Thanks buddy, and have a good one :)

Good mod. Will most likely do the same to my 1593. Sometimes it drags on the tracks while digging.

[@Granite-City-RC]

lol yeah i get that too sometimes , hopefully it will make ripping up the soil a bit easier as well as not not dragging myself into the hole im trying to dig lol :)

lol yeah , i wanna go test it , but the ground is frozen solid :(

@@Granite-City-RC I have been moving snow with my 1583. I modified the tires with a dremmel. Received my quick steering motor from wuehlbox yesterday. Can't wait to install it. I have a video up of that.

[@Granite-City-RC]

lol yeah , just seen it . I was hoping for some snow at some point , but i think we have to put up with just frosts for now. You'll enjoy the new motor, so quiet and fast :) and easy to install

I do not understand why they wouldn't put the counterweight where the counterweight goes on the back of the superstructure that's where I put mine and it works absolutely perfect.

[@Granite-City-RC]

Probably to help with traction for the tracks as well, but yeah, more weight could be added to the back ... i do have tonnes of wheel weights left over so might add that in at some point as well if i feel it could do with a bit more weight

Hello. Please if you can help .. I have bought a new WLToys 16800 arm, receiver and transmitter which I have fitted to my Huina 1592 with a minor mod but I'm not sure how to bind or connect the receiver to the transmitter. When I switch it all on the lights on the arm flash but nothing seems to work. It is all plug and play as far as the arm connections to the receiver board goes. Any ideas ? Thank you.

[@Granite-City-RC]

i'm no expert , but i would have thought they are kinda all inter changeable, think they are made in the same place , so would make sense? the only thing i can say from experience is the huina transmitter should auto bind to the huina board ( i had to get a replacement as the screen on my transmitter didnt work, and didnt have to bind to my 580 to the transmitter ... it just worked ). Maybe double check all the wires are going to the right places, check 1 at a time , plug in the original stuff, see if all works , then try change 1 plug at a time on the new arm. Thanks about all i can suggest, or at least what i would try ? I hope that helps in some way , but let me know :)

[@new2rc453]

@@Granite-City-RC Thank you for your quick reply. The connections for the arm are all colour coded and I have studied KZbin videos showing these connections but I cannot find any video explaining how the receiver and transmitter should connect or bind together. I shall keep investigating. If I can get this to work then my 1592 will have a better more powerful arm for much less than 1593 or WLtoys 16800. The 16800 arm fits to the 1592 and is the same size as the original. Thank you for trying.

@@new2rc453 I have seen that some people will change out all the electrics on big mods, run everything on its own ESC, but its not something i've really looked at yet

@@Granite-City-RC Thank you for your responses. I figured it out this afternoon... Simply a faulty battery, would you believe it! It all works perfectly now. This has transformed the Huina 1952...

@@Granite-City-RC Unfortunately, This product doesn't seem to be in this company's range anymore.😟. maybe it can be obtained from some Chinese site that still has it??

[@MrMurrekatt]

If you had known the exact shape in advance, you could have cast one yourself in lead (very heavy material)
