Advice to anyone concidering the JX F1650 crane; The crane is generally well engineered. Due to it's very complex hydraulic system, I will only advice this crane model to someone who got great experience within rc control in general, and above average good experience regarding mechanical and hydraulic systems (or live nearby someone that is higly skilled and expereinced, that can help out) Due to it's complexity and large number of hydraulic connections, there will always be some more or less oil leaks that needs to be addressed. Advice to use threadlock liquid, as Locktite 542, on hydraulic fittings that are unscrewed and checked. Again, the F1650 crane is only for highly experienced rc modellers, NOT FOR BEGINNERS at all! There are less complex RC cranes to chose from.
The chinese do not care about what Scaleart makes, as they are in quite different price groups. Scaleart makes a copy of a Palfinger PK23002. The JX Models crane is a Fassi crane, F1650, and is the largest and most advanced RC crane in production with a reach of 1.9 m. It's well made, I've studied and tested it in detail. The chinese is coming stronger and stronger.
