Barely Scraping by, Without Any Help - Building my First Road | RC ADVENTURES

- Recently, I have a lot of blacktop asphalt freshly laid down in my parking area of my home. We have never had the great pleasure of having a paved driveway before. At our last place, it was all dirt and rocks and mud - 24/7. What a great luxury experience to be able to drive my Semi Truck outside and on a smooth surface. It's a great opportunity to see if I can load my excavator that is 70lbs on to the trailer I have. I don't have a good feeling about it.. as the trailer seems way too small. We will see. Regardless, I want to take my 1/14th scale Radio Controlled Road Scraper and Vibrating road compactor - out to the sand pit and test them out. I have always read that the scraper will need extra help.. but that remains to be seen. If it does need some help, I'm sure I can come up with something. I thought I would try my hand at road construction. My equipment is quite heavy, and all hydraulic and electric. Everything is radio controlled, of course. Some of them are quite complicated. These are the kind of Toys I have always wanted in MY sandpit.. what about you?
What do you think of them?

Dude..Crazy good adventure you have going here..not sure if this is now or past episode but here goes… I am from the Gold/ Silver mining industry and really get a kick out of your mining claim operation. I saw the episode of you guys showing the nuggets mined during the season..BUT..you did not show the Gold in “scale” size to the operator dude standing next to his Gold “boulders”. I mean seriously dude..these little miners are really pulling in a tremendous amount of Gold bullion.. figure out the scale size and weight and make these scale miners the millionaires they deserve to be for all their hard work. I really respect the amount of skill you and you friends have doing this…thanks for giving us all this to enjoy…GOLD…!!!
Thank you so much Randy! What an epic comment to receive. That is a true honour. I know the boys will enjoy reading this comment, so I will pin it to the top!
If my barely capable mathematics brain cells are right, if the scale is 1/14, you would multiply the real Gold weight by 14 to get the scaled value? I think that Randy's idea is brilliant! A 20 gram day would scale to 280 grams for the miniature operators. You could get some faux 1/14th scale gold chains for them to hang around their necks. Full bling.
@@BradGryphonn doesn't 1/14 scale mean a linear scale ? (for length AND width AND height)
and thus the volume and weight of objects (which is cubic) would have to be 14³ (=2744) times bigger,
and 20 g scaling up to 55 kg or 100 pounds ...
edit: with today's current gold prices (57351 US$/kg) this would be over 3 million US$ !!!
@@Anson_AKB I defer to your mathematical skills and also rejoice in how much richer the tiny operators are now that a real accountant is on the job. :o)
@@BradGryphonn ya, they lost me when they passed 2+2=4, but then again, that was before that Obama math where 2+2=5.378 or some other such nonsense,lol
“A grown man playing in the sand with rc’s”
I can top that- A grown man watching (with delight) another one playing in the sand with RC’s!! Thanks brother!!
Yea I'm right here with ya
Agreed!🤣 The entire 16 minutes lol
You are not alone. I am here with you 😅 We should start the `men playing in the sand brotherhood`
@@Kid_Rado 🤔🤣Facts I'd bet the wives would just love to see us playing in the sandbox😎🤣
Amen!
I am genuinely amused at how many viewers say "you should go and watch videos on TH-cam on how to use a scraper".. When I literally am on TH-cam all the time, and clearly have watched videos on how to use a scraper. Today, I was in a sand pit.. and this is exactly how I would use an earth mover - even as a first time operator. The door to the belly only needed to be open a bit .. depending on your cut depth. Same with dropping the belly blade. And yes, you can push the earth mover with the dozer - OR - use the ripper to pull it. The front hook is designed FOR another scraper or a dozer ripper to pull it.. its why its there.
