My Hydraulic Excavator (& RC-TNT Turns 2) 

Help pay for the upkeep on the fleet!!!

You are the heero we need. I am glad that you decided to press that record button two years ago.

I could lose HOURS, if i had one of these!! There's something very calming about this video!! It takes me right back to my childhood, sitting in the dirt on the cliffs in Folkstone, in Kent, playing with my cars, and a digger just like this (minus the hydraulics and radio control!!), loading dirt intonthe back of a tipper, and miving a few feet along the path. Happy days, and this cheered me right up. Thank you. 🤗

Always watch your videos when they pop up in my feed. You do a great job and I look forward to seeing your content!!! Keep up the great work!! 👍

Tinkering is great for the soul,my mental health would be crap without this hobby.

Congratulations on two years. It seems like only last week we were at the one year milestone. How the weeks do slip by when you're sharing incredible content. I feel both fortunate and honoured to have discovered your channel fairly early on, though it took a few months (the RC4WD TF2/TF3 video and suspension discussion) to drop my first comment. You started out strong and have only gotten better with time. From the first video I saw, your channel climbed to the top of my favourites list, and it's still there today. I can't imagine anything knocking off your crown. Even after two years of successful creation and building the channel and the audience, it still feels personal, friendly, casual and cozy. This is as real as it gets, as real as it needs to be. I've said it before, I'll say it again, your delivery is spot on, every time. And my wee lad still climbs up on my lap, points at the screen, and demands to play one of your videos. Very insistently. You're a favourite in this household, for sure. Once again, heartfelt congratulations on your achievements. Both in the success of the channel in general, and in the benefits it has brought you away from the channel. Thank you for all the joy you have brought my family and all of your viewing audience. Here's to another year of increasing success. And more years after that.

love the channel my man, the in depth and scientific method approach at testing is really important in our hobby. its really easy to just throw money at mods but when you're poor or wiser than that you need to ensure you're not just pissing in the wind. congratz!

I'm so proud of you bro, huge congrats your way for the hard work, tenacity and wonderful content over the 2 years. Really looking forward to seeing this channel grow from here.

This has become one of my favourite channels as of late, I love the honest opinions on what actually is good and the objective testing of different crawlers! Keep at it you've got a long term viewer here!

What a beautiful mile stone Craig. It’s hard for me to make time to watch videos. I am out in the shop rebuilding shocks watching this video!!! There is something oddly satisfying watching an RC excavator. Dig a hole. I spent many of summers with my Tonka trucks building roads up on mountain/dirt hill. I was nine. Lol. In that same fascination is still with me and I’m almost 60. I love you channel, you always have great content !!!! I’m pretty sure I’ve been here with you for a couple years ? Keep going forward !!!! and I appreciate the effort you put in.

Fun fact: construction sites are now equipping them with gps locators so the guys running the excavators etc can precisely dig exactly (to the cm) where they're supposed to dig. Now I've never seen it, but supposedly for buildings like condos, they can use the same system to place all interior walls, holes for services etc as well. I know farmers have been using a similar system for tending plowing and seeding their fields but it's getting into construction as well.

Congrats on 2 years and another top video Craig 🥳 To all the viewers out there watching who haven't subscribed to this channel yet, what are you waiting for? It's always entertaining @RC-TNT And no, I'm not affiliated in anyway shape or form, I just enjoy informative and fun RC videos and reviews

Congratulations on 2 years! Always enjoy your videos,keep up the great work!

I've been here almost from the beginning, and not planning to go anywhere. Still my favorite RC channel! The best bit for me is that, as a friend, all this that you made (and we enjoy!), it's actually making you feel better. Cheers, for all the fun you've brought us, and to your health, Craig!!

Congrats on 2 years and job well done!

This video put a smile on my dial, thanks, mate!😊😅😅

Congrats on 3 years of great content. Thank you for all that you de. We enjoy it

@18:45 Hi Craig! And hearty congrats on this milestone and everything else you are achieving.

Happy Anniversary Craig!! Your channel is fantastic and I hope it keeps providing you happiness for another year.

Happy anniversary!

My grandson is 4 and loves your videos, but this is the best, he wants to drive an excavator when gets big!!! Hahaha

My wife saw me watching your excavation and reminded me that I'm a nerd. I wish our $150 (USD) Amazon excavator had moves like that!

