Re: hello from vancouver bc canada
 

that seems to be the most popular excavator lately. dieselchopper has one. going to go play with it at model engineering show today lol.

they are okay. they leak some. electric over hydraulic. youtube it and see what you can find. also djmedic on youtube aka RC sparks has one and did a couple videos with it and the 8x8

Welcome Jack
I would hold off on the RC4WD purchase as there are some better choices out there. We should get together and talk

Welcome to the forum! Nice to see another BC guy on here. Someone on the island has a scratch built excavator for sale for less than the RC4WD unit. I'm sure Greg can fill you in on that if you contact him.
