YouTube GOLD takes all year to prepare for. In the off-season, it is important to go over the equipment and get any issues worked out. You don't want downed equipment on the Gold fields. Downed eqipment means lost gold. I have taken my YouTube GOLD excavator, and upgraded the heck out of it!! This is the version 1.5 from RC4WD, and weighs about 45lbs. The issue I has is the pump always had to be running, it was very loud, and the track motors were very slow. Also, I could not find any good videos that could point me in the right direction, as an owner. I hope this video is helpful to those folks who do own this excavator already, but would like to upgrade it themselves.
My Excavator is a 4200xl Earth Digger v1.5 from RC4WD

The fella that makes the motor transmission - his name is Oyvind! Tell him RCSparks sent ya :)
Just these two upgrades have transformed my machine into a literal beast! I had a few viewers ask me to do a side load with my trailer,, with the excavator.. SO THIS IS FOR YOU!!
The Radio I am using is a Flysky Paladin (PL18) - at the time of this filming it is Flyskys latest Dual Stick radio to hit the market. Touch screen, and nicely weighted - this radio is the right fit for me on this project.
Construction RC is amazing.. and Im stoked to share it here with you.. thank you!!