They transport just the tractor unit on the trailer the scraper is towed behind still attached to the tractor unit
The dozer pushes so that when the scraper reaches the end of the cut it can just drive away while the dozer reverses to push the next scraper. When doing tandem scrapers the lead scraper loads while the rear pushes it, once the lead is loaded it will pull the rear scraper. I’ve been in construction my entire life and don’t believe I have ever witnessed a dozer pull a scraper by it’s ripper. I think you had trouble because typically the work area for a scraper has been graded by a dozer first. If you think about it and scale those dips to same size as scraper in 1:1 they would be 6ft deep. No scraper is operating in those conditions. I’m genuinely not trying to be a dick, just wanted to give some feedback based on real world experience. Love the videos keep them coming! I’m looking forward to seeing more of this big CAT
I dont think your being a dick, as you say in your comment - but the hanger on the front is for the tandem scraper setup or a ripper to pull.. if the scraper does not have the hook on the front, then the dozer HAS to push it.. see here: th-cam.com/video/KS63t8zSCCA/w-d-xo.html. In tandem, the hook is for the pulling pin on the lead scraper, while the middle is actually doing the cutting
Everytime I read the manual upside down it always says I can take 12s and come with smoke simulation is this right.
I have never seen a dozer PULL a scraper. They only push scrapers. The reason is practicality. The scraper gets into the cut, the dozer turns in behind the scraper and starts to push. When the scraper is full, he picks up the can, makes a hard turn, and goes. The hard turn is because it is easier to turn the can than to pull it straight. This way he can pick up a gear, and get some momentum. The bail is strictly use to hook the rear of another scraper. Suggestion, open the apron more. It looks like you where plowing the sand, and getting stuck. If the apron had been open more, then the cutting edge would have sliced into the sand, and loaded into the can. You only close the apron down after you start loading, so that the material in the can doesn't spill out. Practice, practice practice. Love the machines.
🙌🙌🙌 Hands up for men playing in the sandbox. 🤟😎👍
If you open your front gate for the scrapper and put the ejector forward all the way it acts like a big dozer blade. Just some advice from an scrapper operator.
Bringing back memories of operating for me. I put in a lot of time with a scraper out in the Middle East, along with every other equipment you can think of. Wish I was in Canada to show Sparks how it's done!
Even if it was a dozer blade, the sand was too loose to use as such. It needed a pull or a push..
We normally ran the gate full open at all times and only ever used a push dozer, never pull. Gate only closed when you transported the dirt to where you wanted to put it down. Ejecting the gate would be full open and I would normally just adjust with vehicle speed or ejector speed if I had to.
@@wolf16731 Dang, you must have been in lots of sand.. but as I said, I was buried up to the axles in moments.. open gate or not.. I cant believe people are arguing the points of how someone is having imaginary fun.. lol The world these days.. I think for my first attempt, I kicked ass
Ran a buggy for some time. Fill your hopper with you gate half open and close slightly once the dirt hits the ejection wall and continue to fill with a push dozer. To put a nice even flat lift down of dirt. Always be moving forward, open gate first and enough to have a slight spill out then start slowly ejecting. Lift gate fully 1/2 way of ejection. Really cool toy and I'm hooked now on your channel. Keep this stuff coming man. HAPPY RC ING
Can’t wait to see you drag that scraper with the dozer!!! And another dozer pushing it at the same time . That’s a true display of teamwork!!!! G.O.L.D. 😎
Like it
7:33 - A beatiful little bee that shows its "appreciation" to this lovely road scraper! :)
I think it was a wasp. Honey bees are necessary, Wasps however are not. Run it over.
I worked for a short while with earthmoving equipment in the mid-80s. We were raising the earth wall of a tailings dam at a coal mine. There were D9L dozers ripping the borrow pits and pushing the scrapers if need be. Then the scrapers would drag that loose fill and dump it on the top of the old dam wall. I drove a 769C dump truck with a water tank in the dump bucket wetting down the fill for it to be laser leveled by graders and vibe rolled to specific compaction parameters. Great fun.
The belly is called a CAN
The nose hook is called a BAIL. Awesome model👍
Thanks for kickin another episode out.
Looking forward to catching you Sunday.
