Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Ed, you are not messing around! I'll be interested to hear about your runtime.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
I had planned on running the 14.8 in the tractor and dump trailer with the voltage drop it takes it from 14.8 to 12 volts if I ever got it build and the 11.1 in the excavator but we shell see that why I got the voltage and amp meter so I can check the voltage and amp draw and drop. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
You must be incredibly anxious to get that transmitter back huh Ed? If I had a piece of equipment like that sitting in my garage... man oh man... I would be chompin at the bit to get her up and running. I suppose you will soon enough and when that day comes, we all expect lots of videos!!! Can't wait. Have you started building the other two pieces of equipment you bought?

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Dan no I haven't I just found a girl that is a teacher at Syracuse University that is from Bulgaria and she is going to translate it for me she has translated for Chrysler before but this is not cheap but at least I should not make any mistakes to much money involved here. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Well I finally got my radio back and I also found out that if I put a .42 resister in line it will drop the 14.8 volts to 12 volts. Things are coming together now if my back and shoulder will co operate I may get something done. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Here is an up date on the excavator. I have some bad news and some good news. The Airtronics 8 channel radio won't run the excavator I need a three proportional radio and unless I knew someone that knew how to wire a radio because today I found out all channels are proportional they just aren't wired like that. So out comes the new 10 channel Airtronics radio and as soon as I learn how to run it I will post video if I can figure out that. Isn't this electronic world just wonderful. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
Why don't you run a Futaba F-14, or a Futaba F-16. You could even step up to their computer radios like the Futaba FX-20 or the FX-30. They are pricey but they are nice. That or you could go with Brixl radios which are extremely expensive. Those would all work perfectly for your application.
