Quick build: Lesu MCL8 Wheel Loader

[frizzen]

Awesome looking loader! I'm really digging the rental fleet livery.

Sounds like some great driveability upgrades and tuning. Sensored or Brushed should be able to start smoother What size motor do they use?

Does your radio have channel slaving, so you could ramp up the hydro speed when channels call for moving valves?

Great to see some fresh builds on here

Thanks Frizzen. The stock motor is a brushless outrunner 2800kV 22-24mm diameter and 30-35mm length. It's somewhere around a 280 sized motor in brushed size. I have not yet disassembled it to see shaft diameter. I'd like to order a spare pump to experiment on.

I do have the mixes to run the pump as needed. It's the only way to keep the oil cool. The start/stop is hard for the motor especially under pressure. I thinks it's setup as well as I can get it. Slightly slower than ideal, but allows some fine control.
