Hi Andreas, impressive! Been reading up on your build on the modell-baustelle forum.

I find it fantastic to share this nice Hobby with guys all other the world.

So for me it is interesting where are you from. So maybe some of you have fun to tell me where are they from.

As I told I am from nuremberg in Germany. In europe espacially Germany, Austria and Switzerland there are a lot of people doing that hobby - bulding RC construction Equipment. Maybe you know the big companies like Premacon and scaleart?

Thank you guys.

Andreas

Hello,

Thanks to all for that good feedback. The weiht is round about 180kg. The handling is not easy. Maybe I can make a actual Video driving up and down my workbench. This is always very exciting for me, because I must be very careful that the cat does not slip to one side. When this will happen I must jump away, I can not prevent it.....

Thank you for suscriping. Greetings back to Finland

180kg and I cursed my Cat 374's weigh when carrying it around, and that 's just 30kg.

Hello,

Since I am currently still waiting for parts, I let the CAT run again today. This time I filmed the ascent and descent on my workbench for you. This is always a really exciting thing for me. If the excavator starts to slide here, I can only jump to the side ....
But everything went well again this time. I only fear the aluminum ramps will not survive forever. But see for yourself …
