Number of days accident free “1”. Replacing Volvo A40G dump truck driver/4200xl excavator near miss

Replaced Jerry the articulating dump truck driver with a new guy. The excavator has a near miss with the hill slumping off as I get to close to the edge. But overall good day 1 accident free!
We are making great progress on getting that pile cleared and screened. I’m excited to get the retaining wall built and finish the grading. It’s coming along quicker than I expected. This rc construction equipment is much more capable than I anticipated and that’s a good thing!!!

    Hey another great video. You helped me deduce my 4200xl where it was my valve block off index with servos. I noticed you have the 360l bucket which quick connect did you have to use. Was it the rc4wd 4200 quick connect.

    It’s the same bucket and quick connect that you can get on RC4WD for the 360L.

    I know right?! Huina really needs to step up their game in the sound department.

    your excavator is weak she not strong enough try open the pressure to 24 bar don't open the pressure full open until not destroyed the hydraulic hoses great video buddy 👍

    No it’s not weak it’s super light(the excavator). I have the hydraulic pressure turned down because it is so frustrating when it hooks up and drags the machine around. So I tuned It to the weight of the machine. I hate having to constantly reposition that’s why it appears weak. It has the power to pull itself right off the hill in this video but that’s not fun.

    Why wouldn’t you make a solid counter weight made out of steel. Than put that ugly led weight on the bum. Scale models mate come on

    Access to materials man. The led weight is what I have on hand and is what worked so I could use those new attachments. I’m not a machinist either but it’s not permanent. The plan is to make it better looking in the near future. Probably a winter project. It’s allot like the temporary wood structure for the screener. Not meant to be permanent but during POC it’s about making sure it operates the way you want before building it out of expensive materials and then figuring out you need to change something. You will see allot of changes as things continue to evolve on this construction site. I appreciate your passion for scale detail though! It drives me nuts every time I look at it too but having the machine operational is more important to me at this time. Keep it up though cause I need the reminders to get this kind of stuff resolved!👍

    Yeah some things you just don’t do mate , drilling into a counter weight is one of them.
