NERC Rock Crawler Track at Deeside Steam & Vintage Rally
I've been a bit busy this year so haven't had much time to put out videos, but managed to get a little time today out at the Deeside Steam & Vintage Rally.
I'm part of a local group, NERC ( north east RC ), and we attend local events promoting the hobby / the group while rasing money for charity by letting use our collection of FTX Kanyons around our homemade track

DIY Waterproof Receivers
Просмотров 1719 месяцев назад
I've picked up some cheap receivers and going to waterproof them myself. It didn't cost much, about £10 for the coating and about £20 for 4 receivers for my dumbo setup. It would have cost me £30 for the waterproof receiver that goes with my Absima transmitter. So cost wise it makes it £7.50 for each of the receivers i waterproof myself :) Like and subscribe for more RC action :) ruclips.net/us...

Testing Huina 580 Home Made Bucket And Claw & Huina 583 Weight Mod
I just love the way your cat sat by watching it all lol. I wonder was she thinking to herself, "What is my human doing now? Playing with those little yellow things again 🙄. Perhaps its best I dont tell him I pooped there yesterday". 😝🤣🤣🤣🤣
That claw is a game changer for sure. I wonder if my 1592 will be able to handle it though cos your 1580 seems to be working hard enough to pull it through that stuff. Fortunately, I ordered a 1593 this morning. Things just got serious lol 🤣
lol, its a slippery slope, i just wish i had more time and money to put into the hobby. i'd love to have a full set of hydralic rc's , but very much out of my price range
@Granite-City-RC it's definitely a slippery slope alright. So far I've got a 1535 excavator that I didn't like the controls on so I got the 1592 but that's too weak and now I have the 1593 on the way. I should have bought that first. I should also have done the research before the buying, not the other way round 🤣.
Cool upgrade. I might do it to my 1592 but the one issue that sticks out to me is this. If you have infinite rotation, then you must have some issue with the wiring for the track motors getting twisted if you go too far either left or right or am I correct? I would love to know this if you can explain it to me cos I would be worried that some of these wires would get pulled off the board etc if I didnt even out the amount of times I went left or right to compensate. Thanks for the cool video. IDB.
in normal operation its not something to worry about that ive noticed, i mean if you spend an hour rotating only left then you might have issues, but i've not had any problems so far and i dont keep count of how many times ive rotated
Just got one, and I will be upgrading my battery very soon as well. Thank you for the video. Just going to use a smaller battery.
berry good outo mehine rc pawor hix the control 😅
The slash appears to be much faster with less chance of roll over. What is your opinion on the two? Looking to buy one for my 12 year old.
the granite is a monster truck so is going to roll more on corners. Depending on what surface your going to be running the cars on i'd consider the arrma senton or infraction
@@Granite-City-RC Thank you for the reply. I will check them out.
Very cool i just ordered a set because of this video said it will take a month to ship to America lol i am patiently waiting
well if you've got a month to wait there are a couple more things you can do like the battery and wheel mods ;) and maybe adding more weight at the back
@@Granite-City-RC I just weathered the paint and added a quick disconnect for the bucket and a driver figure definitely having fun working on it
Wich one would you recomend to buid for a begginner, this one or a tamiya grasshopper or the frog?
The tamiya would be a less frustrating build then this one. Tamiya have better instructions and less confusing to build if your not use to kits. If you want the Absima i'd just buy the RTR one then maybe change the motor for a brushless one
I’m honestly shocked a 500 dollar hobby grade rc doesn’t have channel reversing. Pretty standard on most car, truck, plane, heli rc’s.
its set up like a real excavator so i guess they thought people would be fine with how it works ?
Nice, good to know how to access the inner circuit board. Wanting to switch the boom wires so it lowers with down input on controller.
just make sure you swap the right ones lol
The boom motor ones are fairly straightforward, it’s the green plug. Works great and now reversed but need to figure out which wires are the limiter cutoffs so they work with the motor direction being reversed. No diagrams online unfortunately
I'm currently building this as a first build and it's hot garbage. Same missing screws, horrendous instructions. Thanks for the videos, though, I needed to know that it wasn't just me!
LOL it is a pain to build, i think by the end of the build videos i say don't bother getting the kit , just buy the RTR and swap out the motor and servo. i mean if somone gave me to option to eith build it again or take a drill to the head, pass me the drill i'll do it myself. I built a TRX4 sport a little while back and that was such a joy to build. Even tamiya are are great to build, i mean, they aren't great cars , and its hard finding where the screws are in the 20 packs or random hardware they give you, but you can build it without wanting to to pull you eyes out lol

