Bucket still too light, need practice, need to see if my radio will allow changing modes to switch between Straight and Mixed channels.

Runs well in crumb rubber, but my "formerly crawlspace dirt" isn't very uniform. Also needs more rear bucket weight to keep it planted better. Or i need to lower the line attachments at bucket leading edge so the rear won't want to lift under tension.

I probably need to find either a Tonka dragline bucket, or get one like TheStuff has for massive 1/50 scale machines like a Silver Spade
