Re: Quick build: Lesu MCL8 Wheel Loader

Thanks Frizzen. The stock motor is a brushless outrunner 2800kV 22-24mm diameter and 30-35mm length. It's somewhere around a 280 sized motor in brushed size. I have not yet disassembled it to see...

Quick build: Lesu MCL8 Wheel Loader

Gonna start dumping more content here since I miss the heyday of this place and PMD's forum.

Acquired a kit a few months ago. Been together and tuning on it for a while now. Barely any...

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

A little paint would go a long way. Just too lazy to fully disassemble.
As for the cases, yeah I need to finish a couple chocks/blocks and it'll be complete.



Stack is the goal. The bolt...

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Case worked well bringing the Hitachi to a Diesel show. Was only a few miles from home though. Mostly just enjoying playing with my machines.

While gluing in the windows many weeks ago I broke the...

Re: LINN Model DD-15 "HafTrak" Dump (1/14)

Awesome to see this getting worked on again. The drivecup and pinion mount are beautiful. Do you plan on swapping all the printed parts for metal, or only high stress parts?

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Thanks Jerry. I hope the tie down system is as solid as expected.

Tapping the stainless steel nutplates sucks, so I ordered some aluminum nutplates. Thread tear out will be a concern.

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator now is a little strap to secure the bucket and slew

I needed a new brake bleeder for my real truck. Did the vacuum style, so maybe I can use the same to degas the resin. Haven't tried it yet.

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Tried out the elevated pour. So far so good. Still has small internal bubbles when cut, but OK for my use.

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Been quiet around here in all sections.

I was too slow to paint the kenco and it rusted up. Recut it in stainless and painted it. Found some super thin .15mm THK M1.6 washers for assembly....

Love the tiny machines! What are the approximate undercarriage dimensions? Will it be electric or hydraulic?

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator

Electromagnet in the barrier lift works pretty well. Ended up using a brushed ESC instead of a switch so I can power it with fully battery voltage, then limit it to 5V via travel endpoints on the...

Re: Is this hobby dying in the US?

Agreed.


Construction modelers have options for electric and hydraulic RTR excavators around a $1k price point. Lots of mainstream options to purchase. Those machines will naturally create...

Re: Metal Hobi MH-245 kit as Hitachi ZX245 excavator
