A Working 62-lb Remote-Controlled Excavator Can Hardly Be Called a Toy

Let ’s say you require to dig yourself up a piffling garden or terrorize the local rodentia . Or both ! Well , suffer the EC280 Excavator . It ’s a flyspeck minuscule monstrosity with a kickass demo soundtrack . Everything about this is pathetic and howling .

It ’s a 1:14.5 scale replica of a hulking Cat excavator , but do n’t interest about that 62 - pound weight . As you’re able to see , the EC280 has no problem pushing itself backwards up stairs .

Its six motorized proportional axle run on four rechargeable NiMH batteries , and you get an eight - channel radio controller included in the $ 4,500 Mary Leontyne Price tag . That ’s candidly probably a reasonably price , given that I ca n’t think of anyone other than eccentric millionaires who would desire one . [ Hobby MediaviaUber ReviewviaDvice ]
