a hole, fronts are not driving, you can see both front tires, so I know it's not just a differential thing. You know something's up because he stopped for a second too, for no reason. Watch again carefully and you'll see other times the front drive isn't working, a slight jerkiness to the movement, probably why he's going so slow too. As said, those axles aren't going to last long either pushing 5" plus tires!!
I'll pass!!! John |
Re: RC4WD Loader
What axles are in this model? The same ones used in the Armageddon dump truck, I assume? That's kind of what it looks like, but it's hard to tell.
|
Re: RC4WD Loader
It looks like it will have great potential but as long as that hydraulic tank is attached it one side door of the drivers cab , I feel it looks very weird and unreal.

Re: RC4WD Loader
It "looks" good. I like that it is big and heavy too. Hopefully having planetary axles will help keep those center sections together cause they sure look small between those tires...
|
Re: RC4WD Loader
Well, at least the cost is a tad less than the China rep quoted me.
I think the look of the loader is cool. Structural appears very strong. Wow, 45LBs!! It looks like it has plenty of room in that humped back for a good size 3s. I am sure it will need it. Someone else brought up the axles and tranny on this loader, I think that would be the biggest question mark. Also I am pretty sure it has that extra valve to control the oil pressure along with all of their same hydraulic set up like I had in my HK excavator (that I removed). Just can't get used to that hydraulic sound. I like the cab, the bucket, the fake brake calipers, the lights, and the overall size. |
