I know 3 guys who have this machine and myself, all of us had to seal some oil leackage after first use as it gets warm for the first time. But great machine. We moved about 1000kg of dirt yesterday with only 1 of those loaders and a bunch of dumpers at a event. They are so capable.
@@curtisck813 Just loose screws. Propably losened from long transport to europe and vibrations. One guy had scres on the cylinder lid to tighten, i had to tighten the screws at the oil cooler lid. And my manometer was broken form the start and leaked. That was like a 3$ replacement. I think all hydraulic toys in1:14 if not built by yourself have this issues that you got to tighten the screws at some point. The only one i didnt have to yet is the dozer i build myself and made sure the screws are tightened. On my excavator i almost lost half the screws on the Track motor lid. After tightening it was fine since.
@phoenixsui ohhhh...ok...I had those same issues with my 793 mining dump truck... Not the issues that this guy is having with gears grinding, and I read u have to watch the main driveshaft..and keep everything oiled and lubed I sure appreciate the immediate response because I'm seriously thinking about getting one...the guy on this page said to go with a XD front loader...I'll look it up
Same here,for the same reasons, it's size,height and length is what I'm looking for to pair it with my big ass mining dump truck, but the kabolite 988 looks like a Cat 992-4,minus the 1 exhaust stack,that's why I want one @@phoenixsui
Thanks for posting this because for the price...it shouldn't be experiencing nothing...gave me something to think about before buying one Thank you..I'm getting mine from RcToucan, hopefully I won't have those issues
Good morning, just received my Kabolite last week, love it!!! Haven't experienced the issues u had except one,I noticed a sort of delay when going in reverse and when adding hydraulic fluid, the 1/8 plug underneath it started leaking, put Teflon tape on it to slow it down but Toucan hobby sent me a pic of the o ring that would stop it...did u experienced this and did u fix the going in reverse problem??
On the right side of the machine theres a box under that ladder thats where the esc is open it and pull out the jumper. Then there won't be a dely in going into reverse. I have a vedio explaining this on my channel
Wowww..ok...thank u so much...I'll check it out on your video, didn't watch it all....did your oil tank leak on the bottom?? Mine do...gotta find a certain type of o ring, do it matter what type of hydraulic fluid u use?@yellowironcowboyrccon7484
hello for your bucket pine try taking the paint out off holes it might be thick enouf the just hold pines up and thats why im not shure about spending all that money and have trouble right off not good at the radio stuff so i would be lost and paying for help still want them tho realy cool
Great solution. Yep I'm pay attention to what yall by vs my cheap Chinese stuff . That dt and loader working less than hunia stuff😂 I d be pissed too. Hopefully you guys will get the gremlins out
Who call them that? I mean, legit question, are there reviews or forum where there general discontent for these machines? I was interested in the K988 myself but would not want to buy crappy stuff..

@@curtisck813 Propably both siimilar in quality. I qwent with the 988 because of more stability. Longer and more weight.

Thanks for posting this!
Nice job D !!! When it was grinding, no gears were hurt? You'll figure out the bucket...Cool loader !!
Sand the bucket where the quick release piston engages I had to on mine ,it's the paint stoping it.
Ohhhh...ok...thank you,I really appreciate that, means alot because I want one

No it won't even ingage with the bucket off.
@@yellowironcowboyrccon7484 mabe adjust the mixing process for the actuators 🤔

Which scale model was this, who's the retailer?
1/14 scale K988 loader
I bought it from toucan hobby. It's a Kabolite model
They don't call them crapolite for no reason.

@@nicolazanettifb rc excavator groups. They have bad quality compared to other brands.
I bought my decals from a different vendor.
From who?
