Anyone have a side by side comparison between vario earth mover and rc4wd 4200xl ? The size? Metal tracks or plastic? Weight? Etc? I looked it up but no luck. Thanks.

Look through Joe's thread. I'm pretty sure has a side by side comparison between those two and one other. I have no idea what page to look at though...

Here is one that I think will beat both of them.

Very interesting! Would make an awesome load on the right lowboy, how broke down of coarse.

My Vario weighs 110 pounds, 4200XL is right around 50.

Plastic tracks on the vario, metal on the 4200XL.

Wow, 110 pounds, I thought they were around 80. I would have thought for that price you would get metal tracks.

It wouldn't offer any improvement in function. Only make the beast heavier which it doesn't need.

That is a great side by side comparison. Besides showing the difference in size and reach, It really showcases the mechanical advantage of the heavier machine.
