Greg, you should add a Cat decal to the left side of the arm. :)

Other than that, looks very nice! :D

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks Joe I have built another undercarrage the same as the one on the log loader. Not sure if it going to be a excavator or log loader yet.... It was a spring day here, sun, showers changing every 5 minutes.

Here is another video of it working for the first time..

Re: RCLogger
 

What's the next build. I really enjoy your builds. I am trying to build a dozer like the one you built. Hope it turns out. Keep up the great work

Re: RCLogger
 

wow looking good Greg and great videos too, your next project should be a 330 excavator for me :) yet again another awesome build by yourself

Re: RCLogger
 

Fantastic build, I love watching your videos. Actually to tell the truth somehow I came across your videos on youtube a few months ago and they are one of the main reasons I got hooked on this hobby. So again thanks for sharing.

One question, Can you give any more info on how you connect the undercarriage to the excavator? I am looking at your photos in post #318 on page 17, but I still dont understand how you have that setup.

Thanks

Re: RCLogger
 

thats funny you said that,:D as you will see a CAT 330 fm machine come to life in the next few weeks...

Re: RCLogger
 

You see there is three holes on each side of the swing motor. That is what the house main plate is attached to..

The servo city drive I get at 6 rpm, then invert it, the gear is mounted solid to the undercarrage.

Re: RCLogger
 

Thank you so much for sharing that part, I have been scratching my head for quite a while on how to build the turntable. That part is perfect.

Thanks again

Re: RCLogger
 

Do you have countinius travel with that??

Re: RCLogger
 

If you checkout my thread starting on #370 you will see how I built my continues rotation.. ( slip ring ) The wires come up through the centre shaft of the swing motor and then solder to the brass rings...

Re: RCLogger
 

I mean does the kit from servocity have countinues rotation? or have you modified it?
