Re: Toprace211/Huina 1550 upgrade

"So i got this thing... then it tripped... Here's a box of parts"

Re: Shovel mechanics

How much angle do you need it to travel?
Where do you have room to hide a servo...

Re: Ford Custom Deluxe station wagon - 1950 Woody

Thanks jerry, i think the 1/16 figures look about right for for ordering off the food truck, the Bruder and some other asian figures look pretty happy with it. Though the 1/12 or 1/14 guys might not...

Re: Are you greasing the pivots of your excavator?
