Man I love this channel. I didn’t even know I wanted an rc semi truck or construction equipment. Until now.

Bob your videos are first class.

I'm a viewer that I see often. Thank you for the good information and detailed explanation.

Well done, thanks for sharing.

Oh yeah...operators are real picky on their control patterns. 😊 Great job and thanks.

good video

Great video, Bob. I'm sure this will help out many people who are new to the construction & equipment side of the RC hobby!

It looks like they have made a lot of improvements to the excavators over the years, as this one is much neater inside than Aaron's earlier versions from RC4WD. I had forgotten Cat uses a different control layout than everyone else. A great explanation on the radio and setting up the mixing of servo and pump.

That's a very well made digger, love all the tweaks so far Bob, you could get another and paint it in green camoflage to go on your hemi trailer. 👍

Amazing machine. Bob is incredible.

This is VERY helpful for setting the “CAT” controls on this machine. I’m thinking about getting one and this will come in handy. Thank you!

Love the electric/hydraulic mix. Very clever.

Nice video.

Mixing with these machines WILL improve the battery life greatly! It makes the difference from one hours run times to 1.5-2 hours run time!

Very interesting!

Great video Bob. That’s a quality model. Love your in depth explanations. Keep them coming. Looking forward to the next one. 👍🏼

Nice I have the rc4wd bulldozer and the 870k wheel loader amazing machinery. They both work very well.

“Forward boom” is usually known as the ‘stick’ and the “rear boom” as just the ‘boom’.

That is very cool to see.love how you showed us how to d a mix if we want to.thanks for that.

Great dig video man!

Great to see how to change the control patterns. Even though we don't actually have any CAT machines I think that's how all of ours are set up, I can't remember for sure though because it's muscle memory at this point. FYI most guys (at least around here) call the "forward boom" the stick, and the "aft boom" is just the boom.

Awesome Bob very impressed with the video

Great video Bob. Can’t wait to see the Dozzer 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦

good work

They are nice and not cheap but still cheaper then Lesu i believe. Great video glad to see the brace off your thumb.

Glad to see more videos coming out Bob. Makes the cold winter pass by fast👍🏼 can’t wait to see the dozer video

Another great vid bob thanks :)

Awesome❤👍👊😍🔥

AWESOME video!!! I have been really curious about the quality of this one, and how it compares to the high quality, and really scale models that come out of Germany! Thanks so much!

That's the way a trackhoe operates. U also have controls for a rubber tire backhoe. Witch is up&down and swing will be on one leaver.and in&out and the bucket will be on the other control.

Thank you for all the hard work that goes into producing these videos, I love the builds, you are extreamly free with your advice and explain everything extreamly well. I am looking forward to the next project, you mentioned a dozer, I hope its a full build and the more complicated the better, you may have gathered its the build that interests me, have you thought about doing a novice, intermediate, and pro build as a series? I repeat, thank you for all your hard work sir its very much appreciated.

Great video Bob :) I'm picking mine up this weekend: I shall follow your footsteps :)

I really enjoy your channel Bob & love my rc hobby butt $2,700 for an rc is way more than I'll pay, glad your thumb is healing up...

Nice machine!! And also a great video, great reviewed, Bob!! The transmitter is a Flysky/Turnigy FS-I6S. I have the same radio for my new to build Mercedes 1850L Delivery truck. The USB cable is to update the firmware, be sure to update to the version that is released in April 2020. It has dual rate, wich was missing in the previous firmware, but now is present. Looking forward to the dozer. Great work!!!

i have an earth digger from RC4WD and i love it but i never taken it apart love the video

Nice bro

hi Bob, great video i have the xl4200 excavator from rc4wd and now thanks to your video i can modify the controls, thanks !!! can't wait for your video on the beier sfr1 unit.

Bob, Enjoy your videos very much and I don't even do RC stuff! You need to learn to resin cast driver figures if you don't already know how. The dozers will just not look right without drivers.

Hi; you can change the stick modes faster by go to , system stick mode ,use number 4mode!

So I have to tell you that I would be hesitant to take one something like that 😳… But the way you detailed how ,, I’d feel more confident to take on .. Great video. 👍🏻👍🏻 I WILL be getting one of these and I’ll be coming back here for help … Thanks 🙏🏻

hey buddy how are we all today . i really hope u hurry up amd do the next one for sound lol. im hooked . iv got the huina v4 im going to convert to hydraulics . and ill be using ur channel to get the best tips .

