Fumotec 490

Yes, that manual needs some reading to make sense of it. Took me a while too to get the tracks working properly.

By the time you have the whole excavator assembled you are looking at a good 20kg. Not the easiest thing to carry around. Already put a couple of nice dings in the doors here.

Due to buying a house and having to move, I've hardly touched the excavator but this last week or so I found some time to continue on with it
I wanted all my electrics to be in one place and be as neat as possibly so I built this



The slew, pump and aux ESC are mounted at the bottom, then the top part has points for positive and negative connections. My receiver will be mounted to the top part as well.

A general look over the machine





I'm still waiting on a battery, trying to find a good quality Lipo which is suitable for my machine hasn't been easy, also buying from Europe seems to impossible due to laws preventing postage. So i'm just waiting on someone getting back to me next week about one which will hopefully do the job
