Hey Everyone, I've been reading and searching through these forums for a couple of years now, and figured it was about time I introduced myself.

My family owns a 1:1 excavation company and the one thing that drew me into it was the equipment. I love operating the real stuff and when I found out about the RC versions I couldn't stay away. The projects on the forums are incredible. The machining, detail, and functionality you guys achieve blows me away.

After all this time of looking I finally decided to take the plunge. I've decided to start with an excavator and a truck. I wish I could build them myself but currently I'm looking for a good kit.

I was set on a Vario JD 850 but after contacting Frank from Fumotec, he informed me about his problems exporting to the US. He said he hoped to have it resolved in 8-10 weeks. So now I'm deciding whether to go with a Premacon or wait for Fumotec.

Either way I hope I'll have a build to share with you in the future, and in the meantime I'll keep admiring all the ones on the boards.
