@@ianyams Thanks for the prompt reply.I will def sub to our channel for more informative video. I noted you had a beacon installed. Can this be connected directly into the original receiver or how do you connect this?
You're welcome and thanks. I connected the beacon direct to the battery live and neutral wires and not to the circuit board, so when you plug the battery in the beacon comes on. Be careful if you buy a cheap beacon the voltage from the excavator will blow it. I purchased my beacon from Pistenking.com very expensive but are the best out there. These run safely 4-12 volts. www.pistenking.com/shop/product_info.php?info=p113_rotating-beacon-in-1-16.html
Great conversion, yes the metal is Mazak, a cheap medium that is used for models, Hornby had a great deal of trouble a few years back with a bad batch, loco chassis disintegrated, but better now... One thing you could do, is flush glaze the glass in the door, you can still do it even though you have fitted the door, its again a bit of a chore but will look great when its finished,....
I have 2 dump trucks 1 loader 1 excavator 1 truck and low boy the dump truck I had to grind bottom step off and grinded the bottom lol the log arm fix I did got a picture hanger and it taped itself on and spring
Hi, the Beacon has 2 wires, live and neutral, I soldered them to the main battery wires so when you plug the battery in the beacon comes on, no switch.
Hi bud, how did you wire in the flashing beacon? and where did you get the CAT transfers from I know there are a lot of places sell them but don't want to end up buying crap ones. Cheers
Hi, the beacon has a live and neutral wire, I just soldered them to the live and neutral battery wires under the rear cover so when you plug the battery in the beacon comes on. Got the cat decals off eBay but it was a long time ago, it was a seller in Italy. Go on Huina Facebook pages and ask the same question 👍
Hi, yes definitely if you want to get into excavator rc on a budget. It's the best option other than a hydraulic. Don't buy a cheap plastic one you will be disappointed.
Keren👍
Thanks.
Nice JOB 👍
Thanks very much 👍
Great video! Just got myself a 1580 and love it. Can you do a tutorial on how to remove the smoke unit to be able to fit a larger battery?
Hi, many thanks for the kind words. It's very easy to remove the smoke generator, remove 2 screws and unplug the lead. Enjoy your new excavator 👍

Thanks for the kind words and the story of the metal. I was thinking of flush fitting the glass but that could be another video 👍😁

How did you install the beacon and what did you connect it to? and is it possible to turn on and off?
Hi, the Beacon has 2 wires, live and neutral, I soldered them to the main battery wires so when you plug the battery in the beacon comes on, no switch.
Hi, nice work, nice video! Could you please tell me where you connect the rotating light on the board? Which connector you used about it? Thanks
Hi, thanks very much. I connected the beacon straight to the battery wires and not the board. Hope this helps 👍