Hello friend, how are you? I like your videos, I'm already subscribed to the channel. I have a Huina 583 wheel loader and I would like your opinion and guidance on upgrading it to make it better... engine, faster steering, proportional acceleration, etc. Could you help me with the purchase links or what should I buy? Thank you so much for seeing you Thank you, hug
there are 2 websites to look at for upgrades : magomhrc.com/en/ and wuehlbox.com/shop/en/ . I got a lot of parts from them and they normally work well
Thanks man
@@Granite-City-RC Good morning my friend I would like to know if there is a difference in the Huina 583 loader between the V3 and V4 models and how to differentiate this when purchasing
Good morning my friend I would like to know if there is a difference in the Huina 583 loader between the V3 and V4 models and how to differentiate this when purchasing? Thanks
@@vitororsatti5552 the will look exactly the same on the outside. I can only guess the most will be V4 now as this was a couple years back when i madethe video. But if it does not have proportional controls then it's V3. If it has proportional steering / acceleration then it is V4 . I don't know if it says on the box which version it is , but worth looking just in case .

Good job 🎉

Great build my friend
very interesting big massive thanks sorry to hear about what happened to your loader that's why i keep kids away from my huina excavator 1594 .. because things like this can happen lovely video
Thanks :) I'm no expert when i come to RC's which is why i take the time to do on screen invetigations, they might save some people time if they have the same issues. When doing demonstratins and interacting with the public you have to expect somethings going to go wrong lol. The 5 FTX kanyons the group has for the public to use ( for donations to charity ) normally come back with a lot of broken parts ;)
Great fun to paint a fantasy bodyshell!
yeah, it is :) although i did forget to rough up the outside of the body so the paint job didnt work 100% like it should have, but i did the same on my coyote body and it has worked correctly :)
@@Granite-City-RC Obviously you need to crash it down some rocks etc!!! Oh, and just as a by the way, Range Rovers have an aluminium body. 😉
Top bro
Hey I just started modding my huina, I want to do this but can’t find a good link to order the parts.😕
there are 2 places that i use mainly for upgrade parts : wuehlbox.com/shop/en/ and magomhrc.com/en/
How much for you to paint mine
LOL, 1 miiiiilion dollars ;)
nice job an mods too ur loader best i have seen so far..
Thanks buddy :) there's not much more i can do to it, 1 being painting, and another being cutting it in half to give it " suspension " ... but i'm not gonna do that lol
great video and work on the electronics
Thanks buddy :)
Good job friend😍
Thanks buddy
excelent model when you buy this kit ?
Always try a local hobby shop where you live first. I found it on offer from here : www.applianceelectronics.co.uk/viewproduct/14798/trx-4-sport-assembly-kit-4wd-no-electronics-trx82010-4 , but they are a UK shop so dont know where they will deliver to. ** lol only just noticed you said "when" i got this at christmas**
@@Granite-City-RC jajaja yes i have a error write, but your anwser is good. I don speak english, From Mexico. Tanks but address shop page
@@RCrawlerLeon prueba esta tienda en américa : www.amainhobbies.com/search?s=Traxxas%20TRX-4&fk=26_183&lg=fk26 , No conozco ninguna otra tienda que esté cerca de ti. traductor de google jajaja :)
great video and work on the transmission
Thanks buddy :)
Mine broke In was grading with a big bucket :(
that sucks dude :( They are easy enough to replace , i just dont like spending money on fixing broken things lol
@@Granite-City-RC yeah m2 I just modified my huina 1593. Im a new at rc so was very happy I succeeded. Than I was having fun in my dads garage loading dump trucks and grading sand... bucket broke. i have one more week holiday so I planned to have fun with them but guess not lol. But anyway it nice things break for me I forces me to become a bit more handy with rc. Luckily my dad know rc quit well so if I mess something up he can help. But just replacing a servo shouldnt be a problem i mean more like If i ever gonna do more complicated mods or builds Rc is fun but its not cheap :(
