Am I correct in thinking this has been made from 42055?

If that's the case and it was built from 42055, I'm pretty sure they give enough tracks to do this model  What is it like almost 200 tread links.

That excavator arm lloks too big for vehicle, but I like, how it's made.

Yes this is made from the 42055 set

This could be made tracked too. The reason why i used wheels is because the maneuverability is better because if i made it tracked, i would have had to use the motor and BB which would have made the model heaps larger. 
Also making the tracks go back and fourth AND turn would be a headache to do with only one motor.

Agreed. It's the smallest arm i could think of while using three LA's. I could make it smaller by using only one LA and clever linkages but i prefer not to. It's still pretty balanced once you deploy the outriggers. Even when the arm is reaching at it's maximum. However, lifting anything is a different story.

Thanks! This lego technic hobby is a new thing for me and my brother got me into it. This is my first finished MOC from technic.

It is one of best hobbies you can have and every first step is difficult, so keep building and you evolve from time to time from moc to moc...

Then you should say that it's a C-model.

Just one friendly suggestion; don't use spooler with images because it is slowing up forum browsing on portable machines that are used in countryside due to mobile Internet acces which is grneraly slower than flat which is tipical for city users

But 42055 doesn't have the pieces for the engine.

Cute little model, lots of functionality. I personally think it may look a little better if you covered it with more panels, it just seems a bit bare.

Well a moderator told me that my pics are too big so i hid them with spoilers to fix the problem. I personally use a PC because i'm oldschool so large images never bothered me. Don't know how the images can slow down the forum since imgur is hosting them?

they can slow down user's device because everything what you see on display must be "downloaded" on local disk and must be read into memory in order to display; it is principle of work for every kind of computer, no matter smart-phone, tablet, laptop, PC, workstation... (BTW I'm also old school, but due to my profession I could say that I know something about IT  )

You can make your account on (for example) bricksafe.com and you can link images here with appropriate resolution (example 800 x 600)...

I do that on my topics and it works very good

Well i like to use imgur because it's simple and i'm already registered there so all i need to do is click the icon in my favorites list. 

I could just put a list of links instead and only display one image next time.

You can choose to resize the images when you upload them to imgur, handy feature when you're posting on forums
