atom3624 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Having visited many mines in the last 25 years, these leviathans are fascinating ... This is pretty spectacular, if a touch on the expensive side ... Would love the room, and means to have 'a miniature playground for grown ups'!! http://store.rc4wd.com/114-Scale-Earth-Hauler-797F-Hydraulic-Mining-Truck_p_5670.html?referer=mailid:507&[email protected] Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Why not just buy a real digger with the 3/4k then dig a bloody great hole for no good reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 I take it you have heard the one about the Canadian guy who excavated his basement using RC vehicles? Here's a taster!!

soup Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Only in the four thousand range, so maybe I'll get two of each before my alarm clock goes off. :O) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Don't care how long RC4WD have been around, Once I read this "Due to the value of this product, all orders must paid with bank transfer. When you check out, do not choose credit card or PayPal as we will refund you. Make sure to select Bank Wire Transfer as your payment method instead." They can go whistle.

babylon Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 $350 delivery surcharge, And your right, There are a lot of scammers out there, And they all want you to wire transfer funds. Look, I know that it would more than likely be OK, But if you make money from selling high price items, Trust and backup needs to run both ways, And security needs to be in place for the buyer as well as the seller, And a Wire Transfer is not it, Wire on a Monday,Clears on the Thursday, Liquidation on Friday, Money up the swanny by Saturday.

soup Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Looking more at the video and considering the price (and shipping to the UK) . Whatever happened to the likes of a TONKA toy, a couple of sheets of 2mill, motor(s) and a bit of inginuity. Can't imagine some sort of hydraulic system couldn't be 'knocked up'.
