hobby engine crawler crane

[igotit]

after seeing some of the great builds here....I really cant compete with you guys....lol.
heres a crawler crane project im getting into.

its size is bigger than I thought.the battery is smaller than I thought...lol
I load tested it right out the box,holds about 1lb boomed all the way down (about 30 degrees)

surprisingly.....its better than I expected...operation wise.
power is on the weak side,tracks are fast.run time without traveling is around 20 mins with a small 7.2 v nimh 800 mah.

its a lot of fun.i cant wait to upgrade it all to have power,add counter weight,build some blocks,a pile driving rig...ect.

best $130 I ever spent.
