Hi Bigford,
Did you get the morepower valve body?
If so what do you think of it!!
I'm think of ordering one as I have a puddle under the valve body every time I run mine.

cheers
Jamie

HI bigford,

I hope this helps you a little, this come from Page 9 of the China Kat Manual, I got my hand on a copy of the Kat manual in word format from buychina and translated it to english.

Letter to buyers:

1. Power reconcile the remote control and other electronic components should be strictly in accordance with its rated voltage to use, due to the risk of DIY , so the electric reconcile controlled burn in the conversion process, do not be replaced.

2. The hydraulic model is a complex system, electronic system is very easy because of misuse or heat is not good to burn, the Company does not cover electronic systems and remote control for hydraulic pumps, valves, and cylinders and other hydraulic components warranty 6 months. And non- modified, once the demolition of its own. Due to the complexity of the hydraulic system, an initial understanding of the hydraulic friends should be carried out under the guidance of professionals to install, research, multi- query data, more consultation seller, in order to achieve the purpose of proficiency.

I got a similar reply from the same hydraulic issue with the valve block....roughly stated, "do the complexities of understanding, we suggest professional help, thank you for your understanding." I fired back that i was not complex and that i didn't need professional help, my shrink said so......Buychina is agent-based retailer for the actual manufactural, they have no idea what your talking about and can't provide any technical support.

Magom hrc has some good stuff and they keep getting better and better! Rams are just 50. USD and they can custom make any size and they have a lot to choose from. The recently upgraded their pumps to a brush less with relief valve and supposedly they have heating probs sobtheyvwent with the Jung pump. I have their newer brush less with pressure relief built in and haven't been able to use it yet but thanks to Freddy gear drive I built a sweet oil cooler out of an old heat sink. Personally I don't like their valves cause they bare so small 3mm nipples. So its going in my brothers high track. I spent the money and bought an RC 4wd valve really wish I haddnt but o well. Magom has been real good about emails and they ship from Spain to my door step here in Oregon in 6 days. RC 4wd is one state love and it takes weeks! So I think if your having problems at least try magom once you'll prob be happy at least with the rams and they come apart now instead of being soldered.

Just watched the youtube video.
typical kat, not enough power and radio settings not right.
bin the pump ( if it is a brushed , same as I got) swap out for a rc4wd setup. Valve bank and pump.
change up the radio settings and fit a relief valve. Replace all hoses and your digging.
rams may need some oil seals due to rubbish tolerances.
Not a knocker just answering a question from another forum.
I think you will be digging before I finnish mine.

cheers andy

So I've took Andy's advice, I've order the Valve bank as already had the pump
Now I need to work out the radio settings!!

Any help would be appreciated on how to set the radio!!!

My radio is a turnigy 9x, it has a smartieparts board so I can flash software to it.

cheers
Jamie

If you are using ER9X firmware with the Turnigy 9X then I can help you.
I can send you the radio settings for the RC4WD setup (with the relief valve)

That's the settings I had but, I set it up to normal mode again,

I can re flash it to ER 9X again. The settings would be good to have in ER mode.

thanks
Jamie
