An EXTRA LARGE EXCAVATOR, deserves and EXTRA LONG BUiLD VIDEO! In our last episode.., I unboxed this GOLIATH of a HD MACHINE. All in.. this excavator will weigh 80lbs, without a battery!! In todays film I start at step 1 and follow through all the way to step 25! This is the "LESU CAT 374FL". I believe the "FL" stands for F'ing LARGE!! Now, I did have a slight problem with the instructions whereas the sprocket motor wires and the slew ring wires where exposed - but the instructions made no mention of what to do with them. Thankfully I did not start cutting anything before I used my brain! Hah! The wires can easily be routed through the tracks.. if some attention is paid. Working on a "heavy duty" machinery is absolutely fantastic, and although I was able to trick you into thinking all of this only took 30 minutes.. the reality of the matter is painting these parts took several days, and todays assembly took close to 8 hours to film, build and bring in front of you today!
I hope my work has made you smile and feel inspired! For more information about this excavator and more LESU products - please visit their website! www.rclesu.com/ If you are interested in purchasing one of these excavators - you can email them directly at rclesu@163.com

Sorry everyone, I know you were expecting KZfaq GOLD today, but it rained ALL WEEK and thee Mine-Site was flooded out. I was prepared for this eventuality..and made sure to be painting all week.. so I could spend the entire day building for you! Enjoy the show.. and hopefully YTG2020 will be back very soon.

I love watching the build videos bc it's the one time we'll get to see every single detail in all it's glory. Once they're put together we only get to see what's going on on the outside. And all of the most fascinating parts are always hidden once it's assembled. I find myself watching more build videos than reviews or unboxing videos. And that Lesu Cat is no slouch in the size and detail department. **that's what she said** ***just not about me*** Lol!!

Awesome job dude...nothin wrong with a bit of color. Your organized and methodical approach to doing something of this nature not only helps, but is actually required, as there are so many tiny parts involved. I could very easily see myself putting something like this together, and would probably find it therapeutic LOL. I've done mechanic work for years and am currently working as a maintenance electrician/ engineer in a saw mill. I appreciate the fact that so many of the large pieces of RC equipment are quite expensive...it tells me that they ARE NOT CHEAP LITTLE TOYS, but rather scaled down fully functional replicas of the full size models. Well, I've rattled on long enough...keep up the great work man, i recently subscribed, so I'll keep an eye out for more clips like this one.

Again another great video you asked about the colour I never use yellow for my models since many years ago I had built a large scale model plane and thought it would be a great idea to cover it with bright yellow solar film and off to my local flying field to give it a test all going well for the first 30 minutes and the as the sun came out along came what felt was several million wasps which made a bee line for my model after a couple of minutes I couldn't see any of the model as the wasps totally covered it in the end I had to throw an old blanket over it then leave it for around an hour until they worked out that it was not a giant flower before I took it out again I recovered it in navy blue and white, now I try not to use yellow and I stick to white which both my excavater and loader are in and soon I will re paint my dozer in. Keep up the good work with the videos Regards Poppy Ann.
