The Egli Company have been producing RC equipment since 2000. Great, powerful, all-metal models.

The hydraulics are 100% reliable and can be used at high pressure (70 bars/1000 psi tested)

There are only 2 bad points :

-the models are rather expensive, particularly with the current $/CHF exchange rate

-and.......Rüdi only speaks german.....well, in fact, not exactly german, but "schwytzertütsche". And I can tell you that's not easy to handle

I particularly recommend there pressure relief valve, as it is silent and designed to minimise oil heat up during operation.

Man they do some sweet work but i was converting what it would be in us dollars and was floored It seems if i am right they use swiss franks? if so it came out to be:

10,650.00 CHF = 14,162.19 USD

It would take me years to save up that much.

Well i did find that if i put a few dollars more, for 14,500 i could get one of these:





BUT i think the apartments where i live would kinda frown down on me when i went to play in the sandbox

I would need more then that. Because once I bought that I would have to pay for a divorce right after she found out how much it cost.

I find the satisfaction of building my own cannot be purchased. Be they kit, conversion or scratch built. I have built golf carts ranging in price from $2000 to $17000 and still feel like a kid again when the client test drives it and comes back with that big grin.
