If you are experienced in soldering, simple remove the battery compartment and solder 2 wires with a AA battery holder to the PU PCB. Instead of AA batteries, use 2 protected 14500 cells and you are good to go. It uses less space and gives a great runtime.

My feeling says pretty much the same.

Are there any signs of life? In Germany, most of the track pieces are out of stock for quite a while. Desperately need a pack of R56

Looking at the Excavator, is there a new piece (connector/axle) within the hydraulic cylinders?

Thanks again! .. as promised, some more pictures of the truck, showing all functions. The red round 1 by 1 indicates the steering function

Thanks for the positive feedback! This loader went through some significant build iterations and with every time it stepped up by its class and size ;) Initially my intention was, to load a modification of the Dig N Dump set with it. But as the loader is finished I realized, that a one bucket fill situation is not the most efficient in this business. So I made something bigger, probably 100 metric Tons loading class Just a sneak peek, I will post some more detailled pictures within this week. Focus was again, playability and functionality, so it has stearing and it can dump ( a lot :D)

Hello, since I gathered a lot of ideas for this loader within this community, I want to share the outcome with you. In preparation for the upcoming excavator set, I created a mining style loader. It is more or less a Cat 992k, taking bucket and wheel size in consideration. The build is mainly focused on playability (no loose parts) and kind of full loader functionality.

Tested Railmodeller for Mac, partly satisfied.
