Default Re: 1250$ 1/12 Scale RC Hydraulic Loader METAL and RTR

It' s a quite new model and I haven't seen any in operation, or seen any reviews. see they have a new dozer out also. Same fabricator as the 'KAT' excavator, that are in aluminium. I would say it's good if it's all steel, which make it more sturdy. It's a good price, one does not take any big risk cost vice. The 'biggest issue' here is probably the hydraulics, one should not have to high expectations in this price range. Generally check all screws regarding hydraulic fittings and so on before first trial run...In this price range they don't spend too much time controlling and checking before shipment. Just drive on until things possible start leaking too much, and then replace it with e.g German hydraulics, like Leimbach (no point in putting too much energy in getting hydraulic replacement parts from the supplier, just go for better stuff at once from other sources. even if one have to put in another 5-600 USD to make it run great one still got a relative cheep machine)
