Sir, with all due respect I need to correct what you wrote in the description: "I'm not a professional", because you clearly are a professional. Great job as always, thank you for sharing.

[@Kniftel]

Wow, I'm very impressed by how you managed to fit everything in there. Great work!

[@g-manracer1997]

Incredible as always. I've always been very creative at engineering, fabbing, and machining my own custom things for my REAL cars, but you always blow my mind, working with such small intricate machines! I love RC, but you bring it to a whole new level. Much respect, and admiration for your skills👍

Awesome video, if you won't build them to sell...maybe consider teaching someone and marketing them to the public? This could be a great money maker and way to take your skills to the next level with funding for all kinds of cool things. Good job, keep up the good work.

Don't need to teach someone. Every modeler or mecaniker can be do this easy.

Another great project! Bravo! What servos did you use for this valves? This pressure limiter is your job? Or you buy it? What sound module/card you use?

[@843_Tyler]

what's the 1/16 scale compared to the cen racing f-450 because i want to buy the cen racing f-250 or f-450 but i want a skid steer to put on a trailer so the truck can pull it to make it realistic size

[@user-kd4hh9bs3o]

What lifting system do you use?

[@geriwicki9670]

Guten Abend Kannst du mir sagen für was die Modifikation notwendig ist wenn man von Luft auf Öl geht? Vertragen die Dichtungen das Hydrauliköl nicht? Grosses Kompliment für deine Arbeit und liebe Grüsse.

[@BartsteRCModels]

Les joins ne sont pas assez serré d'origine et avec la pression d'huile il y a une fuite. Il faut soit remplacer le joins, soit le serrer plus fort avec l'utilisation d'une bague.

[@bonaha8464]

con che materiale hai realizzato la benna liscia e come l hai saldata? grazie sei fantastico 😍

[@iceninjaxagent2159]

were did you get the rear cap

[@dylandixon6818]

Awesome video as always ! I am curious about one thing ! Why was the seal modification necessary?

[@BartsteRCModels]

Thoses cylinder are made for pneumatic use, front seal isn't tight enought. With pressure oil it will leak. Piston seal is fine, but rod seal need to be tightned.

[@_P0tat07_]

That’s impressive! How did you do the laser level attachment?

[@BartsteRCModels]

It's still in developpement, I will made a full video

[@Isurvivedbiblecamp]

@bartste RC models what kid of controller and receiver did you use and how much did it cost to build

[@BartsteRCModels]

I use Feetech FT90R esc for tracks and small 10A brushless for pump

For this model, what lithium battery voltage did you use? Was it a 3-cell battery? If you would share I would appreciate it! Thanks,\.

[@BartsteRCModels]

2cell 1000mAh

How do you buy the pump? no shop option on the link provided?

[@BartsteRCModels]

You can write a mail to HP-tech directly or sometimes thoses pump can be fund in different RC aircraft shop.

Awesome model. Do you think, this could be built with Mini Hydraulik brushless pump from Magom too? Which speed controllers are you using for small models like this?

[@BartsteRCModels]

Magom pump is too big. Any 10A brushless esc (type aircraft) will work
