Default Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)

I have a question or two for all you hydraulic fellas on here.....

What type of oil filters are being used in models , are there inline and intank
filters??
How much would these small filters effect the flow if the needed volume is greater than the typical RC system??

How big should the tank be in regards to the total volume of oil in the system, should the tank hold the same amount or more, or can it be less providing the oil temp doesn't get to hot? I can't see the temp of the oil in this model being a problem....there will be about 700cc in the system not including what will end up being in the tank, which is one more thing that still needs to be built. I would think that the longer the model is being used the warmer the oil will get....how warm does the hyd. oil typically get in your machines??

I have limited knowledge in regards to hydraulics and no experience with RC hydraulics...zero...so be patient with me as I hope to learn more from all of you and of coarse the good ole " school of hard knocks"