Congrats for the Great Channel and for 2 year of awesome Vídeos, lots of cool info and fun Share! 🎉🏆🎊🎁 I learn i have fun and like watching all your Adventures!!! Keep the Good Work! Greatings from Portugal 💪🏻🐼👍🏻

Nice vid! 💪 I have the same one and still haven't found time to learn the controls properly. 😅 And congrats for 3. anniversary! 👏

I enjoy watching your videos. Congrats a your second anniversary. This excavator performs well compared to others I have seen.

Always enjoyable Craig. Keep it up. I also struggle with mental health and RC is my escape.

Happy Anniversary! As always, great content!

A very cool and powerful rc excavator 💪🙂👍

Tinkering, good for the soul, never a truer word said my friend, I like your content, keep 'em coming 😊

It's hardly budget because if not for bulk commodity prices just the linear actuators would put you a hundred a piece. It's awesome. I loved the brown cab over big rig. You don't see them anymore. They were a safety hazard but I miss seeing them. My step dad owned a small trucking company when I was a kid and he had one for a while but the insurance rates turned them into scrapyard haulers and they still make a couole specialized ones for automobile freight hauling

Well done, love your videos

Congrats on your channels success. I like how relaxed and honest your videos are(in a good way). Glad your on RU-vid. Thanks for the content.

Interesting your youtube anniversary is also my birthday! Happy YT anniversary to you Craig and thanks for all your hard work providing us with fun videos and good information. I have the Element Sendero HD thanks to your series on it. Very little left stock by now lol. It sports an am32 esc + holmes revolver, NSDRC steering servo, NW Scaler Designs chassis rails, metal sliders/bumpers, and servo winch. Still rocking the stealth transmission, Element shocks and axles, and the original body. Never did point out the rig but gave myself a little more padding for mediocre driving 😂. Good times and enjoying 2wd buggy racing side of RC at the moment. Crawling is still close to my heart, just a bit tougher to find time to get out to the rocks

Happy birthday!

Congrats! I'm sure we've all seen small R/C youtube channels stop after regularly posting for months or even years. You mentioned the time it takes and based on that I completely understand why people stop even though as a viewer it can be disappointing. What keeps you motivated to continue to put the significant time and effort in?

Mate thank you so much. This video is blowing my mind. Oh my goodness hydraulic system for this digger is just amazing thank you mate. Thank you so much so cool couldn’t of got this information without you. Thanks mate!! Really, on RU-vid for many many many many hours with no luck thank you mate.

Keep it up man I bought my Crawler sendero HD after your review and it îs spot on tnx man🎉

As for construction equipment. There's another channel I follow and they're in Europe. They have the high end stuff. You know, starting at $18,000.00. Those are incredible machines. (RC Live Action). If you replaced all the press on tubes with braided lines and threaded ends you could up the pressure but then you might start bending stuff.

❤️❤️❤️

12:04 I was JUST about to click on the comments to begin typing! I was already lining up a bunch anyways.

You should do some sort of RU-vid construction series like if you’ve ever seen RU-vid gold from rc sparks I would def tune in for all of those

I'm about to get one for my grand hauler I'm building but have a limited budget... maybe lol congratulations on two years haven't been following you long but like your presentation and fair opinions done well for only two years!!!🎉

3"42 ha, you need a dozer/grader to build your R/C trail (as mentioned in a previous comment). "I built an R/C trail course only using R/C construction equipment" hahahah

I'm actually a little surprised you only have 6.6K subs.......

I also like the RC construction stuff and have a huina loader that i've modded a bit but man the hydraulic stuff is so damn pricey!

Hey, sorry mate but what is the actual model number and manufacturing brand of this excavator? It sounds really cool, thanks bye!

I love your channel and I'm so happy that it's doing great...

What is the model for the Liebherr?

Can you help me with my RC at all I’m having trouble with leaky cylinders and the cylinders not wanting to move I might know the fix for that part but I need help with the leaky cylinders also what kind of hydraulic fluid do you use?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Also where did u purchase from

BTW, another good vid title would have been "Can you dig it?" 😆

What brand is that mate

I can tell u why its so hard operate the excavator. Its in backhoe mode. Not excavator mode

how much are this now.?

yeah for the real shit you need 10.000 at last i know i know

Did you really pay 3k for that?? Wow