I dont own one , but i am thankful you shared how to program it.

With tractors and trailers that do everything a real one does (working fifth wheel, trailer drop legs and air suspension etc.) the only thing missing is exhaust smoke. Have you ever considered using a 10-16 volt 5 millimeter smoke generator from the model train world on a project? This would really be neat on construction equipment or trucks. If you can do light up dash instruments then this should be a piece of cake for you.

Thanks for the insight 👍 Sub'd✌️

You did a great job on the video! That is a nice looking excavator. I don't have the Bier sound system in mine. I have the Servonaut SMB unit which requires 4 mixes to do all the sounds. That radio only has 4 mixes. So in the end, you can't mix the pump cause all available mixes will be the sounds. I've been debating on getting another radio with more mixes so I can do both the sound and the pump on my excavator. My 870K has the pump mixed and it is nice to have that feature. I'm very excited to hear how your sound system actually sounds. I've seen some super realistic stuff from Bier. I'm even more excited to see what you do with the D10. That is next on my list so I look forward to those videos!!!

FYI..the two booms have names..the dipper and stick. Dipper is closest to cab, stick has bucket attached

Any possibility of a review on the rc4wd Wheel loader?

Thanks for info but with oil do you use 22 32 or 46?

Rc4wd has a light kit made for this excavator.

Great oveview of this machine. Defenitely a sub from me. What is your thoughts of this vs the 4200XL? Also, I have a question in regards to the mixing. As you mixed it in this video the mixing was only for being able to move the bucket and arms while the pump was not on. However, is it possible to mix without the delay so that you use the mixing also when digging? Or do you have to have the pump on 100% when digging?

Could you not have achieved the same result by changing the "Sticks Mode" Mode 2 in the Tx?

top notch video as always, Ive just added this unit to my line up of Hydraulics. going through the process of installing the extra options and changing the controls around also.. You have a eBay store? If so Im sure Ive bought from you before but I know I do business with semi joes as well..

Just got one and it looks amazing! Will set up like you showed. Also.. How did you get side plates off? Allen wrench fit above tracks? Also looks a bit tricky to change oil..curious if you did that yet and how? Thanks!

The left joystick , push it up & runs the ' stick / croud ' out

Great Video..thank you. I had the older 4200 and this looks nicer. I like the mixing idea too. Question is there any way to make the tracks progressive the old ones had speed controllers for each track so you could control the track speed? Also how do you adjust the overall head pressure? Thanks! Tom

John Deere or kabota controls are better in my opinion. lol that’s just what I learned on and am used to which I believe is default controls on that excavator

When you added the oil to the system, did you have to bleed the air out?

you might try to set that offset % to a value greater than - 100% and +100% to get rid of the lag. This looks like a Flysky FS-I6s TX which lets u set the percent values for servos to a value greater than 100%

The settings on that radio allows you to switch the channels on the main 4. so you don't even have to move around the actual receiver cables... Just FYI for the next one. I think they call it Stick Mode in the system menu.

Ciao ti volevo chiedere se percaso sai dove aquistare i ricambi per la escavatrice 360L

Think all you had to do was change the stick mode. To M3

What did you use for a driver figure?

you have channel 9 set as a switch instead of a roll. I bet the type of channel in the settings of 9 is different than 10. They need to be VRA and VRB if i remember for 9 and 10. You might have it as SWA and VRB. I don't have my radio with me. but all that is adjustable in the settings.

Hey Bob what do feel the biggest battery you could fit? 6500mah or smaller.

Hi BOB ,I have a question for you . Are you aloud to tell us where we can purchase these 1/14 scale construction machines and also the 1/8 larger scale ones as it is hard to get them in Queensland Australia .

HELLOW, I GOT A FS-I6S WATH HAPEN WENT IN THE BATTERY INDICATOR TX100% and the RX ITS SOWING A? MARK LIGTHS BLINKING IN THE MACHINE AND DONT TURN ONPLEASE ADVICE THANKS.

CAT controls.

Is this made by JD? As many of their other big trucks

What ronote control it s this

Hi I was wondering if rc4wd store is a good place to put my money on

How much do those cost?

Hi, I have oil coming out of the muffler. Can you tell me why?

PANASONIC ✔️ DIMENSSSOES ESKAWADORA

Where do you buy this

hi ,how much excavators?

If possible, the owner needs to program/mix the pump to only come on when he asks something from the hydraulics. He shouldn't let the pump run continusoly, just when the booms or bucket is working.
