This is my favorite model of a Caterpillar (320 to 330 size) from the German company Bruder. Its about 1/16 scale and is highly detailed. Its $40 to $50 available on alot of websites. There is one problem, though. It's hand operated. However, it has no limits to the movement of the arm (boom and stick). It has equal movement to a real excavator. The cheap models do not have equal movements to real machines. So this model would be perfect to turn in to a radio control excavator and thats what I will be doing some time in the near future.

This a Bruder Cat from a show in Germany that has had hydraulics added to it. I don't know if it's functional or radio controlled.
