WOW!!! that's quite a pile of sand that came out of the bucket... it'd be interesting to know what the volume is (how many liters)?

The hoe operator is in need of some daily practice... you've had that 345 5yrs now?

I will figure out the capacity very soon.
I have recently pulled the excavator apart for a new pump and most of the wiring came apart at that time.
As you saw it operating, the bucket tipping was back to front. I found also that the tracks were back to front. So I had to change the wiring to the tracks and reverse channel 1. Now its back to how it should be. Hopefully I can drive it better now

Very nice paul, you did a great job on your paint application. How long did you take to build it and was it fairly easy to build?

Thankyou, The paint prep took the longest, cab and tip body also leaving the paint long enough not to spoil the finish.
I guess the total time to build would be about a week, I did the build over a longer time due to work and other issues around the house.
Yes the build was easy in comparison to any of the Wedico kits.

Hey Joe, 6Ltrs equals 11kg There was a little more room in the tipper maybe 500 grams or more.
This video I used the bigger bucket and the scales.

Thanks very much for the info. Video's are awesome. Just love the dogs sand box. Love that truck too but I think it might be a little out of my pocket books range right now.
