Premacon 960 SME Down Under

[thebigo]

Congrat's Tony, mines shipping next week as well. Guess we will be showing off on the site soon.

What options did you get? Mine will be loaded with the cab display, but I didn't get sound, maybe a mistake, I don't know?

Hi David. I got the Advanced assembled 960 SME with sound module. Hydraulic quick hitch. Special Colour.
Light kit. Scale package. Wide bucket with steel teeth. HD bucket with steel teeth. Ripper,

No display though. Scaleart are working on a new display for the Sa5000

I'm happy for you as well. Congrats, mate. We will both have them at the same time.

Well, I live in Brisbane and I'm building a 1/16th dozer with tilt blade and 4x barrel ripper and RC construction is my hobby. I'd be interested in connecting up with the group locally but I see it's 1/14th scale - does that count other scale builds out? The other thing is I don't do facebook, twitter alibaba and all that, I don't have the time for a social media lifestyle and with the exception of RT&C - my spare time is devoted to making my RC model and any web time I do have spare, goes right here to RT&C. Are you planning on doing anything on the ground locally like getting a boots on the ground group going, RC construction field days or anything, or is it gonna be just a facebook thingy.

Wow! really great models. I'm happy to see that because I ordered a 944 from Premacon back in April....might ship in February per Yvonne. I debated back and forth between the 944 and one of the larger models.
I ordered the same colors....gray & white....looks fabulous!
I decided to try the Servonaut HS12 radio, but I had to order from GearDoctor because Premacon doesn't sell it (yet.) I think it will be a good match and has a pretty detailed manual available in English. Brixl I think, does not. (although the Brixl in-model display is too cool!)

Question for those of you in the USA....Yvonne told me I HAD to run oil specified as HLP-22. I cannot find a supplier that will sell it in less than a 5 gallon drum (for $200.) What oil are guys running and from what supplier?
thanks!
Keep the info coming. The wait is long but it keeps me going.

That's fantastic Paul nice machine, and will be interesting who the Sevonaut HS12 goes, looks very nice, good question, as I was wondering about the oil, as to of o can get the Hydraulic oil here in Australia, I am using Hydraulic Jack oil for my RC Bulldozer that works a treat.

Hi Paul,
I am in Australia and the HLP-22 was a bit hard to find as its not the standard hydraulic oil. I also had to buy 20ltrs, think of how much this model has cost and the recommendation of what to run. $200 compared to what it may cost to fix up the problems for running the wrong oil. The thicker the oil the slower the machine will run and the pump will need to work harder to pump the thicker oil.
My 960 runs like a Swiss watch with the HLP-22
Just my 2 cents
Cheers Paul

Paul, (Titandigs), is right. I am going to research and find out if my oil is acceptable or not, it's a very expensive machine.
