thanks Kaf


well a little set back need to remake the front I had issues with the z link then once I got the right dimensions for that I also got the right boom , cylinder dimensions . I thought I could get away with just remaking the boom but now I can't get the bucket flat on the ground I could add extensions to the boom frame work to bring the boom pivot point up , BUT that'll look like poo . Soooooooooo , re-cut time but in steel not to worried about weight

Oakydoaky finally goy a vid of this baby diggin now I'm not use to usin a raidio to operate . Also the valves are going to take some gettin use to . But I'm slowly getting the bugs werked out of er I'm going through battery quick on the pump . but thats because the radio not set up right yet . I gotta go through a 100+ pages to figure what I'm doin wrong

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4OKB...ature=youtu.be

some pics of the new front from plate to assembly







since these are in the pics I'll show them I just couldn't resist with the mill being idle for a couple days been gettin antsy seeing a 374 and the start of a 390 soooo here's the in betweeners been planning for almost a year on them .









1 will have a mass stick and the other will have no stick but something in it's place

thanks for looking

Nice job Steve! All these excavators being built right now is making me want to build another one myself! I only wish I could build with that level of quality.

Thanks Reg , you do a fine job your self . I got that VMC to help with the parts I make for ppl , if it wasn't for that , I'd be building the same way you are with manual machines . I spent some stick time today with the loader . A lot of the probs I have is the transition from real machine control to the radio . I'm gettin it though . no vids though I gotta fig. why the h3!! it takes so long to upload anything anymore

I have problems controlling my 955 for the same reasons, but the excavator is much easier. I have it set up with cat style controls just like my Kubota mini so as long as it's not facing me I'm not too bad... I guess if a person ran the models as much as the real machines(cough, Joe) it would probably help a fair bit.

Keep up the good work!

Reg

As you all know , I haven't been happy with the tires available to us . Sooo I've been doodling in Acad for a bit this is what I came up with .



I already got the mold halves drawn but vismill will not load them up for some reason might be way to complex for a cheap cam program Or I got to upgrade to pro



I'm going to make some kind of home made injection molder still trying to werk it out in my head werse case I'll just pour them like Tom did with his triple 7



Back to werk

Steve the loaders lookin great. The tires however are looking just a little on the squishy side of the spectrum with that 24lb load on them.
