Stahl Liebherr LR632

[egronvold]

For those of you who have read most of the posts on other forums, please bare with me

I bought this used from another member on the Norwegian forum (www.rclastebil.no). The hydraulics were not installed correctly, but it was easy to fix. Luckily I had some spare tubing laying at home. It came with a Servonaut M220 ESC and a separate ESC (30 AMPS) for the pump).

First pic. It was so clean and shiny

The first upgrade was a SMT and ML4 from Servonaut.

PIs from the 2010- spring cleaning





Then I built a styrene cab. It's black because I had planned to change the color of the loader.



Due to sand and dirt the pumpmotor caught fire. I replaced it with a stock Tamiya slivercan to save some money



The next modification was made to the undercarriage. If often got filled with sand while driving, making the loader loose its belts.









The SMT was replaced by a SMX

New hitch



More lights were added. It's dark most of the day in Norway during the winter





More scale details added











Under the hood



I had to move the extra front lights. The tended to light the sky instead of the ground









Better tipping angle



It's boring only having a bucket. I made these forks from spare metal laying around. They are quite strong.

looks good! Love the shot gun in the cab

[Claus]

Is the gun for smart a$$ truck drivers or non-backer upers or???

[RCTech9]

This is a very nice T-L. I love all your little details, Your forks all of it

[RCLogger]

Thanks for all the photo's, your loader looks great. I never knew that the track frames on that model are only onesided..

Xllnt details Emil.

I suppose with your abilities to mix hyd functions with pump rotation that using this 7.2v Tamiya motor works quite well & never runs too fast?

Everybody in your norwegian group run Servonaut esc's? Is it the Servonaut electronics or 2.4 radio systems or both that eliminate glitch all together?

I need to do some upgrading with my electronic systems in my constr equip.

It's for keeping the larger Cats and Komatsus away

I guess it prevents glitching. In addition it's so much easier with 2.4GHz at our meetings; no need to worry about frequencies I've seen guys running on the same frequency, and it's not pretty... I guess the reason most are running Servonaut is because it's very good for trucks and constructions machines.

My pumpmotor is limited to about 50%. It's only running when I'm using the lift- or tipfuctions. This way I save alot of power and increase the lifetime of the system. I'm using a 5000mAh 11,1V LiPo battry btw. The radio is a Futaba 10C.

[Lil Giants]

That's quite a big radio for this 4 or 5 function model, is it b/c the lesser channel radios do not offer the same mixing capabilities for hydraulic operation?

5000mAh, what's an estimated run time for the model if you were working it steady?

[egronvold]

It offers all the mixing etc I could ever want.
My setup is like this:
1 Lift
2 Tilt
3 Forward/ reverse
4 Steering
5 Lights
6 Sound
7 Pump ESC

Still have spare channels for more accessories

I guess I can run for about 3 hours using lights and sound all the time.

From time to time I've had trouble with sand in the sprockets (literally). It's time to do some further modifications :yikes:

Before the mod. The sand at Jessheim is very sticky when "wet". In the future I'll be even better at spraying the sprockets and belts with teflonspray before playing. Teflonspary is very effective to prevent sand from sticking to metal. :nice:



Steady hands :IKillMySelf: Milled from both sides.













More pictures from a previous mod. The front wheels kept falling off the metal piece attaching it to the undercarriage.





One improvement often reveals another weakness To prevent the wheel from falling off the axle, I attached a washer to the axle.

Nice loader, truck & trailer.

Thanks for the video. Please continue to make more vids.

[Espeefan]

Very nice! I always like seeing photos of these machines. They are such neat models, but we rarely get a view of the internal workings of them. You are a member on Scale 4x4, right? I have spent many hours viewing all of your club's photos there. You guys have a very cool playground for your models. Much like a model railroad club, but for scale RC trucks and construction equipment!

[egronvold]

Yes, I also post at scale4x4, since not everybody is a member on both forums.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

[Stuff]

I lol'ed at the shotgun :P

[D8R]

Looks like you are using the model alot, that´s nice, should be built to use!
Guess I have to visit you sometime.

[egronvold]

I've added some more details during the weekend:

Detachable plate with different towbars (The VBG is not yet fastened)









Aircleaner





The door is finally in place





Reflex tape



Repainted the undercarriage and lifting arms

[pumptech]

All the extra details look great!

The latest film, it's been awhile...

The trackloader works very well in the sand now.
