Good start. I have embedded the photo for you too.

I love this and the level of detail in it all.

This is looking very cool, such a high level of detail.

This is awesome, well done and thanks for sharing this.

Very cool, I love the detail in this.

Yes it is. I ended up removing the front dozer blade and redesigning the front a bit.

Sadly, so true.

This is very cool unique and an interesting build. I really love what you have done with this and how you've presented it.

Any chance of a review of that one....

A full or even partial RC backhoe would be amazing, it would definitely be something that I would look at purchasing, if the price was right.

What do you actually want to build? That will help us provide some advice on what the best thing is that you want to get so that you can get what you want.

This makes a lot of sense, part of the reason I build my own mods.

Thanks for sharing the instructions.

Thanks. I need to fix up some of the colours on it. I have got some parts to swap over.

Very well designed and built, it has come out well.

UORT MK2 - Attachment - Cherry Picker I would like to present my latest Utility Offroad Truck (UORT) mk2 attachment, this is an improved cherry picker attachment. It attaches to the rear mounting point. The turntable is controlled via the black gear on the side of the chassis. The black gear on the front of the cherry picker is used to raise and lower the arm. Overall I am very happy with how this has turned out, it is my favourite Utility Offroad Truck (UORT) attachment so far.

Nicely done.

They are cute.

UORT - Attachment - Cherry Picker I would like to present my latest Utility Offroad Truck (UORT) attachment, this is a cherry picker attachment. It attaches to the rear mounting point and PTO. The turntable is controlled via the black gear on the side of the chassis. The red lever on the cherry picker is used to raise and lower the arm. It features a fold down leg to help keep it stable when fully extended, when this is raised it is also used to lock the bucket in place for transport. Overall I am very happy with how this has turned out, it is my favourite Utility Offroad Truck (UORT) attachment so far.
