    This blog tries to show how I built my full metal, real hydraulic radio controlled excavator.

    My model will be a CAT374F Caterpillar excavator. This model is a 1:14 scaled model with real hydraulic system and all parts will be made from metal. I working on my self-designed model based on the real machine. I hope, I will be able to make all parts by myself. If you found mistakes, or you have any idea, please don't hesitate, write a comment, or send me an e-mail! (janos.bango@damatric.eu) I will be glad if anybody can teach me, or give me good advice. Naturally feel free to send criticism, if warranted. Thank you advance the helps and comments!

    I try to show all steps of construction with this blog and describe the ideas, problems, techniques, and everything which happened during the construction.  I hope, the content will be usable information for RC modellers.
