RC Excavator –

act playfully on his own construction site in miniature

How many times have children dreamed of becoming train drivers, or have they watched in astonishment the work of large construction machinery? The latter can be carried out realistically with an RC excavator on a small scale. RC excavators are like the real excavators in appearance.
RC stands for the English term Remote Control, which means nothing else remote Controlmeans. A remote control unit controls the movements of the excavator. For this reason, this toy is not suitable for toddlers.
RC excavators are almost equipped with the same features that a real excavator has. Electric motors and hydraulic pumps ensure the corresponding movements. In addition, sounds such as engine noise, horns and acoustic signals when reversing and vehicle lights make the construction site appear as if in reality.
Father and son can thus revive an interesting construction site operation together with other construction machines.

Advantages of an RC excavator

As there are different excavators on a real construction site, the range of RC excavators is manifold.
