My new favorite RC channel.

I can and do spend hours watching these guys videos. Need to win the lottery so I can get into this side of the hobby

Wow those are some incredible pieces. The love the scale looks and even the environment he sets up for them looks good.

 

[slowngreen]

If you had the room and the money, that would be far more fun than a scale train setup imo. Pricey though, one of the loaders with radio and lipo is around $2k.

Wow! That is a LOT of video! They Def have some unbelievable trucks there! There is a LOT of money on those vids! Cool channel!

I ran heavy equipment for about 9 years before going back to school. My great Grandfather actually owned his own company, so I was getting on that stuff with him and my Grandpa from the time I was big enough to beg to play with the big bulldozer in the big sandbox. I really wanted an RC piece of equipment until I started looking at prices. The trackhoe I wanted was six grand. There's a vid somewhere of a guy that dug out his basement with RC's over a number of years, and hauled it out with RC trucks.

EDIT: Here ya go kids!

Yah, I used to run a couple pretty good sized front end loaders... An old Mack too... I miss those trucks! $6k is a lil crazy... But hey, if that's what makes you smile...

 

[slowngreen]

Biggest front end loader I've ran is a Case 821, not huge but big enough to be lots of fun.

 

[Certified Mike]

I can't believe he did the whole basement like that!

Yeah, ours were a couple of older Deere 644's ...maybe a lil larger than the Case, but not by a lot. They were Def fun to run and they Def got the job done!

 

[HPIguy]

Yep, I've operated an 821. Lots of trackhoes, dozers, scrapers, rubber tire backhoes, etc. When I did industrial clearing and had to re-rake a job, I loved having a Cat 935 track loader with a rake, the way you could slightly lift and "shake" the brush, the dirt just fell out. You could run rings around a dozer with a rake on it.
