| RC Construction Equipment
I'm looking into getting an RC excavator. I've been interested in them and their 1:1 counterpart for years now, and I'd like to see what's out there. I'm not really interested in a "toy" model, I do want something that would actually be capable of digging. I am not sure yet what I'm willing to spend, but I do know they aren't cheap. Is anyone on this forum into this, or might be able to recommend a forum I could join that specializes in this? Thanks! |

I've been looking at the Lesu Komatsu (I'd prefer a Komatsu if possible, but I'm not making that a requirement). It looks to be around 4000 for the unpainted kit. | |

Lesu makes great stuff. Not inexpensive but quality, even hydraulic fluid controls. Check out RC Sparks channel on you tube https://youtu.be/bbVawvL4k_A Hang up and Drive |

i would realy like some construction equipment but all i find is.1/14 scale i was thinking buying a toy model and then recreating it.in 1/8 scale i plan to start with a semi first though i have started gathering parts already but the axles add up really fast so all i have so far is a front axle lol i figure ill start with the easyer one the excavator would be a hole lot of work but i realy want to give it.a.try someday lol |

Thanks for the information guys. From my research this far, 1/14 seems to be the "standard" for construction equipment. I don't know if anyone else in my area is in to this, but I'd kinda want to keep the scales similar. |

Yeah that makes sense. A 1/8 excavator would be awesome!
