FYI, real backhoes also have a locking mechanism, normally two or three, to lock the rear arm in position. One for boom lift, like you showed, one for boom slew and if applicable, one for stick telescope. Also, the back controls are setup as ISO standard controls, any real backhoe / excavator can grab that remote and know how to use it. That bucket is also known as a 4in1 bucket. It has three cutting edges plus the grab function. The part that moves can dig "normally", or use the inside cutting edge to backblade. The fixed part of the bucket can be used to grade moving forwards. In addition to grabbing logs and rocks, you can pick up dirt piles like with a grapple bucket and you can hold tools in the bucket. Specifically a smudge / levelling frame, which is a large rectangular frame with a couple of tabs for the bucket to grab a hold of, then you can level and grade out loose materials to really finish a jobsite. IRL, those forks are the loudest and most annoying thing. They just rattle and rattle no matter what you do.
Tellement un beau vidéo très heureux de voir Lesu depuis que j’ai commencé il y a 2 ans a faire des camions Tamiya dans le but d’avoir un Low Boy et une pelle hydraulique je ne me décidais pas à commander chez Toucan de peur de pas comprendre une radio Paladin mais vos explications sont très clair même si je ne parle pas anglais. Merci
lol love how the seat turns around, it just needs a driver figure to finnish it off nicely! Ok so I wrote this just before you said that you had a Tamiya driver figure.....
I've been looking at that exact model since they came out a while back and wow is it awesome. Congrats Bob. What a model. I've also been looking at there concrete truck add on. It would be so awesome on the back of a day cab king hauler.
Its cool watching some see and witness this stuff for the first time. But ur in for a treat. I ran 1:1 heavy equipment for over 20yrs. But ur in for a treat. But u really need to go check those channels out. Because this u have is a pretty old model. And those r called outriggers not drop down whatever u said.
Didn’t see it in the video yet. But I think those quality control things in the bag are the license plates since some countries require them on tractors like that.
You can fix the steering in the menu. The model is magnificent I have a hard time finding a dumper to go with it that is just a nice. Mabey THS SEIPT VOLVO A40F. Oh I got mine from Oliver at Toucan Hobby as well. If you lose the model settings, he will send you the import for the model. If you forget to turn off the pump when turning to the excavator, it will mess with the programing. Using a series of taps on the right stick, while steering seems to really do the trick just gently tapping it from the left or right and then of course, going into the system and changing. The rate & expo.
"If you lose the model settings, he will send you the import for the model." That's good but I can't understand why they don't include it with the model, does he send it on a memory card and is it easy to import into the radio?
Saw this while shopping for my first hydraulic model but couldn't quite talk my wife into letting me get it this time (the cost was a hard NO this year.😞) Watching your video review of it just makes me want one even more! Now I just need to work on convincing my wife for next year... Looking forward to your next video on the model! Also appreciated the comparison between the PL18EV and the PL18EV Lite, had been planning on getting the standard model but when I saw the Lite version I wasn't sure if it was worth it. Seeing you compare the two is making me think the Lite version just might be worth getting to switch a couple of models over to (you can find the Lite version for sale out there)
I use to be the same re partner not wanting me to spend such an amount on a "toy" as she would say I tried saying it is a teaching aid but it was not until I "retired" that I could spend this sort of money on "toy's" this is my 6th lesu hydraulic construction model, but a word of warning if you buy the version with receiver's fitted but no transmitter you will find it hard to get a list of channels and settings that you need to set up the 17 channels used on this model, I am still trying to get a copy of the transmitter model file which has everything in it.
@@HobbyconceptsLLC great to hear from you bob. thanks for your reply. I'm sure you will catch up soon. we are all looking forward to your next video as always. keep up the top work. take care friend. kind regards sambo
Have u not ever watched RC Sparks? Especially his older video on RUclips. With RUclips Gold. Or loading wars, then loadibg kings? Super cool shows with RC equipment. Or his other show RC Adventure? Where he builds them all from kits. Hes been making RC content on RUclips since 2009
In the UK, it use to be law that the backhoe has a mechanical locking mechanism to prevent it from swinging around when a public road. Not sure if it is still law as it is many years since I was working with them.
I didn't get any tools from Toucan Hobby then must have kept them when they took out the fluid from the factory. I really wish they would have gave me my tools kind of a nice touch considering the price...
The locking mechanism on the rear bucket is not because it releases the pressure of the Hydraulics and will slowly fall, it's there to lock the arm in place when you are transporting it, and to keep the weight off of the hydraulic Pistons, which all real backhoes have. I'm a heavy equipment operator, I operate backhoes, skid steers and excavators, as well as any other kinds of equipment you can imagine, the only thing I haven't operated is a crane, but that's what that locking mechanism is for.
Hi Bob first off many thanks for all of the work you put into this channel, I have a question or request, can you put the transmitter model files into the comment section, I have just bought one of these but i ended up with the model that comes without a transmitter it has the receivers fitted but i need a copy of the settings file so i can get away with just installing the model file. thanks a lot.
This is amazing. What’s ur thoughts since? Do u think they will ever bring out a rear arm that extends the bucket like the real thing option ? So funny that as amazing this model is everyone comments on the swivel chair 😂
Haha you give FLYSKY to much credit the genius is in LESUS valve the switch doesn’t change a model it’s the same model but LESU uses a switching valve to send oil to other side of the valve. So basically each valve section can do 2 different functions just depends on which way you have oil flow. Don’t worry there still isn’t a radio that can switch between models with a toggle
Hi Bob love your review of the backhoe it looks amazing, also to let you know I just received a couple of the Tamiya wireless light systems for my trailers and I think they are amazing as well, but if no for you it would be hard to work out how it all works. One thing a did find for myself and wondering what the extra plus worth servo wiring were for? Well I figured it out, if you want more lights etc you can daisy chin them and the will extend the distant as well as more lights should you need them. So again thank you for your reviews they are great to watch and you explain thing well.
So if I bought this, could I then use that FlySky to control other models too so to save buying an extra radio for other models or is it locked to the excavator?
it seems that everything powered by hydraulic has a sudden increase in power ... is that from mixing ? pump ? valves ?... looks like it would be very dificult to use . I ve seen a few reviews and all have the same behaviour ....
The pump works two ways. One way it is mixed on the radio so when you move the control the pump turns on and then turns off when you stop moving that feature. The other way is to turn on the pump with the knob and then the pump runs all the time. Has more power and faster response that way.
Hey Bob I'm not sure if you'll see this or remember me but I'm the twelve year old on your other video so if you see this like to ask a question and give you an update. I got enough money saved so I've ordered the tamiya grand hauler black edition off your website! And me and my dad were on the website and he pointed out that if I were to return the truck then I would send it to Meridian Idaho so if you live there than that's cool that you do because I live just below Sandpoint Idaho! Anyway should I Email a picture of when I get it or just when it's finished? Anyway keep up the good work! 👏
Very nice 🙂 But, this model is WAY out of my price range 😞 As a suggestion, don't say models when switching from front to back. I'ld call it switching modes. Front mode or back mode. Makes more sense that way. Just my $.02 worth 🙂
@Neal C. Wow! But the workmanship on it is phenomenal love it hopefully soon l will buy on but it's soo difficult there are so many types that l love especially the cat dozens but thanks for replying and l'm sorry for the late reply ✌🏼
Beautiful model, sad its 1/12 even everywhere lesu telling us its 1/14... Dont know why the chinese companies cannot build 1/14 , and/or give us correct size in descriptions....
@Richard Lintermoot Sure would be nice to have one, but i dunno if I could justify the price😬😬😬😬😬! I would also like to have a front end loader, bulldozer, & trackhoe, but im sure those ones are twice as much. . . . .🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. . . . I have no idea🤷🤷🤷
Another thing, they aren't called Landing legs, they are called stabilizers. Lol. I take it you don't know much about backhoes and heavy equipment, do you?
I know folks who pay about $1,000 to go to a football game between tickets, parking and a beer. Then their team loses and what have they got to show for it?? With scale modeling I get way more enjoyment per hour than any other hobby and and the end of the day I still have beautiful models to show for it. Plus someday my wife can sell them on eBay!! So cheaper than football games, golf or a million other things we can do :-)

