– [RCSparks] After weeks of waiting for the literal slow boat from China, my motor is finally here, guys. 55 turn, the RS, 540 sized brushed motor, finally got here from Amazon. I couldn’t believe how long it took. You would think that any motor would fit inside my bulldozer, but in fact that is not the case. This shaft size is much
smaller than I expected. (laughs) There’s always
innuendo in RC, my friends. Well, this shaft is a direct
pinion mount, of course, into a set of gears, as you
can see here on the end. See there’s five gears, and
a shaft through the middle. Well this is the part where
the motor’s gonna mount up. It has to have a pinion that
goes right on the inside that hooks up with the
gears that you can’t see. Also the bearing goes on the outside, which in turn drives the giant cog wheel, and then there’s the outer cap. All of this, of course, connecting to the bulldozer right there. This is what we burnt out
on YouTube Gold, I believe, in the very last episode, whereas I had hydraulic
fluid dripping onto the comm, which is on the end of the bell here. And what happened is it
basically blew everything apart. It got super hot, and everything
shattered on the inside, so we were dozer down. Well, finally I’ve got
the parts to fix it, we might as well start
getting everything hooked up. Okay, first things first. Here is the pinion. This has gotta be mounted
up on the motor shaft. This is gonna be what’s turning everything on the inside
of that whole gear box. Kay, pinion’s in place,
secondly I’m gonna remove this motor mount plate. We’ll have to clean it up. Behind this plate is the gears. There’s a good look at
the gears behind it. Get rid of all that extra grease, make sure that we’ve
got a nice, clean area to mount up the motor. Beautiful. (gears whirring) We can manage that. Kay, off camera I was able
to get some longer leads onto the motor and chain it up. The longer leads are required just for the ESC to be hooked up properly, which was the speed controller. The awkward part of this is that it’s gotta be slung in on the outside, and I don’t know if this lead chain’s gonna be long enough. Scale everything. Nice. I gotta be super careful though. For the amount of time it
actually took me to get this here, I almost want to like change the position of my
excavator a little bit here. Gives me a little bit more lead at least. Get the wires through to the other side. So unchained, slid through, and now it’s just a matter of
getting the bolts into place. Lotta people would use
an impact driver here. Me, I like using a hand driver because then I can tell,
I can feel it, you know? I can really feel where it seats properly. And that’s part of the
beauty is you get one bolt in in the right spot, and it
kinda holds it there for you as you’re able to get in the other ones. There we go. Thankfully I’m able to shimmy it up there. Kay, let’s get the bearing on there. Don’t want to crush my fingers. Ooh. Need two hands for this. Nice. Kay, so the inside of the bearing already has grease on it. We’re gonna add some to the outside. Kay, I have to get this cog
flipped over, so simple lift. And then out with the arm. Oh, dang it. Okay, let’s see. I need the other side
of the wheel, the cog, so I need to flip it over somehow. So tapered side, that’s good enough. If we can lift into place
like that, that should work. I left it in the chain too long. Yeah. Up. Too much. Perfect. Then the final alignment
of that outer plate, and then screw that on, bolt it on. Nice and easy. I’d say this made my install video a little more entertaining
for me, at least. I don’t know if you guys
have made any comments or like clicks below, but I’ve enjoyed my, ah, so glad that wasn’t over the cab. (laughs) Give it some guidance here. Yep. Kay, this is gonna be the hard part, getting the track
actually over the roller. Oop. There it is. I’ll just unhook this here. (gears whirring) There, we can pin that up. Nice and slow. Nice, the final piece. Right about there. Just need a guide on it. It’s always at this point in the video I always think, geez, maybe
you should have tested it before you hooked everything back up. (laughs) Okay, moment of truth,
was it all worth it? Oh, I saw movement. Pump’s working. (laughs) Delayed shutoff. Or I didn’t put a delay on there. (motors grinding) Yeah, oh yeah, welcome back. Little bit of a squeal. I bet everything could
use a good greasing. Well there we go, the
bulldozer back in operation. Autopilot. All fixed. Geez, I might have just done the most scale RC bulldozer repair ever seen on the internet. Leave a like click just for that, guys.
