I will see what I can do, living here on hill on an island in Malaysia with no landline, our internet is a slow 3G connection with limited bandwidth. So video not really an option at the moment. Maybe I can do it from the free WIFI in the airport.

I would change the layout of the hose here - having the t-piece like this and the gauge hanging of it might give you problems later on

Thanks for pointing that out! You are right, I cut the yellow hose at the bottom of the pressure regulator too short. Will replace it when I redo the electrics. The pressure gauge is on a quick disconnect, so normally not there. But that doesn't change the fact that I have to redo those connections. Going to be messy and oily ... have to wait till the wife is out.

Had some time this morning to test out the adjusted program on the RC.

On the way out, had to park it so I could open the door. Placed it at the first convenient spot and found out the foot print of the excavator is almost the exact same size as a flat of 24 cans!





Battery is a tight fit



Got the bucket full with gravel from the parking lot (also added some by hand as layer not deep enough), seems to be holding fine like this on a flat surface.
