And now, moment of truth...all system in place, time for full hyd test...see video below.

So satisfying as all functions are running per my expectation, the hyd movement should be smoother as we exercising this unit more often, as the o-rings and seals are yet to be fully intact/seasoned. Main cabin cover is now under final touch up on powder coating while second excavator unit is going to be ready fast..Pls note, the digging park is just a small end corner of a flatbed lorry, not much space here...still it runs ok....need more sand here.!! Looks shakky a bit due to poor terrain condition/stiff slop and cabin counter-balance weight is yet to install at the back of the main cabin...should be dead stable...this 50kg monster...I hope

Pls comment my dear master, i need input here to improve further, if any..
Below is my customized radio, can do up to 10channels...4 sticks, 2.4GHz!

You are right, i think of no other way to mimic real machine does, so i'd combined 2 6Ch 2.4GHz radio...it's 12Ch then now i realized...few other function and switches that i can add on....thumb knob wheel drive on top left is actually controlling the engine throttle (aka motor for the hyd pump) which i can start/stop or increase/decrease independently..running at 15 to 25bar now.

i hate to see it without the main cabin cover, 1 week or so to be ready..while second unit is coming on very fast..exact carbon copy of this one...so i'll have partner to play it now...plus the VOLVO dumper truck..
