That is one of the best RC models that I have seen, and the guy running it seems to know what he is doing. Prolly a 10k dollar model right there.

For that kind of money they could put a little operator in the cab. Sniff. :)

That thing is probably REALLY heavy, too. Probably needs a hand truck to move it around.

Vario-Earthmovers makes the model. There is a similar following to big RC equipment as there is to model railroading. It seem more prevalent in Europe. Heres the link to that particular model. They have working hydraulic systems! http://www.vario-earthmovers.com/models ... s-470.html

Yea but you could get a bobcat 331 for the same price and have a bigger machine with a few more hours. Just don't get them into the mud, they don't have the balls to get themselves out like the bigger ones do............don't ask......

Most Inch and a half scale engines start at 300 pounds and go up. a Fully loaded steam engine can be close to 1200 pounds I would say
