RC Claas Combine havester.

[boatman]

Well, looking at my screenshot the first two are eBay and the cheapest. Now EBay do take PayPal. Which is why I don't use eBay as it was through PayPal I was scammed. (They allowed some A-Hole to empty my credit card then said they weren't responsible). Now my credit card company - refunded all my cash that was scammed and indeed it was them who drew my attention to the scam initially!!)
So for me - PayPal - no chance.
Credit Card - yes thank you. At least CC companies honour the financial guidelines!!!

WELL Doug im sorry to hear paypal let you get scammed but they treid to scam me the A-H*LES DID but as i dont bank online an have nothing in my paypal account they dint get nothin from me an ive just seen it on ebay for a 160 quid but jen says wait till i go to a big farm show soon an i may see one there in the flesh so i can get a good look at it an maybe cheaper as i love to haggle on a price

If you want a big build I think you'll be disappointed with a 1/32 combine.
Large? Well for a toy but to convert one to RC, I think a bit on the small side. Making the one shown work...
You can get some big tractors in 1/16 scale you can convert but not a lot of building in those either.
Now a 1/4 or a 1/6 scale tank or armoured car all in metal and full RC... I can see you enjoy building one of those...

HI Ian an all you guys well im opting to build a combine in 1/16 scale as i think i can fit in the motors an micro servos to work things an have now ordered a 1/16 scale brittens tractor with a muck loader on an sound systems an its about the right size i want as 1/6 or 1/4 scale will be to big so when it comes i can strip it down an as jen said i can use the cab off it to fit on the combine if i can build it but i will need a lot more info like what shape the chassis to build it in brass box section an other parts as i can build them from plasti card but this all may work out or it may not we will see but its given me a challenge again

HI Jim well this is something ive always wanted to build as ive seen small ranssome drums for thresshin corn an the gent made his all work so that it shows its all possible to make an work all i need is the info on a claas or john deere combine as one of the guys said contact claas or a combine maker but my p/c wont send out an email it does not know for surcurity i think so unless they email me then my p/c will send so a catch 22 situtaion really but i'll keep lookin on line or as jen said when she at a car boot sale get a toy model an scale it up an they normaly sell for about 50p so not dear an this is goin to be a fairly long build as i will have to think it all through to how it will all work but at least i have a start on that trackor as its got the wheels i need an the cab an the hyrolics rams an sound system an it was only 15quid so thats made me happy but thats all the challenge to see if i can build one
cheers ATB

Chris, I know a couple of local farm boys who have big green muddy 'fings' - if you're stumped I'll approach them to see if they're prepared to let me photograph and measure said 'fingies' - can't promise but no harm in asking!

Chris,
Spoken to my farmer mates locally - all have huge Masseys unfortunately - they suggested contacting CLAAS and purchasing a tech manual. If you decide on a Massey they're happy to help! Sorry mate :disappointed2:

If you let me know which ones I'll enlarge them for you. Or if it were me I'd probably find someone with a printer to print the lot.
