This is my new Bagger, Volvo EC460B. Like my previous Volvo EC460, it is based on Herpa Liebherr 954 with a drivers cabin from Motorart. The digging is still controlled by fishing lines, but two of the motors are now placed inside the arm, saving a lot of space inside the excavator. I first tried a motor from Lemo-Solar for the tracks, but it was quite slow (and a bit expensive) so I use the good old Gizmo motors again.

The Lipo is 100 mAh and the Rx is Deltang Rx43d-4 with a relay to switch between digging and crawling.

Hi Janne

nice excavator. I see that you had inside the gears into the boom. Cool!

Please, why do you only use a 100 lipo? In my excavator have alltime a 180 lipo inside.

To time I'm create my seventh excavator.

Hi Alexander

Seven excavators, that's a great job!

I think 100 mAh is enough, and there was not space for a bigger one. This Volvo is smaller, lower than the Liebherr 954.

Actually, I got the idea to place motors inside the boom from Freerider81. But I am using lines instead, because it was easier to build.

New homemade transmitter, and some fun lifting small boxes:

Hello,

Very nice.
Now you have to built a real "playground" ;-)
