Dude, I did not have to see that, that is the most amazing r/c truck I ever saw in my life. I love the leaf springs, shocks, axles and tires, the body is awesome, the video is AWESOME. I need one with a Burb body.

I can't believe how good traction that thing has, and when it drives through the snow and leaves those tire marks, awesome ****. Did I say this was awesome? You need to see if you can embed that video in here man.

You made all that? I never saw r/c axles like that. Even that thing was high centered on the big rock, it still grabbed and stood up in the air. That thing seems to be geared nice and low. Is the motor speed variable or just on and off?

motor speed is variable, via a speed controller which is activated by a radio signal (he didn't say if it was AM or FM)

Thats really neat cool stuff! I have a Mini Milling machine and a mini lathe I got just to make small parts for scale RC models. I wish I still had the parts to the loader I was building. i had a working piston hydraulic pump I made out of an old RC gas engine and a couple custom made check valves.

I had a cheap RC toy loader I got on ebay I was going to start putting all the hydraulics into but only made it to the hydraulic pump.

You can buy model semi trucks with real frame rails and suspension parts, even comes with a transmission that really shifts. You can buy trailers that look exactly like the real deal also.

There is a company over in Europe that made a model of a Caterpillar front end loader that is just incredible. Its completely accurate down to every detail, only problem is it cost about 5 grand for the kit.

I saw one of these the other day and was blown away.

You can buy R/C rockcrawlers that are ready to run for not alot of money.

I`ve been looking at getting one but decided to get my pistol permit so the money went towards a gun.

This is a cool video of some of them in action.
