Default Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4

Recently treated myself to this RC model. It comes in various versions of completion but I picked the full metal unit and hydraulic system for it which left me with adding electronics, radio, final assambly and painting.

So here's some pictures


























































So had to take to bits to paint





Hopefully next pictures will have paint on.

Oh, it doesn't look like it will be that fun, I think you would be better off returning it before it gets dirty.

On a serious note, thanks for the nice pictures! Neat to see what to expect out of the box on this sort of thing!

As I review the photos, I have a question. How do the pins in the tracks go in and out? I can't tell if they are threaded bolts or pins or what? Thanks!

Jim

Not certain what size it's trying to replicate.

dimensions are on bottom of this page http://www.magomhrc.com/en/mg-14-met...vator-kit.html

I'm planning on painting it like a Hitachi ZX350

Cool, I'm Lancashire so practically just over the field Keen to see some pics once its been pained as I'm a fan of the Vario Hitachi and this one looks like it will be very similar. Be great to get a dig going in the garden some time.

At moment they seem slow at answering emails. I Last emailed them Friday and got a reply Tuesday saying they really busy at the moment and vaguely answered my questions.

My guess is it is a upscaled bruder cat excavator.

Great pictures I've been considering this model or the Eagle machinery 4200xl excavator. The price is good at 2082$ in kit form with electronics.
