Yup, some people would say Im crazy.. but fear not, Im not the only one purchasing these beasts. The "Kabolite K970" Mining Excavator is fairly "new" on the market.. and as far as Expensive "Toys" for Big Boys in 2021 - and as they say "you got to pay to play". Yes, there are Radio Control models for all types of budgets & styles.. and ponder this.. this model is NOT even close to the top price models in the world.. but it's the top that I can justify spending this kind of money on and get it during a difficult time of supply and demand. I live in Canada.. in Nova Scotia.. and Shipping this 80lb brute across 1/2 the planet cost almost $1000 USD alone.. not to mention import taxes and duty charges - and Paypal fees! UGH. All together.. this cost me a ridiculous $12,500 CAD - before it hit the border. Is it worth it? Well.. time will tell. Im stoked for the precision of this machine.. and I am really liking the sound kit. I know, it doesn't sound (the sound kit specifically) great through a camera microphone - but in person its actually amazing. I like that the sound kit is responsive to the input of the hydraulics on the transmitter.. , and the wheeling of the tracks - not to mention ALL of the amazing detail. I have to get more familiar with this model.. and after I turned off the camera, I discovered one of the tracks Is not moving properly. Hmph. Go figure.. Thanks China. I'll crack it open (the drive gear)..as I suspect it' only missing a drive pin - or a loose grub screw in the planetary gears... Apart from this minor issue.. this model has astounded me thus far.. and I look forward to putting a few hundred hours on this machine.
