Magom HRC Excavator

[chris deacon]

has anyone here had any experience with the Magom HRC excavator at all? I would be interested to here some feed back about them as i am thinking of buying one myself as my first excavator.
Cheers Chris

It's actually a well built rc excavator to a reasonable price. The main drawback I would say is that the pumpmotor makes quite much noise, and standard pump/engine unit gets very hot. I've heard there is an optional brushless motor thats better, but I don't know the details. Should be possible to install a fan and make some ventilation holes in the thing. It's possible to ask the company some questions, they have pretty good scustomerservice I've heard. Based in Spain. The Cat excavator is based on plastic toy in scale 1:16, but the HRC model has many custom made metal parts, I guess roughly that just the cabin and engine cover is plastic.
