Odd, didn’t you just receive the loader a couple weeks ago ? Wasn’t working when you got it ? Repairs should still be covered by the warranty.

Just ordered an 870 from Tang, Hope he can send it off before Chinese new years. I've been going over this thread again and appreciate everything posted to look out for and troubleshooting if need be.

Nice move Benny your going to love the 870k. With just over a year of run time on mine that machine still surprises me with how strong she is. Congrats again

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Jack van, did you figure it out with your 870k? Can you describe in more detail the issues and when it started acting up? Supposedly it's checked twice before shipping them off.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Good to hear Lenny. Had a Magom bruder loader and it was just a bit small to go with my other piece's. Loved it and it is a little beast with no problems, just time to go bigger.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

I requested video of the repairs they said I needed ot make to the 4200. I actually received the part (It came on a SLOW boat) 2 weeks before I got the video in my inbox. I hope that you get your video faster then I did mine.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

hehe i told them all i want to do is take a sledge hammer to it will see but as far as i see i will def think twice before i recomend rc4wd to anyone

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

I understand your frustration, it’s only understandable. Eagle Machinery’s customer service is quite good, I doubt very much they will leave you hanging. How come you said the motor for the wheels isn’t working if the loader goes forward and back ? Have you checked the wires for the pump’s esc ? Maybe there’s a loose wire.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

the hydrolic motor does not work but motor for wheels does.there is no hydralic at all but machine moves forward and backwards but does not turn and bucket does not move.I should in no way have to take machine totaly apart after i pay almost 5000 canadian to get a ready to run machine ?you might think it is a deal but i dont

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

to bad the customer service does not start when they build it hehe rc4wd will see what happens to me so far only they can prove if there worth anything all i can say now is those of you that can get anything good from the are LUCKY and i bet alot of those supposed rtr machines had alot of work done by the customer just so they can use it we should do a poll how many orders of machines from rc4wd work perfect right out of the box with no work

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Any idea what % the pump motor is running at on your TX? Just wondering if somehow it got turned to 0 before shipment? Also for eliminating variables you could plug the pump esc into the channel for fwd/back just to see if the pump comes on when you hit that stick. Yea, very frustrating for sure. I kinda put myself in a mind set to begin with that these are entry level machines assembled and tested by 12yr olds.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

I doubt many. Sorry to hear you've had such a time with it. Eagle stuff is entry level and do take a bit to iron out but nothing like the experience your having. Hoping we can still help you figure out something and get you moving material.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

can not blame a chilld it is the teachers fault lol

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

BIG note on the testing on the fwd/rev channel, Just do a quick check. The motor may spin a way to suck fluid into your tank and not the block so be johnny on the spot about unplugging it from the RX. This is just a test to see if the pump motor physically works.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Teacher? You mean the dude telling him this is what he does to get his portion of food for the day?

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

Not quite sure what you were expecting when you bought the loader. Construction models are for experienced users only, it even says it in the description. You were going have to take your model apart and work on it sooner or later, it’s the nature of this hobby. Components won’t last forever. Members are trying to help you out here, threatening the manufacturer your going to smash your model because it’s not working won’t solve a thing.

Re: Rc4wd 870k wheel loader unboxing and review.
 

hmmm a model that works for one would have been nice and you have to start somewhere and well i can fix most things that i break lol and even build stuff haha just dont like paying for crap that bothers the s**t out of me should have just order it in kit form for alot less ?
