Buying an Excavator

[RCP57]

It's a lot of money but cabs is right. Most of us have other toys in our garages that cost as much or more and we don't even think about it. I personally will probably never spend 6K on a kit of any kind but I have spent tens of thousands on equipment, tooling, hand tools and an inventory of parts so that I can build my own stuff. Everyone has a limit as to what they think is reasonable to spend and some of us have a harder time getting the money together for a big purchase like that so the savings matter more than the details.

pyrosrock, whatever you buy I hope it makes you smile when you operate it. That's all that really matters!

thanks guys,
because it is my first experience with any rc hydraulic equipment i thought puting feelers out to a community in the know would be a good idea,

i also thought that if i got everyone's knowledge in the one place i might be able to put it together and have the info like there is the first big rig buyers guide

me personally am not crazy into all the scale details like some people are. i just want to have some thing functional so i can enjoy my self and do some work.
