Barely Scraping by, Without Any Help - Building my First Road | RC ADVENTURES

[@rfarabee1911a1]

Dude..Crazy good adventure you have going here..not sure if this is now or past episode but here goes… I am from the Gold/ Silver mining industry and really get a kick out of your mining claim operation. I saw the episode of you guys showing the nuggets mined during the season..BUT..you did not show the Gold in “scale” size to the operator dude standing next to his Gold “boulders”. I mean seriously dude..these little miners are really pulling in a tremendous amount of Gold bullion.. figure out the scale size and weight and make these scale miners the millionaires they deserve to be for all their hard work. I really respect the amount of skill you and you friends have doing this…thanks for giving us all this to enjoy…GOLD…!!!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thank you so much Randy! What an epic comment to receive. That is a true honour. I know the boys will enjoy reading this comment, so I will pin it to the top!

[@BradGryphonn]

If my barely capable mathematics brain cells are right, if the scale is 1/14, you would multiply the real Gold weight by 14 to get the scaled value? I think that Randy's idea is brilliant! A 20 gram day would scale to 280 grams for the miniature operators. You could get some faux 1/14th scale gold chains for them to hang around their necks. Full bling.

[@Anson_AKB]

@@BradGryphonn doesn't 1/14 scale mean a linear scale ? (for length AND width AND height) and thus the volume and weight of objects (which is cubic) would have to be 14³ (=2744) times bigger, and 20 g scaling up to 55 kg or 100 pounds ... edit: with today's current gold prices (57351 US$/kg) this would be over 3 million US$ !!!

[@BradGryphonn]

@@Anson_AKB I defer to your mathematical skills and also rejoice in how much richer the tiny operators are now that a real accountant is on the job. :o)

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I am genuinely amused at how many viewers say "you should go and watch videos on KZbin on how to use a scraper".. When I literally am on KZbin all the time, and clearly have watched videos on how to use a scraper. Today, I was in a sand pit.. and this is exactly how I would use an earth mover - even as a first time operator. The door to the belly only needed to be open a bit .. depending on your cut depth. Same with dropping the belly blade. And yes, you can push the earth mover with the dozer - OR - use the ripper to pull it. The front hook is designed FOR another scraper or a dozer ripper to pull it.. its why its there.

[@neyo474]

They transport just the tractor unit on the trailer the scraper is towed behind still attached to the tractor unit

[@X1j5]

The dozer pushes so that when the scraper reaches the end of the cut it can just drive away while the dozer reverses to push the next scraper. When doing tandem scrapers the lead scraper loads while the rear pushes it, once the lead is loaded it will pull the rear scraper. I’ve been in construction my entire life and don’t believe I have ever witnessed a dozer pull a scraper by it’s ripper. I think you had trouble because typically the work area for a scraper has been graded by a dozer first. If you think about it and scale those dips to same size as scraper in 1:1 they would be 6ft deep. No scraper is operating in those conditions. I’m genuinely not trying to be a dick, just wanted to give some feedback based on real world experience. Love the videos keep them coming! I’m looking forward to seeing more of this big CAT

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I dont think your being a dick, as you say in your comment - but the hanger on the front is for the tandem scraper setup or a ripper to pull.. if the scraper does not have the hook on the front, then the dozer HAS to push it.. see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYSZZKdur7h2eaM. In tandem, the hook is for the pulling pin on the lead scraper, while the middle is actually doing the cutting

[@Benschannel.]

Everytime I read the manual upside down it always says I can take 12s and come with smoke simulation is this right.

[@davefontes8532]

I have never seen a dozer PULL a scraper. They only push scrapers. The reason is practicality. The scraper gets into the cut, the dozer turns in behind the scraper and starts to push. When the scraper is full, he picks up the can, makes a hard turn, and goes. The hard turn is because it is easier to turn the can than to pull it straight. This way he can pick up a gear, and get some momentum. The bail is strictly use to hook the rear of another scraper. Suggestion, open the apron more. It looks like you where plowing the sand, and getting stuck. If the apron had been open more, then the cutting edge would have sliced into the sand, and loaded into the can. You only close the apron down after you start loading, so that the material in the can doesn't spill out. Practice, practice practice. Love the machines.

[@Kid_Rado]

🙌🙌🙌 Hands up for men playing in the sandbox. 🤟😎👍

[@jetblueoo7]

Can’t wait to see you drag that scraper with the dozer!!! And another dozer pushing it at the same time . That’s a true display of teamwork!!!! G.O.L.D. 😎

I think it was a wasp. Honey bees are necessary, Wasps however are not. Run it over.

