oh nice I'm running 12v so I got the other one 30 mm tall and that is my biggest issue I'm not sure that will even fit... I'll just use it in my next one I buy if it doesn't fit

Uses Turnigy 14.8v 5000mah lipo from hobbyking. However the Pc700 comes with an adjustable step down regulator set to 12v in order to run the 2 fans, lights, etc...

The Tarr is pretty small as well.

Haven't practiced in awhile so took advantage of Memorial Day. Digging in hard dirt. You can hear the bucket teeth scrapping.

Beautiful models and a rather big playground

Just finished installing SMB servonaut sound module. I'm still finalizing the mixing rates to get the appropriate noise at the right time. It's been a challenge.

Figured out how to post with Flickr thanks to member Frizzen.
This was my first time seeing RC4wd products in person (besides all the youtube videos). I never realized how much smaller rc4wd excavators were compared to the PC700.
So I took several photos from different angles just to get an idea of the size differences.

[liftmys10]

RC4wd asked me if I can put a towel so it wont scratch the new trailer with the 91lbs PC700 The trailer is built very strong. It was perfect for the PC700.









I should have narrowed the trailer for the CAT740

[liftmys10]

And an added bonus!! Enjoy! Happy thanksgiving.

Great shots Shawn! The PC700 excavator seems to be the only excavator capable of loading RC4WD mining truck withouth the need of being elevated higher up.

Well, no room for a PC700 in the basement
