Deere Crawlers

out the door shipped from ttm-funktionsmodellbau.de is a little over 1800 euros. U still need a at minimum 4ch radio system, two dual escs and 6cell battery pack.

All the way up for full dump. No mid dumping but it will tilt back real far. I found a good side shot of a 755d off the net. Then pulled the logos out and printed on white vinyl paper. It took a few test sheets of regular paper to get the right size.

All gear driven motors setup, no hydros.

Nice machine Scott. Would you that the loader is worth the $$?

Thanks!

Thanks Scott. So if the bucket can't be dump mid height, is there some sort of electrical interlock that prevents that function? Or is it a case of the speed controller function or internal programming? Kind of like the cheaper toys that do a dump function after the bucket is raised all the way? Is this something that could be changed by running a different, or separate ESC, then what comes with the kit? 1800 eruos is about 2500 US? Not a bad price at all. Might be a great lower cost option for those not quite ready to spend more for a full hydraulic model. It will be interesting to see what you think of the model's long term reliability and power.

Nathan I think the dump function may be limited to the geometer of the linkage. On my Bruder conversion this also is the case. It has to be up all the way in order dump all of the way. The stock toy is like this too there is not enough travel in the ram to allow anymore movement. I'm not sure if this is the case but I figure I would chime in.

[Espeefan]

Probably right, Brian. Scott did say the linkage sucked. I can't imagine the real machines having the same problems. Probably a case of the model's dimensions being compromised for sake of functionality.
