Default Re: LR634 is HERE!!!!! Tracked loader

Yesterday I got 50 minutes of heavy usage out of a 1350Mah 11.1 3S Lipo running the brushless pump motor! I had a 2S battery hooked up to the drive motors and to a separate BEC. I do have it mixed so the pump only kicks on when needed.

Then I got another battery and blew a hose. I turned up the pressure without using a gauge, so I am sure to blow some more until I get one.
I started making a video, and then it blew.
Then I took it apart, fixed it, took it out and a hose just popped off! Cleaned up and popped it back on, also routed the hydraulic lines a lot neater this time.

The loader





The work site. The hole was started by hand, the only thing carried/peeled out by the loader is the pile to the left.



The burst hose, probably pinched it when forcing it over the nipple.



Funny how the grease collected into a pillar. I am using Lucas Red'N'Tacky.



Two Great Planes? fuel filters, using them as air filters basically.



Just blew off, cleaned up the oil and slipped the hose back on.



Video, hose blew about 6 minutes in, almost at end of video.
