RC ADVENTURES - -22c, too Cold for Digging! 1/12th Scale 4200XL Earth Digger

Click Here To Subscribe! ► - It's literally freezing -22c, or -7.6°F, either way you look at it - it's darn cold! My hydraulics were slow to respond in this temperature, but I wanted to experiment and see how this model would do in such an extreme temperature. For the most part, the machine operated really well. But, as time passed, the hoses started to stiffen up. I expected as much, and am not disappointed. The ground is frozen solid on the dig site, but there was some snow to prepare for transport in the warmer days.
Many people ask me about this excavator, so I grabbed some info on it from RC4WD, the distribution company:

But I still wanna Dig in the Creek while I can! It's just too much fun to relax and sit in the Sun - while playing in the water with a MONSTER RC!
Believe me, until you try this type of RC - you may never understand the addiction to constructionism! Now when my wife asks me to do the gardening - I will gladly agree! These are like Tonka Trucks on Steroids! My friends - I know you want links, and Specs to these RCs - so the best thing I can do is list some from the RC4WD website below. Hope it helps! For now, I have to get outside for more diggin'!
Heads UP: Decals seen in video are NOT iNCLUDED with the RC's.. they are mine..
