Yeah it's more fun and can actually move some dirt! Glad it worked out, thanks for hanging out!

Good job,i did something similar, but with mine after a while it stripped the gears,so i put worm screw servos in there instead,those things are really strong 💪 😀👍👍👍

Nice, I did think about doing that too mine also. The jib and bucket have no limit switches so that makes it a more involved installation. I figured I would run this one as is and maybe upgrade to the WPL 16800 at some point. Thanks for hanging out mate I appreciate your time!

Just got this a week ago and having a blast. I run 1:1 machines and having the boom controls backwards sucks. Going to do this modification thanks to your video. I don't plan on digging earth with it, just loading up old rc tires and motors into a box around the shop is fun enough for me.

That's awesome! I found it interesting they decided to do the controls like that because most other RC excavators have the controls set up correctly. Either way it's an easy fix! Have fun and thanks for watching!

Pretty cool, dude. Listening as I work, you crack me up. Hope you have a great one, bruv.

Haha thanks mate! I recorded the voice over late one evening after enjoying a couple frosty beverages and just had a bit of fun with it!

John Deere controls are backwards from Caterpillar, don't know how that got missed in the controller. I'm new to the construction side of R/C and have one of these. Thanks for the tips and tricks:-)

No problem at all my friend! If your looking for and inexpensive way to try out an RC Excavator, I think this is a decent choice along with the Huina 1550. My kids and I do all sorts of scale earthmoving projects in the backyard! Thanks for hanging out mate!

Nice upgrades

I think this little machine is a great way to try out construction RC without spending much cash! It looks fantastic and is certainly to operate. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for subscribing!

would it work better if some weight was added to it, and metal gears used?

This model already has steel weights inside the body so it's weight is appropriate for the 1/24 scale. This is a nicely detailed RC toy that is fully functional, There are better models available if performance is important.

huina oem？same parts as 1550

I think it is made by Huina, it may share some parts 👍

I wonder if you can put servos up on there

@havikhobbies

You certainly could, however there is no limit switches for the jib and bucket so you would have to wire in limit switches with the servos so you didn't just overdrive the servos and kill them. Some of the Huina parts are compatable with this machine, but you would have to put a ton of time in to modifying it. I decided to enjoy it the way it is an possibly upgrade to a better machine further down the road if needed.

I totally agree for the price you can't really beat it considering 1/18 scale is in the $1000s
