Bob your videos are first class.
I'm a viewer that I see often.
Thank you for the good information and detailed explanation.
Man I love this channel. I didn’t even know I wanted an rc semi truck or construction equipment. Until now.
@Pedro Coleman pro tip: fall on scissors
Well done, thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah...operators are real picky on their control patterns. 😊 Great job and thanks.
good video
Nice video.
Great video Bob. That’s a quality model. Love your in depth explanations. Keep them coming. Looking forward to the next one. 👍🏼
Amazing machine. Bob is incredible.
Great video, Bob. I'm sure this will help out many people who are new to the construction & equipment side of the RC hobby!
That is very cool to see.love how you showed us how to d a mix if we want to.thanks for that.
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.
Almost all excavators now use the Cat layout for the controls, the only real exception is Hitachi.
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.
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. 👍
Awesome Bob very impressed with the video
Very interesting!
good work
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!
I have a question in regards to the mixing. As they 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?
@@rcrelatedstuff6092 the mix is set up for the pump not to be running continuously. as soon as you move your stick on the transmitter it will then turn on the pump 100%. there is a slight delay in the beginning of the movement only because the pump is building its pressure. As long as the sticks on transmitter are in motion the pump will be at 100% if there is a stop in sticks the pump shuts off and repeats action when movement it made again on sticks.
Great video Bob. Can’t wait to see the Dozzer 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
Me too!
Another great vid bob thanks :)
Great dig video man!
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.
Glad to see more videos coming out Bob. Makes the cold winter pass by fast👍🏼 can’t wait to see the dozer video
Nice I have the rc4wd bulldozer and the 870k wheel loader amazing machinery. They both work very well.
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.
They are nice and not cheap but still cheaper then Lesu i believe. Great video glad to see the brace off your thumb.
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!
Awesome❤👍👊😍🔥
Nice bro
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.
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.
how much to excavators?
“Forward boom” is usually known as the ‘stick’ and the “rear boom” as just the ‘boom’.
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!!!
Hi; you can change the stick modes faster by go to , system stick mode ,use number 4mode!
Great video Bob :)
I'm picking mine up this weekend: I shall follow your footsteps :)
You will not be disappointed!
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Did you get a specific light kit or did you make it yourself?
@@CRAWLERSDEN What Justin did you get one of these? Dang buddy you beat me to it lol This is my next big ticket item I had to get my other builds off the bench first
@@thatsmyrc I did but I wasn't able to pick it up due to COVID 😅.
@@CRAWLERSDEN dang so now what did it get sent back? This is a great video for the 360L I’m drooling and want to order now
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.
i have an earth digger from RC4WD and i love it but i never taken it apart love the video
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.
Thanks for the insight 👍
Sub'd✌️
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.
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 🙏🏻
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...
Thanks for info but with oil do you use 22 32 or 46?
Any possibility of a review on the rc4wd Wheel loader?
FYI..the two booms have names..the dipper and stick. Dipper is closest to cab, stick has bucket attached
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!!!
The Beier sound does not require any mixes so it is working out great. That video will be up soon. The Dozer is a few weeks off but I am really looking forward to that one also!
Could you not have achieved the same result by changing the "Sticks Mode" Mode 2 in the Tx?
Rc4wd has a light kit made for this excavator.
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!
Actually just found that the top of Oil Tank lifts right off and slew cab to get to screws.
Ciao ti volevo chiedere se percaso sai dove aquistare i ricambi per la escavatrice 360L
When you added the oil to the system, did you have to bleed the air out?
No, self bleeding.
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
On this version the tracks are one speed but seemed to work ok. This has a pressure valve to regulate the pressure. I had one of the valves fail on a dozer and drove me nuts trying to figure it out. Ordered some new better pressure valves on Ali Express and fixed it. More PL18 EV and excavator vides coming soon.,
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Are there ESC's for each track like with the slew motor? It would be odd but maybe they are missing for some reason? Thanks..Tom
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Oh maybe you mean variable but only one speed slow to max. Not two speeds like the wheel loader. Also how often do you change the oil? Looking forward to more videos.
What ronote control it s this
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?
There is always a small amount of lag because of the pump motor start up time when using the mixing. Probably will always be best to turn the pump on when digging. I do not have any experience with the 4200xl but sure like the 360L!
@@HobbyconceptsLLC Thank you 👍
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.
So you can just flip the right to left controls with Stick mode in systems menu? That would set it up like a lot of John Deere machines with dipper and bucket on right stick.
@@thomasosika5056 yes, on the FS-i6S radio, you can change stick mode, 1 through 4. without actually moving any of the plugs on the receiver, it just maps them differently for channel 1-4 on the radio. So you can switch to standard or JD controls. It is very easy to switch, test it, and switch to next, test it, etc... see which you like best.
@@jleverington That is great..I would like to switch it up between JD and CAT nice to just be able to on radio rather than switch servo plugs. Thanks! On another note..I notice the new PL 18 being used for Construction RC stuff. Do you think there is any advantage with an excavator over stock radio? Sticks seem quite high also..but maybe comfortable.
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%
I am going to continue to refine it. Actually quite happy that it worked!
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.
Good thought but I checked it and was correct. Probably a bad pot inside but I don't want to open it up to check since it is brand new.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC go ahead and crack it open 8-)
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
How much do those cost?
What did you use for a driver figure?
I use the Tamiya 1/14 Truck Driver figure. Fits great. hobbyconcepts.net/products/1-14-rc-tractor-truck-driver-figure?_pos=1&_sid=756538965&_ss=r
The left joystick , push it up & runs the ' stick / croud ' out
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 .
Try Ali Express
Try ian and the team at aussie rc semi trucks and trailers.its where i get alot of my semi truck stuff from and he is in queensland.
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.
Hey Bob what do feel the biggest battery you could fit? 6500mah or smaller.
It is a tight fit for the battery so I put in as big as would fit.
You can also hook up via a remote wire; a larger car type 12 volt battery...works just fine and runs for a long long time.
CAT controls.
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..
I don't do eBay anymore just my own website hobbyconcepts.net
@@HobbyconceptsLLC I totally get the quitting the eBay seller thing. I have too as far as selling builds etc. The fees and now taxes thing are a bit hard too swallow. I’ll check your site out 👍🏼
Is this made by JD? As many of their other big trucks
Yes it is.
Hi, I have oil coming out of the muffler. Can you tell me why?
The muffler is the vent for the oil tank. If the tank is overfull or you tip the machine on it's side oil will come out. I put a balloon on the vent when I tip on the side.
how much oil should be in the tank, I'll tell you about half of it
@@HobbyconceptsLLCOil also comes out from starboard
Where do you buy this
RC4WD
PANASONIC ✔️ DIMENSSSOES ESKAWADORA
Hi I was wondering if rc4wd store is a good place to put my money on
I have been happy with the service from RC4WD. Shipping was prompt and they kept us well informed with notifications. I will certainly purchase from them again.
hi ,how much excavators?
Check with RC4WD
Think all you had to do was change the stick mode. To M3

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.
Sorry, Should have watched to the end before commenting. Ha Ha
