That is a company that sells them but I'm not sure if they actually make them. I bought mine second hand but is pretty much new. I can ask him if he can get more. I believe his friend from China actually makes them. I have only seen the Wedico CAT 345 in person and I must say the detail on the 390D is a lot better. Even the build and thickness of metal used which cant be seen by looking at pictures is pretty amazing. I was when I opened up the box yesterday.

True, i thought that seller might just be re-distributing rc, it would be good if you could ask , did you buy it online? or did you meet local? are you planing on making some videos? i think i've seen some videos of this model or a similar one it looks like a very smooth rc. keep us posted thanks.

I'll ask him if he can get more. I'll be making a video soon. It will be my first time operating it so it might look funny. I bought it online.

Congratulations! I hope it lives up to your expectations.

Thank you! And for all your advice! I don't have a tamiya truck handy. I need to find locals around me that do now. The next pictures i take I'll put a coke can or something next to it.

Yeah it does have more detail than a BareBones. WHAT are those guys thinking!!!!!...... Oh wait that's us.... CRAP!!!! Better get back to work!!!!

But seriously It should have more detail than a BareBones-Excavator because we sell Excavators that are "BareBones".

Watch "Cat390D RC hydraulic digging first time." on YouTube
Cat390D RC hydraulic digging first time.: http://youtu.be/jh_BrHdJDRA

I'm horrible at this. My first time digging. I start getting a hang of it after the 2:00minute mark.
I guess it helps that I've been flying trex450 helicopter since 2006.

I cant compare with other machines, but I was pretty impressed at the power. My dad at first was like "that can't dig" but when he saw it in action, he was amazed. I need to get smoother at operating and then make more videos.
