Re: RC4WD Loader
Ha, I agree with Ayoub, that is funny!!!
I would guess the California thing is because the manufacturer made a deal with RC4WD that if they sell direct to a customer in the US (were the buyer does not buy through RC4WD) they not will sell to someone in California because that is where RC4WD is located... That is all I could come up with for a reason.. Pretty stupid isn't it?? Yes I thought that was weird when I first read it. But I am sure they want to sell their product and will sell to whoever wants to buy it. Which means that you don't have to go through the Dealer. Maybe the dealer for this will be adding even more money to get their cut.... Thanks, Eddie |

Re: RC4WD Loader
guys- have you seen the weight of this on the Swiss dealers website?
Gewicht: ca. 34kg Surely that can't be correct?!

Re: RC4WD Loader
Yeah, I noticed that too... it might be 34lbs, the measurement originally used for the American market, seeings how RC4WD is their main distributor... but even that's a stretch!
The excavator claims to be 44lbs to this day... it aint anywhere close, even with the tx sitting on it too. I don't have a scale to weigh it, I think it's around +- 30lbs.

Re: RC4WD Loader
So after looking at the video a few more times, noticed that this loader is huge!! they have it on a Goldhofer and it makes it look tiny, since I have one, that loader will just look so out of scale for my taste. So gonna pass on this one. Now if I got one as a gift, I wouldn't say no

Re: RC4WD Loader
Hopefully it is better than the excavator they sell I have never been happy with mine seams funny you buy a new model and then you have to redo it when you get it but hey Wedico is the same way.

Re: RC4WD Loader
I just measured my Stahl WA500
L - 660 W - 230 H - 270 This HK model is about 10% bigger. Anybody know what model Komatsu this is suppose to represent yet?

Re: RC4WD Loader
It isn't a Komatsu. The rear hood makes me think of a Leihberr but not sure what it is.

Re: RC4WD Loader
I don't think it's supposed to be any of the 1 : 1 brands, I don't think any of those brands using double linkage for the bucket, but to me it looks like a mix between a liebherr and a Volvo. And it should be about the same size as the wa500 from Fumotec I think.
Will be interesting to see more of it. |

Re: RC4WD Loader
Well, from what I have seen in the video, they are having problems with the front drive. Seems the drive for the front tires does not want to work some times. You'll see it in the beginning when he first backs up - rear tires dig a hole, fronts are not driving, you can see both front tires, so I know it's not just a differential thing. You know something's up because he stopped for a second too, for no reason. Watch again carefully and you'll see other times the front drive isn't working, a slight jerkiness to the movement, probably why he's going so slow too. As said, those axles aren't going to last long either pushing 5" plus tires!!
I'll pass!!! John Last edited by JohnStilwell; 12-28-2013 at 02:37 PM. |

Re: RC4WD Loader
What axles are in this model? The same ones used in the Armageddon dump truck, I assume? That's kind of what it looks like, but it's hard to tell.

Re: RC4WD Loader
It looks like it will have great potential but as long as that hydraulic tank is attached it one side door of the drivers cab , I feel it looks very weird and unreal.

Re: RC4WD Loader
It's on the RC4WD site, but listed as "Out of Stock".

Re: RC4WD Loader
It "looks" good. I like that it is big and heavy too. Hopefully having planetary axles will help keep those center sections together cause they sure look small between those tires...

Re: RC4WD Loader
Well, at least the cost is a tad less than the China rep quoted me.
I think the look of the loader is cool. Structural appears very strong. Wow, 45LBs!! It looks like it has plenty of room in that humped back for a good size 3s. I am sure it will need it. Someone else brought up the axles and tranny on this loader, I think that would be the biggest question mark. Also I am pretty sure it has that extra valve to control the oil pressure along with all of their same hydraulic set up like I had in my HK excavator (that I removed). Just can't get used to that hydraulic sound. I like the cab, the bucket, the fake brake calipers, the lights, and the overall size. |
