Re: Radio control

I've been doing HO scale model rail for years but on a whim about six months ago I bought a Huina 1550 R/C excavator in 1:14 scale. Cost me about $120. Then I bought a Huina 1573 tipper truck also same scale.. Then an upgraded 1592 Huina excavator and a 1:16 scale dozer and a month ago a WL tipper truck quite similar to the 1573 one.
Whilst they are nowhere near the proper hobby grade level they do surprisingly well for a cheap price to start in a fascinating hobby . Both excavators will be upgraded with worm drive rams rather than gear driven ones they come with fairly soon ..Upgrade kits are about $80 each .. All up I've spent about $600 so far . One of my latest DCC /Sound model rail locomotives cost me $450 to put that into perspective ...
That said there are some prices well in excess of $5000 for similar looking items I have and even way more than that .. However if it's your passion and you can afford it , that's fine by me ..
Radio control in any guise is fun .