I love how you make it so scale. Hope you and family are well. Happy Hollidays
Put a go pro in some of the machine cabs so we can see whatβs it like LOL
Do they have like Jack's and you can actually move in the scale the dogs dirt does your scale like you can move up the jacks up and
Awesome
Why do you drive with your excavator sprockets in reverse? In real life that causes more stress on your chain which can lead to your track coming off the machine
Man, that's a beautiful track joe!
Now that's awesome imagination!!! Aaron!
the way you made this video, makes it look like fun and really easy. Best way to en
Shrink tubing makes for a great seal on the backside of that motor, so you don't have this type of problem in the future. Just sayin !!!
I liked it
That the way to do it π lol
Why are most RC motors 3 phase?
Sweet
I like how you used the equipment to fix the equipment cuz in reality they actually do that so I think it's pretty cool
When you have so many EPIC RC's you use them as "tools"/"benches" π€£ EPIC video as usual ππ₯°π¦
That's pretty Awesome scale everything
Would love to see more maintenance vids on the YouTube gold rigs. Itβs pretty cool to see the wear and tear on the machines.
I mean OBVIOUSLY it takes heavy machinery to help fix heavy machinery.. THANK GOD the Kobelco was on site to help outβΌπ€£πππ¦
I love with the RC cars that you are showing us what it would be like if we had full size of those kinds of machines and how to properly fix and redo things like if we had an actual full size machine and I think that is awesome
I liked the idea that you used your other RC to fix other RC
very cool video
Wonks had oompah loompas ,Hawaii get menehune, hey medic what you call the little people helping you?? I saw them I did , do they also work for beer πΊ lol….π€ππ€£π you need to figure out an elf π§ββοΈ ear or something penalty before Xmas …..
Great job like button hit for that one i love the whole scale part of it all merry christmas arron and family
Always enjoy watching our videos as you bring out the true joy of being a kid with their favorite toy
Very Cool! You did a great scale repair! The excavator looks so awesome! Can't wait to see it in action for the next season of YouTube Gold!
Sometimes when Iβm in a front end loader moving wood at a mill in Utah, I think about you guys, makes my day that much better!!
Good representation of why RC models like this have the prices they do….. the parts contained are crazzzyyy!!! i.e. those planetary gears and bearing! a machinists&engineers hobby size wet dream.
Now that's some seriously scale assembly!! At 1/1 the damage would have been phenomenal!!
I'd love to see you assemble an RC4WD special edition Blazer using the excavator! (The one that comes with the scale V8)
Awe just the damn parts on by hand already, and be done with it! Joking obviously. Nice job!
Hey Medic, perhaps you could film a bit of a comparison on size and capability between the Kobelco and the 4200XL? The differences in detail and overall quality are pretty apparent even without them side by side, but I am curious about reach, lifting capacity, breakout/digging capability and such. (Yes, it may need to wait until the white stuff goes away outside).
Thanks for all that you do!
Another fun video, love how much pulling power the Kobelco has.
I know the D9 was on a slippery surface but it seemed to move it with ease when it was refitting the tracks, maybe you should have used some chocks… π€
Super cool video, Medic!
πππππππ
Definitely interesting watching it loved it!!
Jem idea for loading wars for the penalty using the excavator by picking a item up with the chain and swinging it 180Β° and sitting it back down with out dropping an unstable item?
Would be fun to set the coffee maker to RC. Replace that excavators coop to that thing normally measure coffee in the machine and some sort of sluice to supply a water and rock crusher deal with coffee beans… WOHOO!!! Waiting the video now π
It don't get any better than this!!!
i think someone could of been hurt badly there
13:55 PENALTY!!!!
Was it super skunk this week!π³
Yup, very enjoyable to watch. Good call.
How bored were you Medic..? XD
I want a dozer so bad but I cant justify the price. Is there any reason that you can think of to justify the price of this dozer? Or if you know of any cheaper but still functional and worth the price ones for sale, please let me know
very cool my friend, that was a 1 to 1 scale repair, amazing Video and thumbs upππ
Just a tip for when your putting tracks on, drag the track back over the segments from the back and then just track back until it just touches the rear idler, looks more professional π
Youtube Gold Baby !
Shipping…..grrrr. Should have bought two. lol
That Kobelco is absolutely beautiful. You did a FANTASTIC job on that from top to bottom. I think she'll be March on my 2020 RC Pinup Calendar. π
I think there are pills for shaft size issues.