Btw i just did the dump mod on the 1583. I made the linkage from 50 mm to 60 mm Then it broke I used a large bucket. Is it to much for thi fellah?
@@John-nx6ue is always good to learn how to fix things lol. I like building kits so i know how to take it apart and fix it if needed. Its also why some of my videos take a while, i'm figureing out what i'm doing as im doing it lol I used my 580 and 583 to dig my garden pond, was fun but took ages to do ( videos are on my channel about 2 years back )
@@Granite-City-RC oke very cool. So you have a lot of hours in your huina 583 with the improved dump angle. But you used to normal bucket that comes with it. So I guess to big bucket to heavy for a stock huina 583 :( or it just broke idk
Go Magom from Spain
Hello Spain lol
Do you have a video on the fast turn motor on the 583?
yes , from a while back: ruclips.net/video/f6dMyPvBmhU/видео.html
@@Granite-City-RC thanks so did u have to grind some off the plastic for the wires not to rub. Thanks for your videos. I have a few also
@@1tonysgarage no i didn't need to grind bits for the wires i just trimed where the top screws in to get the magnets and screws at the right height
Lokasi Terbaik..
cool upload and build so far
Thnaks Buddy :)
Oooo new rc😊
yeah, got that at the start of the month and though i'd get it built for Xmas :) got another on for Xmas just starting to build that :)
great build so far brother
Thanks buddy, i do enjoy a build :)
Hola esta super bueno que escala es saludos
gracias
Hi, great vid! What size are the hexes?
Its the standard size that come with the huina loader, not 100% sure , but wanna say about 5-6mm if i remember right
What size are the allen bolts that hold the arm together? I have a broken flange on mine and I need to split it to weld the new flange on.
no allen bolts / hex hardware , its all cross head screws. also , not sure what the metal is but its not iron/steel
Top! Hello my friend, grateful for sharing your improvements.
No problem :) i thought it would be handy for people
Get some snow chains
nice work 👌 excellent control of the excavator dude 👍👍😀😀
Thanks buddy. If you spend 30+ hours digging a garden pond with it you'll soon get good with an excavator :)
cool video and awesome rc's
i do like the construction RC's :)
Hello. How can I buy this rc construction machine? can you send me a link
First try a local hobby shop. You might be able to fine it on banggood or aliexpress. I bought mine from www.modelsport.co.uk/
@@Granite-City-RC Thank you. Do you have a social media address where I can reach you? I have other questions to ask. The scoops on this site are not like the ones in the video.
@@servetkurtulgan3619 i only do youtube, so no other social media. As far as i know the V4 has the bucket like mine in the video, V3 has a slightly different bucket.
@@Granite-City-RC I understand. What I want to ask you is, where can I buy motorized pistons that provide excavator movements? Pistons that enable the excavator's head to open or the arm to move up and down
@@servetkurtulgan3619 try looking for rc spindle drive on banggood or aliexpress would be my guess, should be able to find electric motor ones , or hydraulic cylinders and pumps for rc's
great job! needed this video!
i needed to get them replaced after the first day of using the granite lol, but the front ones have lasted ok

Thanks , i'll have to get it out for a test soon :)
@@Granite-City-RC in the past I had some construction machines. But now is just scale crawlers of diferents sizes and brands. Probably in the future I'll buy one
@@Fortes_RC_Adv they are fun / relaxing to play with. If i had the money i'd get hydraulic ones.... but it's also hard to justify spending £10k on a digger, loader, dozer, and dump truck lol
Will a stock loader work with those batteries or will it fry my board 🤔
it should be fine. The stock batteries are a 2s lipo, and these are 2s lipo's just with a bigger charge
Do u hv link to product for upgrade?
www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005765057290.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.21ef1802KUvLod is where i got mine from , but have a look round aliexpress for either 1573 or 1583 parts you should find it :)
cool battery connector mod and can't wait to see how the rest turns out,have a great weekend
Cheers buddy, have a good one :)