The little bee on the machine was cool he was just chillin hanging out
That is one of the sweetest things I have seen in RC great job.
I could imagine the stuff you could build if you had one of those giant indoor sandboxes and we all are a kid at heart🔥🔥🔥🔥
That must be an amazing feeling. Like the first day you've ever put your hands on an RC all over again. After being into RC for so many years and doing it all. Now you have a new chapter to dive into
I took my Huina 1580 and 1583 on a business trip and let my niece and nephew, 3&5, play. It was fun to turn the kids on to RC. Some day I will get them each a truck. Plus digging in the sandbox was sweet. My niece was the Forman. Haha
I love your channels and adventures. I operate most of this equipment on a daily basis at my job. As for loading the scraper, open your apron door more and adjust it as needed during loading. Your cutting edges should just be down touching whatever material you are loading. As the scraper goes forward, it will dig slightly deeper as it goes. When offloading, you can use the ejector to push it forward some before opening your apron door. That way it has pressure already in it as you open the door to dump. Also a quick note, when loading or unloading, it is best to have your rear wheels in somewhat of a level surface to begin with. If not, your scraper bowl will rock side to side just as your back wheels do and will cut or dump your load in the same pattern.
Wow wow wow...how cool was that when the dozer hooked up and the whole unit worked as one . Wicked as. That really is the coolest rc you have love the scraper.
i love how you put the big ole boy skater on the blue truck. got my heart pumpin
I need this finished by Fri. HA HA Great playing
this was what i was dreaming of when i was a little boy pushing the tonka's around my sand pile. keep up the great content sir!
This is exactly what I remember doing also!! What a neat experience now , in the future.
The wife is food shopping and the husband is playing in the sandbox, Awesome!! Every man's dream! Lol
Friday night, watching my favorite TH-cam channel and my favorite TV show, gold rush 😀 👌 ❤
That cab over twin steer looks sick i wish they were still around
You have some amazing trucks!! Thanks for sharing!!
So glad you still have that twin steer, dude. Of all the RC stuff you have, that truck is my favorite, by far. I want a 1/14 Peterbilt 362 twin steer so bad.
I have always loved scrapers!! Ever since I was a kid !!!!
Grocery shopping can be an adventure all on its own in Nova Scotia.
My other half didn't understand at first how a complete stranger in the grocery store will have a full blown super friendly 20 minute conversation with you.
Love RC ❤❤💚
“This dozer weighs 63lbs…..no shit!”
Wow!! That’s friggin’ nuts!
I would definitely take a month off work driving semi and come drive an RC semi and heavy equipment for sure!!! 35yr old and never to old for RC toys!!!
I could watch this all day....I love you heavy equipment...one day on day maybe
That pan is very cool! The imagination is the only limit. Cheers!
I love the ne driveway and all possibilities appears with it.
And the scrapper was a long long dream of 4c you have before I built it' that's awesome to see it pass 1ne let a flat ground
That's an apisode I like. No talk around food...work work work
That's awesome
Thank you Aaron giving dream to those that could be hurt and suffer in their life like you,me and many unknown. And offer dream to all those that just see that with stars in eyes
IM SO JELIOUS 😆 🤣!! ID SPEND HOURS ON THOSE Rc's looks like so much fun!!!!
Its been a busy few days so im just catching up. These machines always amaze me, the engineering, their ability to do a job somewhat comparable to the 1:1 machines and the attention to detail is simply stunning.
Living the dream sir. 👏👍
That was sick said omg out loud right before you did I love it as much as you do!!!!!
