crane weight 3.6 without cw,, with 20 cw on tray and 8 cw on carbody 12,6 lbs ,,, test load 5 lbs or 408 tons based on dimensions,, at about 14 inches or 64 scale ft,,,, cw pieces are 2 x 1.5 x 3/8 inchs or 8 x 6 x 1.7 ft in 1:55 scale ,,they weigh 5.2oz each ,,,it seems that at min radius it could pick much more ,, but thats good enough ,,,for now,,,,also at end of vid my esc for main hoist melts down .
