Re: New member. Building D8
 

Looking good. Just watch that Cat drawing, they are not totally to scale. I think this is done on purpose. Just a heads up.

Re: New member. Building D8
 

Thanks for the heads up. I am cross referencing measurements also. Has any one ever used the hyd pump from rc4x4? I will post more pic of my progress soon

Re: New member. Building D8
 

Welcome to the forum:) Great start, looking forward to seeing the progress.

Re: New member. Building D8
 

Here's a mock up of cab. Still not sure if am using electric actuators or hydraulics. How do u hook up two speed controllers to one receiver ?

Re: New member. Building D8
 

Sabertooth dual motor controller

I vote for hydraulics, much faster, more realistic movements than electric actuators.

Had more time to work. A cnc would be nice. Lol table saw and jig saw is slow.

Has any ordered from premcon. Also wondering what duty would be like from Germany to Canada ?

Re: New member. Building D8
 

There's no duty. You'll pay 5% GST & whatever your provincial sales tax is when you receive the parcel.

Payment is usually done with a bank wire, but you could ask if they have paypal or other.

Re: New member. Building D8
 

Great thanks for info. I have decided to go hydro. Ordering from premacon pump fittings,hose extra. Here's what I've done today.

Re: New member. Building D8
 

I'm curious to know what motors you went with, and controllers? I'm building a d11 and haven't decided what setup to go with. So I'm always trying to figure out what others do.

Re: New member. Building D8
 

I am using the same motors as rclogger. Watched his videos and they seem to work very well. I am using the sabourtooth 2/25 Controller. I have had it hooked up and seems to work really good. I weighed my d8 with out electics hydraulics and no blade and it was 36lbs. I figure when done be around 50lbs. Hydraulics are ordered hope to see them in a couple weeks. I have most of the building done. Time to tare it apart to get some paint on it.
