Re: Counterweight 4200XL excavator
 

Machinist is done with the new steel counter weight. Weighs a bit over 8lbs. A 5lbs gain over the aluminum one! :)

That should be a noticeable difference for sure! Time for a track drive upgrade now though...

Indeed I'm curious to see Rimrock's track upgrade mod :cool:

Looks great, I bet that will do a good difference regarding the balance)
Just missing some real track motors, and you can start some serious excavating;)
I'm getting new parts for the upgrade motors in this week, and then ready to fabricate some kits now in March, hopefully ready for sale in April) Working on getting some videos too,

Re: Counterweight 4200XL excavator
 

That's good news! I'm looking forward to seeing your kit :)

Dropped off the counter weight at the powder coater's. For anyone wanting to know the paint color code on the 4200XL excavator it's RAL 2003
