rc4wd 870k loader
 

I see now rc4wd is now offering the Eagle 870k loader again. Is this an improved V.2 version? It costs slightly more than the V.1.5 they sold before.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

funny i was here to ask the same question. I've heard about the axel troubles and was wondering if this has been worked out. All the videos i find on the 870k are over a year old. thanks in advance

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

I emailed the main guy,his name is Tang from Eagle machine and informed me that they have only been selling new versions for well over a year and they addressed the differential issues on previous versions. The RC4wd ones are the same as buying from Eagle except they do not have a sound module in them. This is what I was told from Tang.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Thank you for the info on the loader. From what ive seen and heard about it i'm in 100% good to know if you buy from eagle you get the sound kit aswell but that can always be added later on if bought from rc4wd. thanks again all good info

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

So the loader from rc4wd does not come with sound module but the same one from Eagle does come?
What's the price difference between them?

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Keep in mind prices change alot, but at the time I was inquiring "Early November 2016" there was a 200 dollar price difference between the RC4WD and direct from Eagle. RC4WD was cheaper because they shipped without the sound module.

I was also informed it is not possible to get these loaders without a radio system. They come ready to run only. Just thought I would throw that in as well because that was my main concern.

I got one of the first version from Tang and had the diff issues , but easily fixed, the service was second to none , he also sent new upgraded diffs to me for free, and will one day get the dozer direct from eagle .
I have dealt with rc4wd in the past and wasn't overly impressed.

cheers andy

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

so glad people are stepping up with info on this. thanks it helps to ease my mind about the prices were talking about....

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

I would not hesitate to send Tang a email, he is very easy to converse with and always seems to reply within a day. He has answered all of my questions and I have not purchased anything from him, yet.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Such a sweet looking front end loader :)

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Good job with the painting of the above pictured. Must agree that the loader looks better with the bright yellow color, than the rather 'lame' original yellow)

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Did Andy repaint the yellow portion too?

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

i don't have first hand info regarding what's possible been done. Just think the yellow on that picture looks brighter than the 'yellow-brown' we are used to see on the pictures of the model. If it's repainted, or the photo/light conditions fools us, or the fabricator uses different color tones, I'm not the one to tell

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

cheers guys,
um no I didn't redo the yellow , its how it came but I did give it a polish with some cutting compound, painted the black with a cheap spray can and made up the decals.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Man, that is a beaut Clark. Can't go wrong dealing with Tang. When I had 4200 issues through rc4wd he couldn't help me direct, but let me know that he would do all he could if things went south with rc4wd. I ended up getting things resolved through rc4wd but will go through Tang here on out (JD-98 on the way.)

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

I wonder if this loader will ever come on sale like the excavators do.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

The only time I've seen them on sale was at 5% discount on Eagle's aliexpress store. Only reason the excavator version 2.0 is on sale is to liquidate the old stock since the new model is out.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Do you remember around when it was on Sale? Just curious if maybe they do it certain time of the year or not.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Last time I saw them on sale was during their 5 year anniversary which was early in the fall of 2015.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

They also went on sale at the beginning of 2016

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

not sure if this is the place for this question. but looking for payment info for the 870k. (thru tang) theres western union who gives no protection at all, then theres paypal with a 4.4% fee its a no brainer to protect 4k. But if you pay paypal thru your c/c then shouldn't they also back you up. Any owners please chime in.. just trying to see the most common way. Ive never sent money to china before. thanks Lenny

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

I am also dealing on a loader threw tang for mid to late March I was quoted for a price of with the sound module and paypal fees the total would be 3832.50 American which is about 82 bucks for the paypal fees. I know there's a few people here have bought from him with western union and have no issues.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

yes that seems to be the way to go, i was quoted a price with sound and light kit shipped to N.Y for 4k with useing paypal and there fees. checking out other pay options today. I will keep you guys in the loop as to help anyone else who's looking.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

I believe if you use Western Union at certain locations you can use your cc to send the money. Would this then be protected by your cc or as soon as WU gets the funds its just in their world? I used WU to pay Tang at my grocery store and had to use a pin debit card. This also meant I could only do payments of 2k or less so it had to be done in 2 payments in 48hrs as my debit card had a 2k a day max. No issues and have my product from Tang, though I was a bit nervous till that big box showed up even with tracking info.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

I just looked threw my email exchange with Tang and he quoted me 3750 with sound and lights included shipped to sask canada threw western union pay. The lights are not installed just the sound kit.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

the light kit that is supplied is it complete? meaning work lights, turn signals brake lights. hard to tell by video as im not sure what light kits people are using. I will be sure to send some video once its here. Tang said the kit has dual beacons but no real info on the rest of the light functions. thanks for everyone's input on this.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Look forward to seeing yours in action and opinion of it. This is what he sent me.

Morning!

That's US$3750 plus US$82.5 Paypal fee,total US$3832.5,loader is installed sound module,but without light system,light system price is: beacon light US$35/ set(two units),

light system US$65/ set(tail&steering light etc),if you pay by Western Union,we could offer a complete light system of wheel loader to you currently.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Here's a video from Eagle demonstrating the light kit upgrade they sell for the loader :cool:

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

thank you for that video, cleared up all my concerns. Now the waiting game starts...hope they dont ship it on that dam slow boat.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Been my experience that if it's coming from China (eagle/rc4wd) it'll take 3-4 weeks.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

looking for some info on the battery people are using. rc4wd states outta stock.. any other drop in batteries out there?

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Here is what I copied off of the Website for the 870 battery:
3S 6500mAh 11.1v 20c Lipo battery (Max size: 73mm X 80mm X 132mm)

You could use a battery with a little less mAh. Since you know the dimensions and that it is a 3S, check out this link for a battery:

https://hobbyking.com/en_us/batterie...ll-brands.html

They have tons of batteries with all of the dimensions listed.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

thanks for the lead. dhl contacted me to say it should be here Monday, if thats true it was less then a week not counting s/s. I have waited longer for packages from jersey..

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Hello, i wanted to know if you had to pay import duties on it? And if so how much was it?

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

For me no import fee here in N.Y just 3850 and 450 of that is shipping, and thats with sound and lights. Hardest choice was the excavator or the loader first. And now the dozer.
.. o-boy .. i see a lot of o.t in my future. plus find time to play with the stuff.

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

take the toys to work with you and play with them dureing ot haha

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Was just browsing RC4WD site and noticed the 870K looked different and realized Eagle machinery updated the rear panel on the loader :cool:

Re: rc4wd 870k loader
 

Look like they also removed the fan that the older models have attached to the hood.
