Perfect. All pieces OK, compatibility with other brands excellent.

Everything went great! I received the main model in about a week! The only thing that took almost a month was receiving the electronics.

And after some reviews my expectations were high. It's a very decent excavator. Robust and all of its functions are motorized. Nothing beats that price. A better remote would be good though. That thing needs a 2nd bluetooth-akkumolator box to power all motors independently, but the romote connects to 1 box. Using the power switch, the controller automatically picks the other box than the previous but Id prefer connecting simultaniously. About YWOBB, delivery and the EU-Version: Finally original box & short delivery time. No issues.

Cool model, very fun to play with. Many motors and good quality bricks.

Experience with YWOBB was 5 of 5, however, the excavator has some issues. Pluses: - Not missing any parts. - Parts are grouped into numbered bags to help with assembly. - Instructions were quite good except for a couple items I'll mention below. Some pages have a lot of steps and it can be a bit difficult to follow, but this didn't bother me. - Parts are good quality, much the same as the big brand. Minuses: - Actuators nearly seize up after some use. I decided to add a bit of oil to them which made them work much better but this may have consequences down the road. - The tracks nearly seized up after some use. They worked great for the first bit after the build. I imagine some axials are moving axially and rubbing on adjacent surfaces. - There are no detailed instructions for the included remote. E.g. there are two buttons on one side which change how the arrow buttons work, but it's not explained anywhere. Also, the remote power button has to be turned off and on to toggle between the two hubs. You would need to purchase an additional remote to be able to control all functions simultaneously. - There is little information on routing the cables. The first time I built the excavator, I left the cables to the end, which was a mistake. I'm not disappointed that I bought it, and I would probably still buy it knowing what I know now.

Nice to build, no Parts missing. Perfect with the 6.0 Box from mould King.
