Very, very nice Grader, buddy ! But one question, did you buy it in spare parts in a store and then did the assembly, or did you create it all entirely and built it piece by piece ? Thanks for your answer !
Thank you Segomatu! This grader is my original design, which means I bought individual complete components such as the motors, wheels, and batteries, but most of the rest is built using simple techniques from steel and aluminium profiles and sections. You can see more detail of the build process over on my flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/22070130@N07/sets/72157626598857828/ Hope that makes sense, let me know if you have any other questions! :)
Thank you Rick! Looking back, it's quite crazy how this thing has developed over the years :D It's been a long process, but the gradual improvements also meant that I knew after the first runs that this was going somewhere and it was worth spending the time and improve it. And the more I worked on it, the better I got with the building and the more ideas I had ;)
Vielen Dank Reinhold - alles meine eigene Konstruktion. Auf flickr (Link in description) kannst Du den Bau verfolgen. Thank you Reinhold, all my own design, on flickr (link in desciption) you can follow the build.
Thank you for your interest! This one needs a lot of manual work, so it would be very expensive. I am thinking about designing one optimised for laser-cutting - would you be interested in a smaller, simpler 4x4 motor grader?
@@caterpillarman5136 I'll be upfront with you: I don't know yet where this might go or how expensive it would be. But please read on. I would love to see more people using R/C motor graders, but this is just my hobby, so every hour I spend on making someone else's model kit/set, I can't spend on my own next model. The thing is, if I am making something for myself, it doesn't matter if I am using some obscure electric motor that you can only find at full moon when the crow creaks - because I only need that one. But it doesn't stop there. If I design something that needs rework (filing, drilling, tapping, undersized slots,...) or regular maintenance, some people will get frustrated. My plan is to have a simple but fully functional 4x4 grader that can be operated with a single 6.5-channel radio. The buyer would get a set of laser-cut parts and some special components (certain bolts, bearings, brackets,...). They would then have to assemble and paint and install components themselves that they would order from ebay or hobby stores. I'd have video/pdf building instructions available, but it would still require some experience from the buyer. The reason for that is that if I were to build a read-to-run grader it would take many hours and the shipping box would get very large and heavy. I have a plan for such a grader half-finished, but the second half is the one that hurts, so to say, tweaking it to a product that works for a customer. I would hope the parts kit would be less than 1500 USD with another 500 to 1000USD of parts/motors/electronics to be bought by the customer. Can I ask you what your background is, are you an operator of a full-size machine or an R/C hobbyist or maybe you have a different route into this hobby, would love to hear from you and what you would need/want from such a kit.
Thank you Joe! Yes, still have it, I need to finish the last update, including soldering the electronics and my least-favourite task ever, cable routing and plug crimping! But the last two years kind of threw a spanner into the whole plan...
Thank you! When working hard, batteries last a bit more than an hour. With the weaker motors I had before I could get close to 90 minutes, but I reckon I didn't do more work. You can see that I ran roughly 9min*eightfold speed=72minutes on the second day.
hehe, no telemetry, but the drive motors don't get warm. Some of the old servos did have thermal problems, but now everything is set up better, so they don't overheat.
@@drzflyest4 you picked the largest and heaviest thing I've built ;) I still have a few things I want to add to this, before I consider selling it - but also shipping this to the US would not be fun... Have you seen my G190, a 1:Tamiya scale 4x4x4 grader? That's laser cut and 3D-printed.
Thank you! Currently it is not for sale, but you can visit the build photos here: flickr.com/gp/22070130@N07/13BERN I hope that I will develop a simpler grader as an assembly kit, but this is years into the future.
haha, okay, seems you are not the only one who prefers standard speed footage! No money needed, I will see what I can do and whether I still have the original footage. Or maybe I get around to combining several clips for a best-of...
Edmar Dimazinho boa tarde Edmar Dimazinho tudo bem tem um cara de curitiba pr ele fez uma por encomenda cartepillar 120 b ele Severnaya servio tem muitos videos dele no yotube
Thank you! Almost all of my videos include a section in normal speed. Do you really want to watch 2 hours of grader driving (as in this video) in full length?

@@YensR Really impressive, Bravo !
@@segomatu7063 Thank you very much :)
That's a lot of commitment to a project that might not work. Good for you! Looks great AND it works!

How much is it to build me one
Thank you for your interest! This one needs a lot of manual work, so it would be very expensive.

@@YensR how much are you talking about
Ok I will be interested in the smaller one how much do you think it would cost

@@YensR ok thank you
Hey man. Spin that blade so it’s on a bigger angle. It will cut heaps better and won’t bog down
You are totally right, still learning this, thank you
:)
All good. I’ve been operating graders for a while now. I know a few little tricks
@@kingjonun9999 haha, I can imagine! I hope to be back soon, practising some more.
This little grader can move some material. Do you still have it?
Thank you Joe! Yes, still have it, I need to finish the last update, including soldering the electronics and my least-favourite task ever, cable routing and plug crimping! But the last two years kind of threw a spanner into the whole plan...
Complete this, all the electric movements, was show
SHOW, SHOW
Glad you like it! Thank you! :)
Nice rig. Now, what was the *actual* run-time be for this movie?
Thank you!
When working hard, batteries last a bit more than an hour. With the weaker motors I had before I could get close to 90 minutes, but I reckon I didn't do more work.
You can see that I ran roughly 9min*eightfold speed=72minutes on the second day.
Best to check the temps on those motors at least once an hour anyhow. Or don't tell me you have telemetry, too.
hehe, no telemetry, but the drive motors don't get warm.
Some of the old servos did have thermal problems, but now everything is set up better, so they don't overheat.
Would you sell this one or build another for sale,

I would pay you to repost this video without 4x. Great model...well done.
haha, okay, seems you are not the only one who prefers standard speed footage!
No money needed, I will see what I can do and whether I still have the original footage. Or maybe I get around to combining several clips for a best-of...
I can't wait. Your craftmanship is really great...so much the more rewarding to observe every movement of this beauty. Thanks in anticipation.
Where do you purchase over these trucks at I'm in New Jersey
Thank you for your interest, Kennth, this is all built by myself, following my own design. There is no company (yet?) selling RC motor graders.
That's weird looks very nice keep up the good work
Thank you Kenneth, it looks a bit weird, but that's good ;)
die einzigen grader die funktionieren seh im YT. als model auf einem gelände noch nie
spitzen arbeit der grader
Thank you Peter, sorry for not replying!
Play, fix, repeat.
Thank you Rick! Indeed, fix and improve! Works so much better now than when I started! :)
buen trabajo pana nice trato arrastre =) buen video
Muchas gracias :)
eu quero comprar um
Thank you for your interest, but sadly it is not for sale! But on my flickr page and this youtube channel you can see how to build one yourself!
Edmar Dimazinho boa tarde Edmar Dimazinho tudo bem tem um cara de curitiba pr ele fez uma por encomenda cartepillar 120 b ele Severnaya servio tem muitos videos dele no yotube
Marcio Ribeiro oi tenho interesse como faso
Schweinegeil das Teil! Hut ab. Great work!
haha, dankeschön :) Muss unbedingt wieder ran, die Arduino-Elektronik fertig machen!
Yns. R. Grader.i like
Normal speed better, it will be looked like real thing.
Thank you! Almost all of my videos include a section in normal speed. Do you really want to watch 2 hours of grader driving (as in this video) in full length?
Thank you. I understand you. I play construction toy too. I talk to you about felling!
me manda o número do zape ai
Slow
slow what?
