Virtualmaker Luca excavator
 

A 1/14th scale excavator built by the guy with the huge, beautiful 359 peterbuilt we've all seen.

Looks like a front shovel bucket on a excavator?:confused:

Really nice model. Of course, I'm a Komatsu guy so it's easy for me to like it. Interesting bucket - I've not seen one like that before but I have seen unusual attachments and machine configurations in Europe that we'll never see here. I presume the machine is scratch-built? Is there a build link anywhere?

You don't see many backhoes or excavators with 4 n 1 buckets. The U S Army had some on they're older John Deere backhoes.

Maybe I'm bias now because I own one and don't know any better but the nice thing about the 4200xl from Rc4wd is it's all set up and RTR. Just don't touch the radio settings! :eek::D:lol:

Seriously, plug in a battery, turn on the radio and dig! If you run into trouble there's enough of us on the forum to help you out. ;):)

I can't forget my bruder loader though. My first intro to equipment and I love it!
