• Sturdy 360° endless swing unit with big double ball bearings and gearbox shaft with counter ball bearings
• 3 channel hydraulics for boom, stick and bucket with brushless pump. Some experience with RC hydraulics troubleshooting and optimization is strongly recommended
• Instructions for DIY ESP32 sound- and light-controller are included. Precompiled software can be installed in your browser
• Cheap Flysky FS-I6S remote can be used thanks to the sound controller, which is controlling the hydraulics as well
• One pair of electric actuators for the wheel lifting mechanism
