I do not really understand why it cannot be connected to any other receiver? Why can’t it be tested with a different spektrum or futaba flight receiver? I’m thinking about getting one but I do not want to use that radio I have a DX12!
It's definitely an head turner. It looks great on the truck and you can move actually remote control it. I hope to see more vendor releasing stuff like that. If you don't want to bore more holes you can try to glue it down with something like silicone glue. It's a very large surface, the glue would have a lot of grip, and silicone should not ruin the paint (but test first!) and it's easy to remove if you change your mind without major damage.
I think Andrew will cry just as much with either solution. I think I feel happier about it being bolted down. That way there is no chance of the glue giving way and it come down on the cab 😱
@@chiccorocker a good question Enrico. As the rig stands, I'm with Tel on bolting it down mainly because if it does roll over - and that's a real risk with it onboard - I'd be happier that they would keep the crane attached and thus stop a full roll. Now, in terms of mounting a crane ideally? Straight on the chassis 100% but that means either a new shorter bed - MC4 one for example - or building the whole back end up from scratch. Neither is a simple or cheap option.
yea thats what I thought, and you informed me of that... how in the heck did he hook this too a 16ch? its a great inforitive video but after seening this again I am glad so far im holding off its so darn slow. did you see the new dump bed now that I will get a conversion kit for when it comes out
@@thatsmyrc aye I've seen the bed - hydraulic type arms pushing it up right? And it just so happens I (Andrew) have a Bruder hiab crane for just that purpose.
That's a result it works, but it's not slow. That looks like real life if you have ever watched a crane they are slow getting the arm moving. Shame the noise of the base turning but other wise looks cool.
Good review. I really like the red paint. I'm gonna get one, and probably go with yellow like Caterpillar, or the other backhoe people. Can't think of their name right now? Or maybe. desert sand, or heavily weathered olive drab.
Thanks Brian, they really do look the part and it has now appeared in a lot of our videos. Especially the snow runner ones, have a look at it on the BC8 :) Cheers.
Can you use the Trasped transmitter to drive the truck as well as operate the crane? I think it would be good to make a hole in the bed for the wire lead and run it under the bed, with a servo extension, to the receiver. You can remove the crate battery box and replace it with the crane box to locate both the receiver and the battery. It has to mount a good distance from the crane anyway, for it to be able to rotate without hitting. Anyway, nice video and thanks for sharing!!!
You could yes but I prefer my spektrum dx5c for driving the rig. The crane wont get used that much so taking it along wont be a problem. When the crane is raised it will turn around without hitting the control box next to it. It's only when it is folded up. Thanks for the comments. Glad you like the video 👍
That boom extend is hilariously slow, but over all it does look really good. I wonder if it would be possible to redo the electronics in it so you could use different radios or get a little more voltage so it moves a little quicker. Do the holes in the mount line up with the holes for the wooden crate? If the battery fits in the green box that would let you mount the crane closer to the cab. I'm not familiar with the truck itself.
I think you would need to change all the motors. So for that reason it is staying as it is. I have had to cut a slit in the base of the crane. The wire now runs into the box next to the crane 👍
If you haven’t already sorted the speed issue try changing the ubec for something that can deliver more amps. Cheaper Ubecs are often only set up to deliver 1 or 2 amps for a couple of low powered servos. The crane will probably need 4 or 5 amps to work at its designed speed. The specs will probably give you a better idea.
It looks pretty dang cool. Couple of different little motors in there speed up that arm coming out of it. Do you know how long A spend sanding and polishing that bed for you and now you’re gonna go drilling holes in it LOL
work out adding a bec too the crane, should be just like boosting your steering ....seems like an idea...not tested ,just a thought. waiting on mine soon.
Hello I watched your video and I followed your advice to the letter, finally what I understood because I am French but I send you an S.O.S because I can't do it! the receiver and the transmitter are not set. Can you help me please.
Oh good so glad you got it to work. Sorry but I couldn't help but laugh a few times. I hate that damn radio I got one of the very first HG Hummers and the damn thing didn't work cause of that receiver. I couldn't drive it for like a month waiting on Banggood so when yours didn't work I laughed and then the cup of tea thing too LMAO! On a side note I also got the first HG MRAP and that damn thing doesn't work right either. Anyway glad I found your channel you did a great job weathering the crane. Like and sub! If you wanna see some funny RC stuff check me out. My newest video came out pretty good. Happy New year!
looks cool with the crane from an rc hemtt
thanks so much for describing in detail, about to order but had no idea about controller!
Very nice addition to the truck. 😄👌👍
Thank you. Very excited about getting it secured down.

Plus drilling the bed will make Andrew cry 😱😛😂
@@antrc the both of you have good arguments indeed 😂😂😂
🥰😘🥰😘😁 you are very welcome.
Just a side note to anyone who may be Reading this and wants to get one this will not work with the 16 channel receiver.
Thanks for the help. I really like it. Just need to mount it now.

still thinking about just slapping a converted bruder crane top half on mine or a huina modified set up 8-)
It is very slow. However, it has been mounted. Only had time to run it around the garden and it looks soooooo cool.

Thanks Mal. Yes that is true. I haven't really spent time watching cranes move if I am honest. I was very relieved when it worked.
@@antrc I've seen only a couple and they are slow. They do want a heavy pendulum that swings around.
Great video 👍👍

My friend just got one but the cranes has two leads a power and a 3 wire signal servo lead
Really cool.

He doesn't Sean, but I do. 😑
Ah he doesn't mind really 😂😂😂
cnut
AnT R/C lMAO
That looks cool!
Weights a ton tho, so seeing how the balance of the truck changes is going to be a thing.
Can I use any radio and receiver with this? If not whare did you get the radio and receiver from? Thanks
Hello
Yes, they must be paired together to match!
Why don't you paint the crane red (or black) to match your truck? A green crane looks a little strange on a red truck.
Well, I may have to persuade my painting guru and get him on the case 😂🥰
Hmmm your painting guru is taking a sabbatical from doing your sh1t.
It seems to be kinda scale speed in it's movement. I would like it to be faster since toys being toys, we want it to zoom.
Yeah fair point. Impatience is a curse lol
has anyone tried plugging this crane into a ppm out put on something like an orange rx and operated off a spektrum controller?
Hello, where I can find the red box on the right of the crane? Thank you very much.
Hi Alberto, that's a Killerbody Tote box sprayed red.
@@antrc thank you for the answer!
Thank you for watching, answering is the least we can do 👍
i've never seen an rc man kat 1 truck
Well! You've come to the right place. 🚛🥰
Hello, you must first link the receiver to the transmitter.
This is where my problem is, I can't do it !!!
I'm sure after that the rest works.
The receiver lights up red, but no communication between the transmitter and the receiver!
Hello,"you must first link the receiver to the transmitter".

interesting.......
Was it working in the end? I fell asleep listening after 30 seconds lol. Just joking
Lol. Yes. Perfectly fine 😛
Hello
