The king has got to be a Canadian gent called Joe. This guy has become famous for using scale excavators, loading shovels and dumpers to dig out his basement. He has documented his progress on the scale 4×4 forum and it makes for interesting reading. Check out his videos and […] The king of RC MachineryMay 20, 2013 in Large Scale RC Models tagged RC Digger / RC Excavator / RC Loader / RC Loading Shovel / RC Lorry / RC Mining / WEDICO by RC Tractor Guy
Here is an example of a perfectly built 1:14 scale radio controlled excavator. I’m not sure if this was a kit or a scratch built model but it definitely looks good. You can see that it has real hydraulics because the motions are so smooth. If there is anyone out […] Heavy Duty 1:14 Scale ExcavatorMay 18, 2013 in Large Scale RC Models tagged RC Excavator / Video by RC Tractor Guy
Here is a video of a Wedico RC Loading Shovel in action. Wedico make high quality 1:14 scale radio controlled trucks and a few construction vehicles. The large scale of these models allows Wedico to use real hydraulics for different parts of their vehicles which gives them much more realistic […] Wedico RC Loader in actionMay 16, 2013 in Large Scale RC Models tagged RC Loading Shovel / RC Wheel Loader / Real Hydraulics / Video / WEDICO by RC Tractor Guy
Here is a great example of what you can do when you choose to build a very large scale model. This model clearly is hydraulic and judging by the size probably has power close to a 3.5 ton excavator, it certainly has no problem lifting its creator. If you have […] Huge Radio Controlled LiebherrMay 14, 2013 in Large Scale RC Models tagged Loading Shovel / RC Loader / RC Loading Shovel / RC Wheel Loader / Real Hydraulics by RC Tractor Guy
1 Here is another example of a well made radio controlled excavator. I think this was originally a plastic model which as I’ve said before is a good base for an RC conversion due to the lack of weight. My radio controlled Hitachi Zaxis 210 has a diecast arm and the […] Smooth RC Excavator ControlMay 9, 2013 in Large Scale RC Models tagged Example / RC Conversion / RC Excavator / Video by RC Tractor Guy
If you have the space in your home to allow you to move up to 1:16 or 1:10 scale then you will find that your builds become much simpler. The electronics are around the same size which means you have space for bigger motors and stronger servos but why stop […] Heavy Duty RC VehiclesMay 7, 2013 in Large Scale RC Models tagged RC Digger / RC Lorry / RC MAN Lorry / RC Tractor / RC Truck / Video by RC Tractor Guy
