Hi, new to this and need help please!!

Hi Everyone out there :D

Been looking at the excavators supplied by RC4WD in San Jose CA.
Has anyone out there had any dealings with these? Good or bad?
It's kind of difficult making an expensive decision like this based on a website page and a few emails!!
I'd really appreciate some feedback from guys on here who have had hands on experience.
Thanks in advance

Lil Giants (Joe) has the most experience if any one on here that I know of. Take a look at his thread, He has at least three different excavators from different company's.

Joe has already answered this exact question somewhere. He said he had nothing but problems with his since he got it, but a friend of his got the newer version of the HK excavator and so far so good. So for the price I don't think you can complain, as a good used german one will set you back at least $4k.
