Below is the 1:10 scale dimensions for my beast..

The final piece - main cabin cover

And now, the final piece of this custom build excavator...the main cabin cover..the gadgets inside are sitting at the actual final location, we gotta squeeze the space as much as possible here due to real big stuff at the back there, no more space available...sorry pilot...your place has been taken.!

 CAD image...

 and the real ones... 

Side view, CAD image
 ..and the actual... 
...front view, CAD image...
 and the actual one...cant wait to install them on the demo unit...soon..
pls note, we had to use driver cab for the electronic circuits/ESC/2nd battery, as we are running out of space here, this 2nd battery will supply 12VDC to undercarriage motors, as well as servos,
it's smaller in size due tolow in consumption, i hope. The 1st or main battery at back cabin will 
just supply 12VDC to hyd pump, and it's the bigger in size for longer run time.
more details DECAL for main cabin will come soon..as to copy exact the real ones...