Awesome even the chair spins around
And I felt like a genius getting a steering wheel and stick shift to work
@@NutjobGTO 🤣🤣🤣
Someone in my local RC club has just got 1 of these. Its amazing 👍 I love the fact the seat rotates when you switch between models 👌
Congrats Bob. I have a number of Lesu machines as well as a Kabolite 988K wheel loader
Great video, as a back hoe operator for forty five years I must say the detail is amazing,I only wish I could afford to buy one, thankyou.
I just looked it up lol I can't either! $3,800 geez

If the packaging is any indication of the quality of the product, I'm impressed.
I like the way the steering stays where you put it

Wow!
Works better than real thing.
The drivers chair moved around to the back when you switched to bucket control. That is bad assery right there.
That’s an awesome rig, LESU doesn’t mess around that’s for sure, their kits are amazing too if you have a bazillion hours to put it together🤣
Bazillion.
Omggg this the coolest r/c ever. Wow super impressed. Need it now lol

I did have a lot of cool stuff though!

Nice machine, but I definetely change drive/steering on left stick and front loader on right. That mixed controls seems odd.
I have the Lasu tracked bobcat and i love it
u should put together another tractor, lowbed combo for this backhoe
Thanks for a good video as always 😊 would be really interested to watch a follow up video with pros and cons and what adjustments you’ve done (if any)

Hi Bob, sorry about the typo I meant to say Hi not Ho.
Hi Bob, being you already have a great radio with I presume many model memories why do you get another radio?
Comes with the radio.
@@HobbyconceptsLLCl kkow nothing about these kits, so that was a simpl e choice then
You should build yourself a turntable to demo models, would save all the lifting and turning.
So if I bought this, could I then use that FlySky to control other models too so to save buying an extra radio for other models or is it locked to the excavator?
That is correct, the radio will handle many models.
