malcy_p Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hello...! Yep - I made my own RC 600, not too difficult as all the bits are available from RC model shops or e-bay etc. If you feel like giving it a go let me know - happy to share the details! Although I do have an electronics degree, anyone could do it really..... Photos and videos linked from the page Joe listed. I was going to make a RC Jaguar model, but having made the Lexion come to life, it's a case of 'been there, done that'!! Anyway, any questions, just ask. /malc.

malcy_p Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 You better build a chopper unit and blower which will actually work then Malc, you know just to be different Hmmmmm..... well you *could* use one of those USB vacuum cleaners for the blower unit, and duct it to a pick up header unit....

dangray21 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 hey, all Malcs lexion rocks, been building mine for a while, got tthe forward/reverse left and right, header up an down. got lights do do when i can figure our the rc side of the switch and having trouble with the unloading auger speed. apart from that is definatly looking the part. have a go, its rather easy when you think about it.

malcy_p Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hi Dan, Good work with your Lexion mate, I too have the issue of the, err, slightly overly quick discharge auger. Not much you can do about that really... The RC switch connects directly to one channel on your receiver, and provides two on/off outputs so that on mine when you move the right hand joystick they go on and off. For example, moving the joy stick to the right turns switch one on. Moving it right again turns switch one off again. Moving the joystick left turns switch two on, and then moving it again off. The wiring looks like this... Good luck, and you'll have to post some photos...! /malc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Pyeeew! That shows how much I know about wiring, I thought that was arrivals at Bristol Airport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 with the unloading auger, couldnt you gear it down to slow it up? or belt drive it with different size wheels?? seen that done with the tamiya rc tanks to slow the action, its almost a sort on mini gearbox under them from one drive gog, its geared down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 @Tractorman810 - the unloading auger is driven by a servo motor, directly connected esentially using the servo arm as a bell crank - so no chance for gearing. The servo turns 90 degrees, as does the discharge tube. Tried using a smaller less powerful servo, but then the tube only swung about 75 degrees - which is worse! No room for a gearbox/motor, it's pretty tight in there with all the other stuff! @Deere-est - Never work for Air traffic Control, ok???

dangray21 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hey Malc, Cheers for that diagram. should help me out alot. Ive got 4 RC shops trying to figur out how to slow down the auger so if i have any luck i'll post up. totally agree with the concept of no room. it is tight in there once you've added all ther servos for drive/control/lift etc. i was lucky that i had used a motor and gear box from the siku rc john deere,which saved me a fair bit of space. but its all trial and error. there are no right ways or wrong ways to do things when building custom rc models. once i can get hold of the tracked rc deere from siku then that will be modded to a 9530 chassis with improved hitch and custom solo app. should look good when i can get it done.

ihatepoundland Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I've seen electronic servo slow devices before that plug in between the receiver and the servo, would that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 £838?? :o And it looks a bit naff on those giant wheels in my opinion (nearly put IMO then, close call) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangray21 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 At the moment no ones sure with the go slow units.I've tried two of them but they dont like working for some reason. somone suggested that because the r/c unit is working at 2.4ghz the unit doesnt reconise the signal.also tried reducing the voltage with a resistor but that didnt work either. i mite look into building a control board when i get time. Liking the class on ebay, although not sure itd cost that to make. is it r/c or just lighted? really shoould learn german seeing as its mostly them who do some great r/c models.

catkom3 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 There's a video of it,the whole blincking thing is motorised and lit,the reel even rotates,but only when it's going forward,not in reverse,very clever,http://www.myvideo.de/watch/6007216/Claas_Tucano_450 Regards Joe.
