Re: Bucyrus Erie 40H Excavator 1:14

What would be a good radio for this model?

Re: Bucyrus Erie 40H Excavator 1:14

Most of the time, I will drill and ream the holes and then machine away the material.

Re: Bucyrus Erie 40H Excavator 1:14

It really depends on your skill level and access to equipment. If you enjoy building, I would get a few model kits and progress to making from scratch.
Hope this helps.
