Got the optical isolators, and got them installed. Had to reconnect the power wire from the ESCs, since that is how the outer side of the isolator is powered, the wire had been snipped on each speed control so only one would power the receiver. Hooked all six up, and NO glitching anymore!! So, now can button up everything, do final wire bundles so the cab will go on and off easy. Should be digging in a couple of days, video to follow then! And after that, almost ready to start the Mann steam wagon project....

Looking great Chris, and digging! I'd be on clump patrol re the elves and the kitty litter . You do know that the clumps can be fired from various rubber powered devices at the perps, right? Even better, now you have a means of cleaning up aftwerward!My spidey sense detected a length of copper pipe to the left of the frame in the vid. Could this be first evidence in your shop of that elusive species Mannus Boilerus?
Chris,The excavator looks great! But putting the shop elves behind the controls, have you taken your temp recently? Or did you leave the door open so he could hop in?Art
