Default Re: BareBones Excavators

They should have just made it a 1500$ conversion kit for the 4200XL digger.... then it would sell like hot pockets given how many 4200 are in the states.

The 4200 system is easily strong enough to run something 2x its size. Perhaps a regearing of the track motors but all else is pretty much capable. This would basically fix the main issues with the 4200 - hydros way too big for the model and model way too small/light for the hydros. 2600+1500 still puts you at a fraction of what a true 1/12 or 1/10 custom built rig would run you.

But instead they basically made a huge diecast model. ok... . good luck with that

Now they are trying to make new products with the hope of getting customers without finishing the old projects. reminds me of custom knive makers..