If u would be open the gate on the to scraper about a quarter to half way. It to would cut and fill the belly pan a lot easier, faster and fuller. Then to lay a Good strip u raise the gate A quarter. Then pick the belly up about an inch or 2 off the ground and as u drive forward u bring the back eject gate to the front to push the dirt out of the belly as u drive. It's much easier to show then explain. That was the first machine I started operating when I was about 15yrs old. I'm 45yrs now. And Ive been operating ay trackhoe some call it an excavator for a living for the past 20+ yrs. But have touched about every peace of equipment since the scraper. It just takes Seat time. But ur a smart dude, it wont be long and u will be a professional with it. Like everything else we touch. Cool video and rigs. Keep the vids coming 👍
Really loved this episode - exiting to see the whole fleet coming together! 😃
Love the sound of that roller going full steam
The front door on your scraper is called a skirts. When you scoop the dirt or sand you're going to need to open that thing up 2 to 3 in, Or you're going to have a hard time loading your dirt or sand. When you dump the dirt you need to open it all the way. Otherwise it will hold back a lot of the dirt that's supposed to be coming out that's why you get those hit-and-miss spots . Always keep the scraper moving when you are scraping or dumping dirt. I operated heavy equipment for 36 years. I used to like operating the scrapers and the bulldozers. I have operated little bit of all of it cuz you kind of had to. And yes it's going to take some practice. But keep working at it and practicing you will get it. Nice equipment you have there. 😀👍
Skirt, Apron, Gate, - it depends on where your from, and thats just english
that is awesome all your toys are thank you for sharing them with us
These are so cool. That scraper with all the functions working is fantastic! Awesome content!!!
The hook at the front is more for hooking to another scraper. They prefer the dozer push from the back.
There is a great video of these working at a landfill showing how they are used!
Thanks for the awesome content!
You have the best toys! Thanks for what you do
MeDiC!!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That was a joy to watch, Aaron! Great to see the extra force which tracks AND 4wd provide. Cheers!
Raise the gate more and that pan will be full! This is fun to watch
Mans a rc legend. My favorite is we both smoke a lot of dope man haha keep up the vibes og! 🙏🏼💯
You could watch a couple of videos on how to load /unload an open bowl scraper.
Yours looks great by the way 👍👍
Thanks for the video we're really glad you started sharing with us again.
Scraper is really cool. Would be easier to push w dozer. The "front door" is called the apron. Would be fun to use this machine.
I'm so very very jealous....... That new equipment and driveway are awesome!
Miss You Rookie!! You would be SO GOOD at Loading Kings *UN LIMITED*
@@TheRealRCSparks That sounds like something I will watch!! and wish I was playing lol
That bee just chilling on the side of the scrapper lol
Wow absolutely amazing and gorgeous set up.
Man I just rewatched Rc adventures TTC 2011 I miss the old intro always hyped me up alot just because of the countdown
I've enjoyed watching you guys work hard with you smaller equipment rather than saying rc toys because there much more than toys in my eyes there pieces of machinery as well as a piece of art if I could afford to buy my self one I would with out hesitation
I can't wait to see more of that scraper
You had the '' apron'' closed , open it up ohh 3/4" to an inch to allow the material to be forced into the "" bowl"" to get loaded up. As it loads up & then you start getting traction because of the wheight of the material.
Very nice truck 😍 looks even better loaded
It's all very nice 👌
Now this is the best way to play with yourself. 😉🤣😂🙂
On those lowboy trailers, the real ones have flip out arms down each side that you put 2x8 oak boards to extend the width of your trailer when your tracks hang over like that. You also need to get some wide load signs on that rig and trailer and if it's way over weight and size, you need an escort car,lol.
I watched every one of your Loading Kings. So much fun to watch 🤩
Love the channel i operated one of these scraper buggies i was in a 627 dual engine not to be that guy but i know you like to be as real as possible so the "belly" is called the bowl the part that lifts up at the front of the bowl is called the apron and the ejector you got right. The "hook" on the front is called a vail.. And the dozer should be pushing the scraper buggies love the content and now this is my favorite heo vehicle you own . great to hear about your health keep ip the great work
Best Entertainment on You Tube.... Love IT!!
That scraper is one good looking machine.
To fricken awsome.love it. I had to save this video for Sunday morning You are my Sunday morning go to. been wake n baking with you for years. And a big thank you for that.👍✌
I love these kind of comments, and I work to make sure there is always something for you every Sunday. Thank you for sharing!
