Official XK 1/16 Scale 16800 Excavator RTR Thread

[RealityForged]

Hey guys. I had a breakdown of one of the treadmill motors(driver gearbox) on my WL16800. I'm having trouble finding the replacement part. A while ago I met at Bangood, Ali... But not anymore. Could you point me to a site to purchase?

I purchased a replacement drive motor from https://www.motionrc.com/products/hu...ft-hua1580-110

Seems to be a direct replacement. Same apparent speed and strength.

How do you remove the smoke box to allow bigger batteris to be fitted?? Any info would be much appreciated Thanks

Guys, my WL16800 arrived, I was happy and sad. Glad I was looking forward to receiving it. I was sad because in addition to a small defect, which I temporarily fixed with glue, there was still a battery missing. I bought a package that came with 3 batteries, but two came. I leave the link here for the unboxing I made of it.

I am pleading to purchase a WL 16800 as well. I even bought a Huina 1592, it is still a good low-cost excavator, but after doing a lot of research I understood that it wouldn't suit me, so I sold it and bought a Huina 1593 (it hasn't arrived yet), this one can if you buy the WL 16800. I am looking to purchase a second excavator and I was or still am in doubt between the Huina 580 and the WL 16800, already knowing the differences between them, however I believe that the WL 16800 will suit me.

The trailer has shipped! It's $69 and can be found here. The only place I could find it. They have red too but it's $10 more for some reason.

Grateful for the tip. I bought it too.

Finally, they have arrived! Have one on the way to unbox and make some videos of. Stay tuned.

Just to update on my previous port regarding the WL 16800 excavator.

After having had this model for a couple of months now I can say that it's quite awesome and I've no complaints about it.

However, five weeks ago I ordered a mains charger and spare battery from WL direct form them via their website and although they gave me a tracking number it appears from the carriers that it is still with WL. As I paid through Paypal I'm just going to claim a refund. WL do have a complete parts listing for this model if you search through their site.

For anyone who has this model already you are aware that this doesn't come with a log grabber and WL do not make one but I can confirm that the grabber for the Huina 1580 does fit this model as that's what I got.

[Coyotiando]

Can't, wait to get mine,.) All doe I had to go get 1 at banggood so hopefully it's the samething,,.) It's been passed the August time,,.(

[Ulianov]

My WL excavator arrived today and it is lovely. Works a treat. By the way, it was the cheapest price on the net.

[Ulianov]

Well, my doubts look as if they were unnecessary as I've been informed by the ParcelForce tracking that my package has now reached the UK sorting depot so hopefully I'll have my excavator soon.

[Ulianov]

I'm beginning to have doubts about having ordered this from Cheapdrones as it's now 13 days and according to the tracking it's still in China.

Anyone heard about cheapdrones.co.uk.

[Nebraska Trevor]

Well motion rc surely does not seem to have any luck in getting any. Glad to hear somebody has their hands on one!

[Danmp]

Its really awesome, and even more for the price

[Ulianov]

I ordered one of these from Cheapdrones last week which has been despatched from China. The tracking info shows it is in the hands of GLS.

I'm in the UK by the way.

[Danmp]

I had the confirmation from banggood this morning that they shipped it.

If there is no too much delay from canada post( which I highly doubt) i will receive it in 2-3 weeks.

I will post some feedback and picture when I will get it!!

[Nebraska Trevor]

Wow...400 on Amazon...I will wait for motion to get theirs! Let us know how it looks when it arrives!

[Danmp]
