Which hyd excavator pump/setup for a newbie

More volume means faster movements. Yes, you can increase pressure but you wear the pump out quicker. A volume of 380ml for all movements on one go are not enough, I believe. The Wedico Cat345 I have has the same pump at fixed pressure of 12bar(175psi). One movement at the time is fine. If you move the bucket and stick and the same time you can see how slow the movements are. If the bucket is full and you pick up the arm which has 2 cylinders you can see it even better. If you are not to worried about that you will be fine.

Personally I would choose the Jung pump IPZ1-7 which will be done in the near future.

Have ordered the liembach bruder cat hydraulic kit, it should arrive in a few days
Being a complete kit helped me to decide which to get, no need to worry about which connectors to get and so forth.
A bit concerned now by the previous post saying the 380ml pump won't be enough to move all parts at the same time when loaded, if this is the case. I will see if maybe one of the brushless motors and esc I have lying around from my airplane days will work with the pump to increase the rpm and I will try to implement the mixing on the radio to increase the life of the pump.

If during the time I have the set-up the pump fails, I would probably invest in the Jung pump as recommended by Actros 4160.
Hopefully the valve block, cylinders, hoses and connectors would all be compatible with the Jung pump as long as the pressure level is kept within their limits
Thanks guys
