Virtualmaker Luca excavator

[Supermario]

A 1/14th scale excavator built by the guy with the huge, beautiful 359 peterbuilt we've all seen.

Looks like a front shovel bucket on a excavator?

Really nice model. Of course, I'm a Komatsu guy so it's easy for me to like it. Interesting bucket - I've not seen one like that before but I have seen unusual attachments and machine configurations in Europe that we'll never see here. I presume the machine is scratch-built? Is there a build link anywhere?

You don't see many backhoes or excavators with 4 n 1 buckets. The U S Army had some on they're older John Deere backhoes.

Maybe I'm bias now because I own one and don't know any better but the nice thing about the 4200xl from Rc4wd is it's all set up and RTR. Just don't touch the radio settings!

Seriously, plug in a battery, turn on the radio and dig! If you run into trouble there's enough of us on the forum to help you out.

I can't forget my bruder loader though. My first intro to equipment and I love it!
