Odd, didn’t you just receive the loader a couple weeks ago ? Wasn’t working when you got it ? Repairs should still be covered by the warranty.

Just ordered an 870 from Tang, Hope he can send it off before Chinese new years. I've been going over this thread again and appreciate everything posted to look out for and troubleshooting if need be.

Jack van, did you figure it out with your 870k? Can you describe in more detail the issues and when it started acting up? Supposedly it's checked twice before shipping them off.

Good to hear Lenny. Had a Magom bruder loader and it was just a bit small to go with my other piece's. Loved it and it is a little beast with no problems, just time to go bigger.

I requested video of the repairs they said I needed ot make to the 4200. I actually received the part (It came on a SLOW boat) 2 weeks before I got the video in my inbox. I hope that you get your video faster then I did mine.

I understand your frustration, it’s only understandable. Eagle Machinery’s customer service is quite good, I doubt very much they will leave you hanging. How come you said the motor for the wheels isn’t working if the loader goes forward and back ? Have you checked the wires for the pump’s esc ? Maybe there’s a loose wire.

to bad the customer service does not start when they build it hehe rc4wd will see what happens to me so far only they can prove if there worth anything all i can say now is those of you that can get anything good from the are LUCKY and i bet alot of those supposed rtr machines had alot of work done by the customer just so they can use it we should do a poll how many orders of machines from rc4wd work perfect right out of the box with no work

Any idea what % the pump motor is running at on your TX? Just wondering if somehow it got turned to 0 before shipment? Also for eliminating variables you could plug the pump esc into the channel for fwd/back just to see if the pump comes on when you hit that stick. Yea, very frustrating for sure. I kinda put myself in a mind set to begin with that these are entry level machines assembled and tested by 12yr olds.

I doubt many. Sorry to hear you've had such a time with it. Eagle stuff is entry level and do take a bit to iron out but nothing like the experience your having. Hoping we can still help you figure out something and get you moving material.

BIG note on the testing on the fwd/rev channel, Just do a quick check. The motor may spin a way to suck fluid into your tank and not the block so be johnny on the spot about unplugging it from the RX. This is just a test to see if the pump motor physically works.

Not quite sure what you were expecting when you bought the loader. Construction models are for experienced users only, it even says it in the description. You were going have to take your model apart and work on it sooner or later, it’s the nature of this hobby. Components won’t last forever. Members are trying to help you out here, threatening the manufacturer your going to smash your model because it’s not working won’t solve a thing.
