The best wheel excavator I ever seen and with instructions, congratulations for this awesome machine :thumbup: .

[Alasdair Ryan]

Great excavator,I don't think there is a better wheeled excavator in terms of functions.

I do think that it is out of scale....the arm is like a stick compared to the rest of the machine.

[paulblda]

Wow, that is very impresive. I like how you got all the function in such a compact AND good looking (realistic) design. However, I would like to see the "loading bucket" a bit bigger.

[skriblez]

Very nice work :)

Very nice wheeled excavator! The arm rotation is a very nice feature.

[Kronos]

I'm not a big construction equipment guy, but this is really cool. Great job on the MOC and the instructions!

[timslegos]

I love the way it looks, nice job!

Wow this is an excellent wheeled excavator!

[Kwon]

Fantastic Excavator, I love it.

[bord4kop]

Excellent!

Great work there mr. GuiliuG

[Jurgen Krooshoop]

Technically the most advanced excavator I've seen so far. Great work !!

[Jeroen Ottens]

Great model.

How many motors have you hidden in those arms?

[Foggy]

Amazing model! Should be nice to see it with the railroad wheels tool

Thanks all for your sweet comments !

There are only two motors hidden in the arm, for the third arm articulation and for the bucket.

The bucket is at scale, the one used in the 8043 excavator is way to big.

Yes, it would be cool to add railroad wheels but there are already so many functions, don't see how to put these ^^.

[dr_spock]

Very nice. Excellent work putting in all those functions.

Nice excavator with the myriad of functionality

Really nice model, very complex!

Only one regret for the small bucket.

Congratulations anyway, well done!

[GuiliuG]

You should look at the real excavator to see that the bucket has the right proportions :)

Thanks all btw.

The model is now added on rebrickable :

Check out if you have all the parts to build it !

[Holodoc]

Wow! This is a really great and very detailed digger.

I bow before the builder - I never could build anything like this.

NIce move to have it put on rebrickable as well.

I'm really close to buying the instructions...

[Blakbird]

Another amazing model. Do you have pictures of what you used for a controller? Since this has two extra functions compared to a normal excavator (boom rotation and second boom articulation), I'm not sure how the controls work. Regular 2 stick CAT controls would not be enough.

[GuiliuG]

Thanks.

For now, I haven't built a controller ( as it simply consists of four remote controllers pinned together) but I will build one in a few months using only two joysticks to control six functions.

[GuiliuG]

I want to say a big thanks to blakbird for his magnificient renders :

[EyesOnly]

Wow nice render. *Reaches out to grab it and gets a shock from the monitor.
