Siku 6740 Liebherr R980 from Siku is now finally here for real!

Was it a (slightly too?) fantastic announcement of a radio controlled model that Siku made last year? Because despite the fact that it was proposed it did not come, initially it was postponed by Siku until December, but it soon became clear that there were still some problems with the control of the "cylinders". There are namely large forces on the excavator arm when used. And because the model has a hefty price tag, you have to be able to assume that it does not fall apart or has almost no power with reasonable use.

Now, with a quality brand like Siku, it is always a priority to make it child-friendly and they also understand the art of working in great detail. Really impressive what they always manage to do in Luedenscheid. But Siku has now finally made the decision and the models will finally be delivered at the end of July 2017. Many collectors will be happy to include this model in their range, and collectors of agricultural miniatures will also want to have this on their shelf.

The remote control of the Liebherr from Siku (Control32), note the extra button between the two round buttons.[/caption] The model is supplied as a complete starter set, so in addition to the model itself with charger, manual and remote control. If you already have Control32 models, the controller is a nice extra, because it is completely interchangeable with other Control32 models from Siku.
