Hello Everyone I have always wanted to do this since the first time i saw an RC hydraulic excavator almost 10 years ago!!! I was finally able to purchase my own excavator and turn it into my first love a Hitachi 870 after that I set forth making a place to dig in my basement so I could "go down stairs and dig" lol

so without further adieu the new dsd work site is NOW OPEN!
Video of the work site here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8dq1Sq25-z8Gkd7JYkSK2w

9 bags was not enough so I went back and bought 8 more but they were frozen!

I'm jealous! I want an indoor work area. Washington state weather this time of year don't allow fir much outside playtime.

Catchy name :cool:

Do you have the room for "satellite" boxes that you could connect with sky bridges?

What's the dimensions (metric) of that cab you used?

I do have the room I just need to clean some boxes out and then clear it with the wife:rolleyes: That's a great idea to connect them with bridges.

As for the cab I'm still brushing up on my metric but here is the dimension I have in inches Length: 5 inches Width: 2 1/2 inches Height; 4 inches.

Here is the toy I took the cab from

Man, great name to the worksite! Where's the swale for party fouls bending over to replace batts or move machines?
