I guess if it was 1/14 scale id have different feelings about it

Don't be too naive Aaron. Have any idea how much stuff myself and others had to rework on the Wedico 966 to "make it right"? Probably just as much if not more than it would take on one of these. I'd say the Liebherr 576 Loader is as close as anyone could get for the highest grade kit offered at this time. Even ScaleArt stuff needs a bit of debugging to get them just right. The hydraulic system is pretty solid (but Wedico doesn't make that part).

I was extremely surprised to see the cost of this kit exceed the excavator. Must have had more development costs considering a loader is a less complicated machine. Especially since they used some existing components from the dumper.

I wish they would state if the axles are locked full-time or are lockable via remote channel.
