You must make very fine excavators. This is a piece of art in my opinion.

Re: THE MOTHER EXCAVATOR 700
 
thanks :-D

this project is born with a simple idea,
professional project but with easy solution, high power and not expensive.

i built it with good stuff like a premacon valve, the piston is made from a real piston manufacturer, the motor for the tracks and turn is custom by my specs.

i made my own tracks in bronze material by my project drawing.

is not fully detailed like a premacon because a lot of detail mean more money.

the excavator is 40kg and work with 35/40bar pressure

The clear view oil tank is quite a trick idea :cool:

What's the ground level reach of your excavator?

nicely done! the layout is very clean indeed.
Id be interested in details on your track pads, ive been saving brass swarf for just such an endevour

hello Lil Giants
the bucket capacity is ± 1.2 litre or 1200 cm/cubic

hello footprint
for the tracks we use a bronze lost wax casting.

something like this

Re: THE MOTHER EXCAVATOR 700
 
Bucket displacement sounds big, I'll have to measure my own to see how it compares... but what I was asking was measurement Q in the diagram (usually I see this measurement from center point of swing, not front of cab).

Thanks Paul

Looks like you have a very solid machine. Very impressive!!! Good work and it runs smooth. Can you post a link or more info on the frsky radio? I did not know they made that model.

paolo84verona 01-13-2016 07:39 PM

Re: THE MOTHER EXCAVATOR 700
 
Thanks guys.
The frsky radio is a good radio. For the first time is a bit difficult to setting but after some times willbe easy.
Is a solid aluminium case and is perfect for a excavator or same stuff

Re: THE MOTHER EXCAVATOR 700
 
Looks like a great product) 4000 Euro is a good price. Remember it's a difference from producing 4 machines to deliver like 20 machines in a year..) Many new producers often underestimates the production time, and promise delivery to the customer after 3 months. Then later say; 6 months. Then later say; 9 months..;) When not quite sure about production time, as one possible not are in the start, it's better to tell the customer a long delivery time, like 10 months...Then it will just be a bonus if one can make the delivery after 6 months;) Just mentioning this as people in the hobby often seams to be quite disappointed if delivery time of a product is much longer than what they were told at the beginning) Good luck, will be interesting to follow the development.

hi Rimrock.
thanks for your question.
normally i am very very clear about a detail, performance and time to built.
because i know what mean wait something for a long time.

in this case this is for me an hobby not a work and i know how many time i need for construction.
normally i take 6/7 months.
for the same reason i know how many parts i can do in a year and after this number i stopped the production.
is not a mass production. i prefere less parts but with good quality.
thanks paolo

Great, thumbs up) Seeing the well though of construction details and solutions, I'm pretty sure the you/designer/fabricator is in full control about the whole process;)
