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
 

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

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.
