What does this all metal Magom have for drivetrain?
And how much does it weigh?

The problem with Bruder conversions is that the plastic body makes it too light for good digging traction.
Most Utubes show the Bruder's working hard digging to come up with 1/2 a bucket, whereas the heavyweight Eagle just walks right in and digs a full bucket without breaking a sweat.
I believe Magom's new FEL is 1/16 just like the Bruder one but in all metal instead. If that's the case there's quite a big difference in size & weight to Eagle's 870k. Borrowed this picture from Andy on here.
