    Will spare parts be available? Especially the hydraulic components?
    How about an exploded parts diagram? Ain't paying big bucks for a product with no support.

      Motion RC is working with the factory to supply both popular spare parts for retail sale as well as exploded views. The vendor is not familiar with US-style product support and parts availability.

        That K961 looks amazing — really impressive detail and functionality for a 1/18 scale! The metal build, hydraulic system, and brushless drive make it feel like a serious machine. Definitely one of the most realistic RC excavators out there.

          Anyone here had a chance to try out the Kabolite K961 1/18 scale hydraulic excavator?

          I've been searching for crawler excavators for sale, but this particular model stands out for its realistic looks and powerful hydraulic features. This one seems custom-made for enthusiasts seeking professional-grade performance in a compact machine.

          I would certainly like to hear opinions about durability, smoothness of operation, and if it is worth the purchase.​
