To overcome its own weight through the stick and bucket is impressive to say the least. The huina 1599 is a great machine and the screw servos on this bad boy are pretty strong. There isn't a scenario where these movements would be necessary but I wanted to make sure that in the most extreme case it can preform. Generally when and if kids operate these things they don't know not to do things like that, even still if they did, it don't even matter. The only time it would matter is if it was a plastic machine, it would surely stress out the plastic boom and servo pockets and could even rip them apart. Typically the servos are stronger than the plastic materials holding them. The huina has been my favorite electric machine yet, but it looks like to get anything close to this now you'd need to get the kobalite. Toucan can still get them made through huina directly but kobalite which is huinas high end brand is taking over the 1599 and replacing it with the kobalite version. Parts will always be available of course, but the 1599 body style has become a rare piece. The 1599 is available in two places still, Alibaba which who knows about those guys and funyat which who knows about those guys either😂 typical price for this huina 1599 is 750-900$ and it used to sell for 1000$. Alibaba apparently sells it for 430$ shipped but that seems sketchy lol.

I reposted this video to display the realistic movement ability (smooth operation) of the 2 in 1 esc motor combo by hobbywing. It pulls me no problem at 180lbs, the zoomlion here is about 100 lbs with the smaller counterweight.

The challenger 2 is modeled after the Trinity mkII from world of tanks, I call it the Trinity MKIII Pink Panther also named after the pink panther scheme the SAS would use on their land rovers for night operations. It was my first ever attempt at customization, the rag tag rags were supposed to be IR blankets but I didn’t cover the engine bay, still happy with how it came out. I’ve had these for about 6 years and they’re still running strong today except the Tiger II which I cooked the right side motor on last year. I just ordered a replacement finally. RC tanks were my introduction into the RC world since I was never really into Rc cars. I’ve recently over the past couple years been more into RC construction but when I pulled these off the shelf today and charged up the batteries I instantly remembered why I bought them 😂

Gravity is my binders, I frequently donate lots of money to the DOT so they don’t bother me😂

The absolute worst case scenario I'll need to replace the motor which big deal it's like 5$ and 20 mins of turning screws. Absolutely worth the risk. Maybe I got lucky but after receiving and testing them I'd take the risk again it was minimal. The controls take some getting used to, this is the first run out of the box.

I bought these three used machines and the track loader seems to have a drive issue but the excavator and tracked dump work absolutely fine. Got lucky, I was ready to encounter some problems but 1/3 ain't bad at all!
