Looks like three hydraulic pumps to supply the tracks, swing & boom/stick/bucket.

Did you see anywhere Kalle what its intended weight might be or what it is currently?

Yea thats what i tought as well, but from what i can see the swing will be electrical driven, not sure tho.

It said it would be around the 380-400kg! :eek: Hows that for a spine breaker? :)

This build needs more attention imo, here is some videos of it, would be nice to see it working with a lil more experianced operator though! :)

I think its an amazing build.

Wish it was diesel powered! Nice size.

Cheer's, Neil.

It seems underpowered! Or the pressure is set way too high.

I notice the ppl who struggle the most to operate these multi-function models are the same ones that use 2 or 3 fingers on each stick, such limited, slow movement.. yes I see the op is a young'n, but even at his age he should pick up on it very quickly.

I think he got the throttle quite low so the hydraulics wont be so fast for the little guy, in one video he turns the trottle up and its not underpowered! :)

Na, i think its quite hard for a guy that age to get used to it in such a short of time, my sisters oldest kid have run my 470 and he is about the same age as the kid in the video, he sure was a quick learner but that "fine tuning" of running a rc excavator was hard for him or he probably didnt even think about running it smooth, it was just fun to dig! :)

I would really like to see the builder of this machine operate it to see a little more what it can do. Im pretty sure there is no problems to operate it if you know a little how to operate an excavator.

I've been watching this build for a while too and it's amazing. I think it would be really hard for the little guy to hold the controller and the sticks at the same time because his hands are small. I'm sure he will get it figured out in no time and have holes all over the yard!
