With 1 price tag less then $2000 with some other things in my shopping cart from the same place , it's hard for me to spend the time building the base model . I got a whole day into 1st op on track links for 2 excavators . And that was the easy part

now to put 460 back in 2x2 for 2nd op and 1x1 for 3rd op


. not to mention I got 7 construction models on the bench in various stages of assembly


. So I'd rather have a kit model for a change in scenery for once .
edit : I priced that without the electrics and lift components. I plan to put my own setup in
