What construction "Kit" to get.

Welcome to the board Eddy. Been using some of your 5b stuff for a good while now.

It's hard to beat the 966 Wedico as far as capabilities and overall workhorse role. It's a pain to build, but that's why we're here to help. Mostly out of sequence instructions and you'll have to drill or countersink a bunch of holes. As Izzy said, the hardware is really small and that makes alot of fitment tricky. Nobody makes a backhoe kit, too small to cram in all the hydraulics and rc gear. (The 966 is bad enough as is)

If you're really set on tracks, what about a track loader? It definitely costs more than the Wedico, but ScaleArt makes a ridiculous Cat 963. Scaleart quality can't even be compared to Wedico in my book.

All depends on how much cash you wanna throw at it if you're not a scratch builder. Used market for this stuff is pretty much non-existent in the states.
