AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: It’s the Earth Digger 4200XL! Admit it: your 10-year-old self would have freaked out at the sight of this thing. Built by JDCustoms and distributed by RC4WD, this 1/12-scale excavator comes pre-built and nearly ready to run, making it easier than ever to get yourself behind the wheel (or sticks, rather) of some heavy-duty construction equipment.

The Build – Part 2 Now that we have the differentials built, we’ll work on getting them mounted in the gearboxes. There are a few tricky steps here and patience is key. The B44.3 uses 3 different lengths of CVA …

The Build – Part 9 Well, you’ve made it to the final step of the Vaterra Ascender K5 Blazer build. Hopefully your build looks similar to the one here! Let’s finish this project up… Attach the tow hooks and winch …