What a great idea
It's nice to see you using the excavator the way it would be used in the field
Well done Medic
Keep up the vids
You needed a guide rope on the cab & that top piece to help position them. The βLoading Warsβ dock worker could manage the tag end of the rope.
Gday Medic, nice work mate, love your enthusiasm using the kobelco to help you with the super heavy motor, bearings and drive cog, the dozer is my favorite machine out of all the earth movers great job Medic.ππ
Loved watching you do it scale. Keep up the great videos. Thanks
Something something is the 21st priority. π
Doing it this way was really entertaining. Very relaxing just hearing the gears and tracks moving everything into place. Now the next step is to get a full scale RC excavator to work on your full scale RC skid steer lol
Cant wait to see that KOBELCO for Youtube GOLD SEASON 3β€οΈ
I enjoyed the video as I always do especially the gold rush series. One suggestion for the next time you do a repair job is place scale size workers in the videos and maybe a tool truck. Same thing goes for the gold rush. Should setup a office trailer and some campers with people to sort of add to the theme of it.
The Kobelco actually looks small next to that huge dozer!
3 hours goes past.. SCALE EVERYTHING π€πππππ
Installing the front roller with the shovel reminds me of a Yukon Gold episode. Did you have to cut the spring in it?
future loading war (yea YouTube i said 'war' do something) penalty!!
you really need Joe or Rookie there to help! You might have been crushed!
That was all extremely well done!
Yea buddy
That was great Medic. Thanks for sharing the Adventures.
What's with the excavator ?
Why do it by hand when you can do it by rc. Way to go keep it up. Love the videos
You always crack me up medic but I really do wish it was that easy in real life a D9 is a lot harder LOL
I'd gladly take your primal rc truck off your hands
That was great π
Now that's how you play with RC's lol
Great video bro keep it coming
Awesome video! The scale repair is so nice.ππΌππ»
Smart alec alarm: the dozer is a d10t and not a d9. π
i like how you used the excavator to fix the dozer… this video reminds me of when @AndrewCamarata services his equipment.
Should have done 'stop action' with action figures. Would have taken longer but.
Would love to see you do an epic RC endurance event. I'm planning myself to take my RR10 Bomber up Mount Snowdon in Wales. Will probably take about 50,000mAh to get up and down but will be worth it with a buddy running the winch. Would be great to see you do something similar as a series. All the prep videos, the planning, the pre expedition recon
I think that the work had to be much longer than if you had done with the hand π but the repair with the shovel was excellent !! Bravo !!
whats up with the snapping noise from the tracks on the Kobelco? sounds like a fold then it smacks it flat?
Two great RCs, definitely in my favorite list. Glad ypu got it fixed in a very fun way while outside is probably freezing cold π
This was fun too watch
I use to operate a backhoe and moved many things like this and I recommend uncurling your bucket and try using that small moment on the chain for more control. It will get your item higher and also less movement on the chain.
Anyways this was awesome!!
That was different π Loved it
Medic the mechanic π
Well that's having fun with RC!
very bπd
Liked it! ππ
An the dozer has not been washed since the last Season of YouTube Gold.Now imagine change the motor on the bulldozer that is few time bigger then your self. That would take some time repairing .
That's what she said 0:26 And her sister 4:49
WaS great to watch today on TV
Excellent work as per
that was sweet ass bro great job done
…and this is why you don't compete on Loading Wars!
You're damn good on those controls!
That Lesu trackhoe works sweet!
Awesome job π
Now thats a true scale way to work on the bulldozer, very entertaining way to show how its done boski
Thumb on the Kobelco would have come in handy.
yes it made my evening better very good ππ¨π¦
The excavator got a little shaky with that cab under the bucket. Surprising considering all the weight that that thing has.
So happy you made the video , It is like a little taste of youtube gold! I miss it so much
I don't know, I think a real life D8T finals is a lot easier to work on same with r&i tracks.
Why didnβt you switch out both motors at the same time and keep the old working one as a spare?
Is it YT Gold season yet? That excavator is way too clean. lol
I k how you probably put alot into this video but I'm really not a fan on any level.. takes way to long.. no real explanation, and just not working at all if you ask me. Annoying seeing thi gs fall off and trying again and again and jerking things around with the Kobelko.
Nice touch doing as much scale repair as possible π
