Worked perfectly in my machine with the pump supplied by Fumotec, its exactly the same valves which he use in the 490 except made of steel instead

Only valves I'll use, haven't had any problems with those valves and pump. A lil' pricey but superior quality!! I'm sure you will find out

I had a terrible time with paint, it never really cured and could chip off with the slightest knock. So after much thought I decided to strip it and repaint it using an airbrush instead of spray cans.
So far I’m really glad that I’ve done it, there was things I wasn’t happy with the first time round so this has given me a chance to repair/fix these which will hopefully improve the machine. Anyway it slowly goes back together. Still loads more painting to be done ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

liftmys10 - thanks I'm super happy with how its turning out.
Joe - sadly I have not used it since I originally painted it! Disgraceful I know ![]() I cant comment on the screen either, as its yet to touch any dirt... Been distracted building and painting other trucks, but I should be back to this soon enough |

A screener showed up in the mail Friday, pretty simple bit of kit to put together, Frank does good work.

Note to self - Do not try and paint 2 projects at once!
A shed load of sanding, filling, primer, paint, anger, more sanding, more filling, more painting and some clear coat later progress is being made! Currently down to the last 4 main items, everything else is hanging up curing and waiting to be fitted. Alongside a Tamiya Scania which i'm building ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Finally the painting comes nearly to an end, only the cab and interior parts left to do
![]() ![]() ![]() Assembly begins, far easier this time around as I know what parts I struggled with the last time - these hose fittings were a nightmare before because I installed the hard pipes then put the plastic hose on. Trying to tighten these connectors without damaging anything was near impossible. Better results this time ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A little more done tonight
Started of with the hard pipes - the screws that hold the pipes on was a nervous job, trying not to scrape any paint but I got away with apart from a little mark. Then all the pivot holes cleaned out from paint, the ram was put into its place and the stick mounted to the boom ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Calum |

Well it lives again
![]() Everything connected up, oil in the tank, bled it up and checked for leaks - so far the only one was a return pipe to the tank which was a quick fix. I've been painting interior parts in the meantime - a mixture of airbrushing and hand painting ![]() ![]() Also last weekend got the final coats of yellow on the door and cab, those were clear coated and left to harden up. I've given them a light grey colour inside. Next job will be to glue the windows in and mount the door ![]() ![]() ![]() And yesterday it was time to test it out, just some light digging whilst I set pump speeds and pressures. I mainly just wanted to see how a trial went, lasted nearly 1 hour on a 5000mah battery which I'm happy with ![]() Then as the battery was coming to an end my swing stopped working ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
