ok what rc digger should a beginer buy

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

Looks like to be a competitor to premacon so i suppose about the same. Maybe various prices on various models - base, base + pack 1 etc.


no doubt he will judge reactions from the show and determine demand and price. of course he already knows of a price, its just about how much more you can get


when i saw it earlier today i was meh, but now it is growing on me

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

whats the price

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

I'm moist. I like it!

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

Moist is an understatement!!!!! I would love to buy this one for sure love Komatsu machines.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

WOW the reach looks nice and I see he already has lines ran for additional attachments.. Any word on what those will be?

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

Another nice machine from Frank. It's good to see him release something a little smaller then his first excavators. A little more practical for smaller operations! How come we haven't seen or heard much about his Komatsu WA500-6? It's been released, and you can buy it now, but there seems to be very little information (no builds) or video footage of it on the web.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

Frank told me the reach was 1100mm (300mm less than JD/Hitachi) and 44 lbs is certainly more reasonable to cart around.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

44 pounds? This one is still a plenty large machine then!

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

Thanks for posting, Its great to finally see after hearing all about it from Joe. And its half the weight of the Vario, which Joe complains about is so heavy...:D Maybe this is more your size Joe. Easier to carry up and down those stairs?;)

Id like to see a picture of it next to a 1/14 Truck to get a feel for the size. I wonder how powerful the arm is? Id like to get an excavator that is a tad smaller than the Vario, which im still seriously considering, just for the ability to load a dump truck and be able to move dirt around in the box without destroying the truck like Godzilla... Godzilla=Vario.

CDM, you crack me up, Damitz " we might sell you one, eventually....." lol. You are not kidding.
The 490 looks nice and I'm sure it will be strong, I just hope it's gonna be offered with some more scale and detail add ons, as of now it looks like diet food in my opinion.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

Nice for you Dan to be at that show!

I think Fumotec (Frank) will be in the Komatsu stand, i think thats what he said to me. Remember to take at least 1000 pics for us! :)

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

Yep,please take plenty of pics and vids . Cool that you will be at one of the biggest shows around.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu PC490-10
 

I noticed that now Fank decided on metal tracks for the komatsu. The model looks beautiful and I wondering what kind drive system he put on it. Would be nice see it with some hydraulic motors.
