Review on 🚧 Dual Function Control Excavator by Carlos Burrows

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's amazing until one of the caterpillar's engines fails.

The toy out of the box was a really pleasant surprise. My son (4.5) only used it indoors with a claw to pick things up and I have to admit I loved it too - it's a really fun radio controlled toy! The number of movements (forward-backward, turning right/left, cockpit rotation, lowering/raising the arm in two joints, opening/closing the claw) let you have a good time. Can't comment on outdoor durability as we've never used it in that capacity. Unfortunately, we only got about 3 hours of play (maybe 5-10 battery charges) before the excavator really started to struggle. move forward, backward, or rotate. One of the tracked motors actually slowed to a crawl, rendering the vehicle undriveable. It's a real shame because my son just adored this toy and we were planning to give him the same dump truck.

Pros
  • CONTROL DISTANCE 100 FT: The toy construction excavator is equipped with a powerful 2.4GHz transmitter that allows you to work at a distance of at least 100 feet or more. If you have bought DOUBLE E E571-003 8CH Excavator (ASIN B07W4VBY3V), this 17CH Excavator is your next step before you delve into expensive RC building toys, real hydraulic excavators. CHARGE TIME: 80 minutes for a full charge. PLAYTIME: Can play 25-35 minutes when fully charged.
Cons
  • availability or exchange
