[Papy]

Faint of heart should just take a look but NOT read the price :rolleyes:

:eek:I read the price! Wrong move.

[Straywolf]

Read the price and also converted the price it comes to:

12,800.00 CHF = 17,063.17 USD:eek::eek:


RC Liebherr 984C Excavator at a scale of 1:14.5

Weight approx 50KG, 330mm width, 325mm height over cab, extended length 1400mm.

An external power supply (not here in the auction) to keep the power supply. By a small modification could fit a battery in the excavator. The power consumption is relatively high, it makes little sense.

There is still a sound module from vebaut Baier and the lights are switched on separately. Also installed is a Druckumschaltventil allows between 28 bar or 35 bar to choose.

For operation you need as a receiver, transmitter and power supply.

The haulers and everything else is in the background is not part of this auction!

It is only by the digger!






Nice looking excavator but i could buy a car for that much, if i was a millionare then maybe........

Beautiful model, but a little beyond what I could afford right now. That bucket is huge. It looks like three scoops would have the Bell dumper full. I guess I better stick to wanting a Vario excavator, which is also a lot of money, but a good deal, by comparison.

You can actually find a used 1:1 excavator for that price.

There was a thread somewhere else with prices like this and I thought maybe it was a typo. Well guess not, I'll just have to pick up a 1:1 scale lol, although that is a beautiful unit I could never justify that amount to the wifey..... Let me know if any of you guys could then let me know if she has a sister......

In fairness... you can find a lot of 1:1 vehicles/plant equipment for the money we have invested in the hobby! :o

Here is the build thread for it... its a well made machine, I bet the asking price divided by the hours spent making it wouldn't equate to an average wage... that said, it isn't cheap!

The Bell dumper I'm sure is also worth quite a bit as it looks as if thats the really rare and scarce model that Graupner once produced along with the Leibherr loader to go with it.

The dumper is made by these people http://www.fumotec.de/0344409abf11ada01/ same as mine.

elliot , was that not at this Show : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxYQQeb9UJ8&NR=1 ? I think I saw it loading a white terex haul truck

Guys with all the man hrs that go into these it is worth it . beside a 1:1 for that price is pretty much beat to crap :rolleyes:

[elliot330]

Ah yeah looks as you are right. I know Graupner Germany made one almost exactly like the Fumo model and it was to go with the highly rare Graupner Leibherr loader they had.

I never seen a Graupner Dumper, you often see the wheel loader on the German forums. Do you have any other info in it at all? I'm quite interested. Its a shame Graupner don't re-release the wheel loader again..
