That was awesome. IDK how it stayed balcnced on mt. pads, unless it's a weight fwd. design. The lil interference fit that he lifted unit by was just enuff. Crazy. esp. announcer standing underneath ~8 min. mark. Skill for sure. I even understand a few phrases.

Tom, that rig had some special hooks welded to the body, right between the tracks that hooked into the structure once he got the tip of the tracks wedged into those slots, so those hooks also held it there.
That was pretty cool, and I would think they did that for publicity royce, and I'm sure they got quite a bit, kinda neat imo.

That was pretty damned impressive! That stick & boom are way more powerful than anything I've seen before.
