1:14 Liebherr LR 634 Carson - Leimbach

[kamyoncu]

Hello to all my friends

Here is my new 1:14 Liebherr LR 634 Carson tracked loader. I will use Leimbach hydolic system on it. As electronics, I bought servonaut BMA and M220. I am looking for a original sound system for my tracked loader not like servonaut SMT.


Opening boxes



According to manuel the first issue is side trunks of track, however it is unpainted. Firstly I thought join parts unpainted than I change my mind. Now I paint spoon and side trunks. I used RAL 7016 for downside parts and I will use RAL 1007 leibherr yellow upside parts. I want to construct a original standart painted car.

[kamyoncu]

RAL 7016 provided perfect color in perfect condition, but 1007 could not provide as the same performance; therefore, I will buy auto paint instead of spray.


I used metal tooth instead of standart plastic ones.






Than I jointed motor and its connection parts.

Here is joining of tracks.




I painted downside the orginal liebherr gray.






Montage of gearbox and motors



And spoon was painted same color with the downside.

[kamyoncu]

I joined and sticked upside parts.



I started paint the parts to original Liebherr yellow.

After paint dried, I add my stickers instead of Carson. The reason that is stickers very weak and they can easily spoiled. After aplication of stickers, I spreyed polisher on al cab, so it saves both paint and stickers. Note: Bostancı insaat means BOSTANCI CONSTRUCTION COMPANY



I added tracks.

Now I added hydraulics. I wonder why fittings are smaller than nipples ? It is impossible to fit them on the input and outputs of valf. If you guys have any idea please let me know.

[kamyoncu]

I started to attach parts.



I put all together loader to see what can I add before final glue.

If you guys have any idea or recomendation before finishing cab details please let me know. About electronics or hydrolics or genereal view.

I was going to ask what the distance between the tilt & loader arm holes were on the bucket, but you have it all assembled already!

I wonder if it'd be possible to get the bucket seperately?

[kamyoncu]

@ Lil Giants, forgive me I could not understand the points. Could you show them on a picture ?

I did not assembled, I just put all them all together, I know you are a professional, If you have any idea for improvement I open to all.

Nice build ,congrats on your new trackloader,About how long did it take you to put it all together?

because of painting It took 10 days. I finished my wedico cat 345d lme in 3 days It does not take so much time if there is not massive painting issues.

Awesome build! Looks challenging.

I might like to purchase this bucket from the Carson loader, if it is sold seperately, for a different loader model that I have. The distance between upper & lower pin holes of my current bucket is 35mm, which greatly impairs the curl radius at a low level. I'm currently using a bucket from the Bruder track loader and that particular distance is about 30mm & the bucket dumps sharply at a much lower height.

[kamyoncu]

You are lucky because lenght is very nearly 35 mm. I am not sure does they sell bucket separetely. However, I believe that it will be fit for you tracked loader.

Nice loader, good job!

Nice looking model. Mine just shipped a few days ago. Thanks for sharing.

[kamyoncu]

Although cap was white, I used spray polisher to get realistic view.



I added oil depot detail. I painted metallic head of it.



I made little shorter hydraulic hoses than leimbach offered. So my system works more efficient.




After hydraulic done, I mounted servonaut m220.




I directly mounted leimbach hydraulic esc to m220. I can directly control hydraulic motor speed and on-off properties from radio.

I have a question to users of raupen and dozer

Did you guys recommend to add more weight on the loader and how many kilo does it takes Scaleart CAT ?


used 12 volt battery on the videos. I wait my 4s lifepo battery it will be 13.2 volt so, my raupe will be more strong.

Here is the videos of hydrolic test and driving test

This looks like such a cool model! I want one very badly! Where did you purchase the hydraulic kit for the model? Do you think you will have enough room in the chassis for all the electronics, especially with the addition of the hydraulic system?

Nice videos. Seems to have excellent performance! The hydraulics are very responsive. Good to see the bucket has an improved tipping geometery. Perhaps that bucket cylinder has just a tad to much stroke, as it begins to curl the bucket back in, once the linkage passes the maximum extended limit? A very minor problem, if at all.

Looks Great!
What are the tracks made of....plastic, aluminum?
Did you have to paint all the track pieces individually?
