Very nice Ed. Are the tracks metal? And why 1/12th scale?

Yes the cats are metal and I think it will match the 14 scale tamiya tractor and trailer I am building better.Ed

To tell you the truth Steve I can't either. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Thanks Joe I appreciate it. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Add me to the list of guys who can't wait to see some more photos and your impression of this thing. It's huge. I had no idea just how huge until I read some specs and saw some build threads on one. Look how large the bucket is. One of those side walk bricks could easily fit inside the bucket! Is 70 pounds heavy enough? :D

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Thanks a lot Nathan the bucket is big but the pressure is up there 32 bars or 464 lb. I'd say that was enough. Ed

Well men I got the excavator they did a wonderful job of packaging it. The only thing that may not to be to someone's liking is the cats are made of Rubber or something like that but they won't rust. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator

Steve I am directly north of you on rout 81. I still have to set around here and wait on the dozer and loader they are coming today. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

JAMMER!!! What's the deal here man?!? We need PEEEKTURES! I am happy you got it safe and sound. I got quoted on shipping for an excavator I am looking at for 605 Euro. I almost had a heart attack. Hope you have a ton of fun with it.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Dan I only paid 160 Euro for shipping. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Well just got the dozer and loader. Not I am waiting for a set of wheels from GTD CNC from USPS and I can do something. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Who was the shipping contractor? Is your model shipped fully assembled? I am guessing this is why it is so costly to ship the model I am looking at. The quote I got was from a shipping contractor I have never heard of. Maybe I can talk them into using a different carrier. I am amazed it would cost nearly $800 dollars to ship the excavator from Seipt.

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Dan I bought mine from Vario and it was all put together. they chose the shipper Fedex. They probably do a lot of shipping through them and get a break on the shipping. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Golly! I will have to contact Seipt and see if he will be willing to ship through them. Are you sure Vario used Fedex the whole way? Sometimes the shipper changes when it enters the USA.

Dan

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Dan it was fedex all the way. Ed

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Ed, did I read this right, are you getting a CNC machine.

I see a lot of post being made on this thread but not one pic of the goodies you got in the mail to day. Lets see them, not talk about them. lol:D

Re: 1/12 Scale Excavator
 

Now Joe calm down. NO I am not getting a CNC machine I was waiting for USPS to deliver my aluminum wheels from GTD CNC. I'll bet your eyes opened wide when you saw that? I'll get some pictures tomorrow of the excavator and if you want I can get pictures of the boxes the dozer and loader came in I still have to put them together. Got a lot of irons in the fire now. I am going to have to hire a foreman to keep track of every thing, do you feel up to the job? Take care.Ed