Ooh, i love that scraper dude!🔥
Property looks fantastic..I think playing on the sand is a great start to build a crawler course..lol.
Oh man, Im all about the natural courses right now.. i dont need to build anything around here..
I’d play in the sandbox with those…lol. That’s so sick brother!
That is really cool I used to run a pan scraper in the US ARMY. We would get push by the Dozer. You should try that that way. Keep up the good work you figure it out.
I can say i genuinely love these videos. I just need to save up my money so i can aford one. I have been wanting to build an rc corse with rc construction vehicles. Keep the videos coming out. Really enjoy ypur content
You have all the best toys! I would give my kingdom just to build one of the all-metal track-hoes... I used to be a heavy equipment operator doing final grade work. We used a D-58 Komatsu dozer to level the area, a pan (scraper) to raise/lower the grade level and the roller to smooth it out. Keep up the good work, your fans are definitely watching!
That's awesome seeing how it works I thought the door had to be open more to fill but seeing it in action makes sense haveing it open a little bit to fill it up. Love seeing it in action
I dont comment alot but man ur one lucky guy. I dream of that kind of rc equipment so yes I'm jeoulous for sure!
very cool, i love that bulldozer so much, looks so real
The bee seem to like the Motor Scrapper and enjoys your show as well.
Sir, I love to watch your videos. Your posting videos like this in the same way you are helping me because it help me create my DIY RC trucks from cardboard based on the model you are presenting. Thank you Sir...I'll continue to watch your videos every time you posted new and i am hopeful to make a cardboard version of it. With that we are helping each others growth. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.. I AM NEW TH-cam ASPIRANT...
Right on, that sounds SUPER COOL! Good creativity.. thanks for sharing
@@TheRealRCSparks Thank you for the comment...really appreciated..
7:19 I love that honey bee just stopping by to chill out on your scraper.
I actually used to run a 1970s terex ts14 belly dumb scraper so I found this video awesome
That earthmover is the BOMB ! Very cool to watch these beauties at work .
Brings me back to my Tonka days in the sand box. Had my own loading wars many years ago! Looks like your having a great time! Cheers buddy!
Super cool! Fun times in the sandbox for adults. Love the realism of it all. Looked so cool loaded up on your rig as well.
I'm glad I can live financially vicariously through you. These are awesome
Right on time 🔥
Super cool can't wait to see more. Shout out from Crowsnest Pass AB
Beautiful rigs & construction equipment medic
To truly admire the hobby doesn’t mean just bashing and blasting but enjoying the mechanics of the RCs… these heavy duty RCs aren’t built for speed but it’s enjoyable to watch because of the real scale look … I mean they operate like the real thing… I work out in the pipeline industry and it’s kinda hypnotizing watching the large scale excavators at work… And to see these RC heavy equipment machines in action puts the icing on the cake 👍👍👍
This commenter understands 100% why I love this section of the hobby
This is pretty unbelievable. Those vehicles are awesome!
I have looked high and low for a scraper like that! What a beauty!
That’s so awesome !!! Thank you!!!
That bee was the foreman making sure the job was being done properly
Love it man!!! All on a big wish of RC fun I'd love to have in my life.
What a great piece of equipment! That is a welcome addition to a mine site!
Awesome scraper it’s working well.
Wow a complicated machine to run, but hell fun learning......SUPER COOL
You got awesome💥 equipment there brother🌟👍👊
Always enjoy your stuff. I would recommend opening the mouth of scraper completely for loading and unloading. Use hieght of belly for thickness. If you haven't got someone to push or pull with dozer that is.
I loved your video! I was a heavy equipment operator for 11 years and would have enjoyed being there working with you!
You can actually grade with a scraper really well with belly door closed and slowly knocking down all the high spots and every pass lowering the belly pan a little after each pass
10 seconds in and I already love it. Love the semis man!!
