Hope this helps.

Cheers,

hey thanks! the first video helped alot. i have not seen that one yet. the second was a different style, i dont think i will build that one. i dont really like the way it dumps(personal preference) i dont like the "click" and then it dumps. the style in the first video interests me because i think its clever how the boom, stick, and bucket can be controlled all by cable.

would like to know some more info on the cable setups. how they work, what pulleys do what, how the operator controls it, etc. as well as some more pics/videos