[@matthew2hunley290]

If you open your front gate for the scrapper and put the ejector forward all the way it acts like a big dozer blade. Just some advice from an scrapper operator.

[@wolf16731]

Bringing back memories of operating for me. I put in a lot of time with a scraper out in the Middle East, along with every other equipment you can think of. Wish I was in Canada to show Sparks how it's done!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Even if it was a dozer blade, the sand was too loose to use as such. It needed a pull or a push..

[@wolf16731]

We normally ran the gate full open at all times and only ever used a push dozer, never pull. Gate only closed when you transported the dirt to where you wanted to put it down. Ejecting the gate would be full open and I would normally just adjust with vehicle speed or ejector speed if I had to.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

@@wolf16731 Dang, you must have been in lots of sand.. but as I said, I was buried up to the axles in moments.. open gate or not.. I cant believe people are arguing the points of how someone is having imaginary fun.. lol The world these days.. I think for my first attempt, I kicked ass

[@laughingloonfishing4838]

Ran a buggy for some time. Fill your hopper with you gate half open and close slightly once the dirt hits the ejection wall and continue to fill with a push dozer. To put a nice even flat lift down of dirt. Always be moving forward, open gate first and enough to have a slight spill out then start slowly ejecting. Lift gate fully 1/2 way of ejection. Really cool toy and I'm hooked now on your channel. Keep this stuff coming man. HAPPY RC ING

[@BradGryphonn]

I worked for a short while with earthmoving equipment in the mid-80s. We were raising the earth wall of a tailings dam at a coal mine. There were D9L dozers ripping the borrow pits and pushing the scrapers if need be. Then the scrapers would drag that loose fill and dump it on the top of the old dam wall. I drove a 769C dump truck with a water tank in the dump bucket wetting down the fill for it to be laser leveled by graders and vibe rolled to specific compaction parameters. Great fun.

[@mattjacobus3005]

That is one of the sweetest things I have seen in RC great job.

[@onedayatatime4232]

Wow wow wow...how cool was that when the dozer hooked up and the whole unit worked as one . Wicked as. That really is the coolest rc you have love the scraper.

[@brianargo1659]

If u would be open the gate on the to scraper about a quarter to half way. It to would cut and fill the belly pan a lot easier, faster and fuller. Then to lay a Good strip u raise the gate A quarter. Then pick the belly up about an inch or 2 off the ground and as u drive forward u bring the back eject gate to the front to push the dirt out of the belly as u drive. It's much easier to show then explain. That was the first machine I started operating when I was about 15yrs old. I'm 45yrs now. And Ive been operating ay trackhoe some call it an excavator for a living for the past 20+ yrs. But have touched about every peace of equipment since the scraper. It just takes Seat time. But ur a smart dude, it wont be long and u will be a professional with it. Like everything else we touch. Cool video and rigs. Keep the vids coming 👍

[@nofreerides7033]

To truly admire the hobby doesn’t mean just bashing and blasting but enjoying the mechanics of the RCs… these heavy duty RCs aren’t built for speed but it’s enjoyable to watch because of the real scale look … I mean they operate like the real thing… I work out in the pipeline industry and it’s kinda hypnotizing watching the large scale excavators at work… And to see these RC heavy equipment machines in action puts the icing on the cake 👍👍👍

I took my Huina 1580 and 1583 on a business trip and let my niece and nephew, 3&5, play. It was fun to turn the kids on to RC. Some day I will get them each a truck. Plus digging in the sandbox was sweet. My niece was the Forman. Haha

[@sgtjameslindsey2493]

On those lowboy trailers, the real ones have flip out arms down each side that you put 2x8 oak boards to extend the width of your trailer when your tracks hang over like that. You also need to get some wide load signs on that rig and trailer and if it's way over weight and size, you need an escort car,lol.

[@robertmorey4104]

Scraper is really cool. Would be easier to push w dozer. The "front door" is called the apron. Would be fun to use this machine.

That's awesome seeing how it works I thought the door had to be open more to fill but seeing it in action makes sense haveing it open a little bit to fill it up. Love seeing it in action

[@kingchevy8885]

I actually used to run a 1970s terex ts14 belly dumb scraper so I found this video awesome

[@tempestmkiv]

Very cool stuff! When loading a real excavator onto a real lowboy, we never used to put the bucket on the deck of the trailer to lift the front of the machine but instead on the ground next to the trailer. Then swing the house around and lift the back end of the excavator with the bucket in tight to the tracks. That way you can extend the boom while driving the machine onto the trailer so you aren't dragging the bucket along the ground and tearing up asphalt. Great video though, keep em' coming!
