Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

Recently treated myself to this RC model. It comes in various versions of completion but I picked the full metal unit and hydraulic system for it which left me with adding electronics, radio, final assambly and painting.

So here's some pictures

Oh, it doesn't look like it will be that fun, I think you would be better off returning it before it gets dirty. :p

On a serious note, thanks for the nice pictures! Neat to see what to expect out of the box on this sort of thing!;)

As I review the photos, I have a question. How do the pins in the tracks go in and out? I can't tell if they are threaded bolts or pins or what? Thanks!

Thanks for posting these pictures. It is nice to see what the actual kit looks like. Keep us updated!

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

WOW nice kit. Going to give you loads of fun building and then mucking about!

Love the slewing mechanism they have build in there.

Hi Jim,

Tracks are held together with a pin and c clip. I try take some close up pictures.

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

Looks pretty cool, what was the total cost including postage to UK? Also I'm from the UK too, which part are you from?

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

how big a machine is it? cat 320,345

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

Worked out £1307 with shipping then credit card hit me with £38 for not buying in £ :mad:

Took just under 2 weeks from order to dispatch then 1 week to deliver.

I'm West Yorkshire, what about you?

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

Not certain what size it's trying to replicate.

dimensions are on bottom of this page http://www.magomhrc.com/en/mg-14-met...vator-kit.html

I'm planning on painting it like a Hitachi ZX350

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

ive asked mongom 3 times what model it is
but never got a answer. my kat is a wedico 345
knock off.

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

Cool, I'm Lancashire so practically just over the field :) Keen to see some pics once its been pained as I'm a fan of the Vario Hitachi and this one looks like it will be very similar. Be great to get a dig going in the garden some time. :cool:

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

At moment they seem slow at answering emails. I Last emailed them Friday and got a reply Tuesday saying they really busy at the moment and vaguely answered my questions.

My guess is it is a upscaled bruder cat excavator.

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

:) yeah not far. Painting not my best point so really hope can do a good job.

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

Okay not the most scientific method but compared pictures of the cat 320 & 345 and I recon this is more 345

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
 

Nice! They are really getting better and better! I love that it takes less than a week to ship across the ocean and to my door step here in oregon. but please some info on the tracks i am serious about buying them apposed to building some? And a quick measurement of the drive sprockets please! I love the new look! You think its the sane rams as before just with bigger inlet and outlets? Mine are 3mm still. keep the pics comin and abd info on how well its built!

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4

Great pictures I've been considering this model or the Eagle machinery 4200xl excavator. The price is good at 2082$ in kit form with electronics.

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4

Re: Metal Excavator - Magom HRC MG1.4
