Default Re: PC1800 Front Shovel (1/12)

Looking good KP. When I built my Volvo I bought a Mustang convertible top pump with cylinders for $80. I thought I had found the ultimate poor mans hydro pump!lol Anyway, it fit in the machine perfect but I did a quick test and it drew 13amps just firing up with no load. In my machine there is only enough space for one 12ah battery so I had to ditch it and change to a smaller pump and motor. At least you have the space for more batteries! If you can increase your pump rpm to run all cylinders at once at a happy speed you will be able to dial in the TX mixing on the pump and valves so that it speeds up or down depending on the movements. This should help with run time and make the machine easier to run.
