It's a cute little guy, that's for sure. Unfortunately, I don't have any insight as to them.

I do however, have a whole buttload of pallets here that are in need of a forklift. ;)

Paul, I am pretty sure the Carson one is the one that Willy modified and had some info on his website but his site is a little difficult to navigate.

Paul,

I've been looking at those on the web also. It appears to be an upgraded and RTR version of the Robbe forklift Willy has. His was the older kit-built version and is a blast to drive, I've used it a bunch at Indy. It seems very durable as long as you don't lift too much weight. If the rear wheels stay on the ground, you're good. My only concern would be run-time with the supplied battery but that could be fixed if needed.

I too have been looking at these, they look really good for the money. Come with a 6 channel 2.4 ghz radio. usually the cheapest prices for carson stuff is from German retailersbut I haven't found any that are much cheaper than fusion hobbies. I say go for it! Would add a whole new dimension to rc trucking with the loading/unloading thing going on. Could provide hours of entertainment!

hey i have tested one of these carson forklifts
and it will provide hours of fun loading and unloading trucks.
it can lift about 200-250 grams.
not the strongest but a lot better than not owning anything at all:)

I wouldnt mind having one of these i have a cheapo 20 dollar one and it gets the job done but is it worth it to upgrade to this one?

Hi Dennis ,
That isn’t the Robbe forklift , ( even thought similar looks ) mine ( which you been having fun with all these years ) is an old Dicki , which is also Tamiya Germany , Carson etc ….
And yes , from the looks on Carsons website and videos it seams like they basically did what I had done several years ago to the original Dicki fork-truck , but with different mechanics and nice touch with the 2.4Ghz radio system .
Here is a link from the “good old days” ( Lol ) before the first Indy truck show :
http://customrcmodels.com/id10.htm (http://customrcmodels.com/id10.htm)
in the meantime I added additional gear-reductions to the drive-wheels ,
which gives this fork-truck the wider stand on the front axle and better drivability
and here in this video from last year ( starting at 4min 20 sec ) you see Dennis having it’s fun with it :

it’s obvious , what Carson did here , they used the same molds from the old Dicki fork-truck for this new updated model
