Volvo 1:16 Scale Remote Control Excavator, 17 Channel 3-in-1 Construction Toy with Metal Shovel, Drill, Grab & Lights, 2.4GHz Full Function Digger for Outdoor Sandbox, Gift for Kids & Adults

This RC excavator is a lot better than I expected and pretty impressive. I was on the fence between this model and a couple more, but I’m glad I chose this one. It’s larger than I expected and I really like the metal bucket. The rubber tracks are durable and so are the attachments. I am also, by no means, a guru when it comes to using remote controls but the PlayStation style controller makes it super simple. The controls are easy to get used to after playing around with it for a short amount of time. The battery life has a good charge and are also inexpensive for spares. If you’re deciding between this model and another, go with this one for sure.

This Double E Volvo RC Dump Truck toy is a great entry level RC dump truck. My 6 year old son loves playing with RC cars and recently discovered RC construction vehicles. The controls are fairly self explanatory with photo labels for the raise and lower dump bed functions. The articulation turning took some getting used to because it doesn't snap back to straight like a regular RC car. But I think that's a realistic difference, so not a complaint. The dump mechanism works well and seems strong enough for the toys, sand, mulch and other lighter materials something this size would reasonable be expected to carry and dump. The battery life is decent. My son played with it for about an hour with other toys. It wasn't running the whole time because he was filling it with mulch, or digging with another toy, but it worked the whole time. It does shut itself off after a little bit which preserves battery life. One feature I really appreciate is the ability to turn off the engine sound. It's very authentic and sounds a lot like a construction site, but it is nice to be able to play with it in the living room and not have it always sound like a construction site :-) . I'll list the following as opportunities for improvements, but I suspect most of them would be addressed in the next tier up in toy lineup. It is not super powerful. This works great on hard floors and low carpets, it's not built for off-roading. The power only comes from the back 2 tires, so if they get off the ground, it's stuck. We tried to build a little ramp out of plywood for it to back up and unload it's contents into a container. It didn't really have enough power for the incline (about 15 degrees over a 5 foot stretch). We discovered the ability to turn off the sound came by pressing and holding the horn button. I'm assuming this is spelled out in the instructions, but I didn't notice it in my 10 second review of them. With all of the other images explaining the functions on the remote, it would be nice to see a sound mute icon or something. Overall we really like this truck. My son loves learning and figuring out how things work and this has been an awesome addition to our RC fleet!

This was a terrific product right out of the box. Everything was well built. Instructions were easy to understand. The batteries have long life and the unit works perfectly. It is a lot of fun to play with. I drove it on my roof to scare away some birds that were trying to build a nest. I was able to use the grappler to remove the nesting material before any eggs were laid.

One star taken for delivery frustration. Was promised at a certain time and not delivered on time. Truck is awesome! It makes every sound I was hoping for. If treated gently it will last. Plastic gears means don’t be a dummy with it! I love this purchase so much! Delivery needs to improve.

Very happy with this RC excavator. Good size and good quality. Fun to operate. Moves and sounds like a real one but smaller!

This makes a great toy for little kids. Ordered this with the intention on taking it to the beach but after testing it around the house with mulch, grass and small limestone rocks(#8s), I doubt it will do any better in the sand. It is not very strong & gets stalled when trying to “dig” loose gravel or mulch. My son loves to drive it around and the battery is decent. Will definitely be looking into higher end units for simulated digging. Also, controls are ISO and cannot be changed to Deere.

We only have it for a short time, but are really enjoying it. It's so realistic and is much better than we expected. We're thinking of buying another for our nephew. This one was for our great grandson.

Got this for my son and he loves it! He loves the swappable attatchments and that it drives on real tracks. The attatchments are easy to change and the claw has enough strength to pick up his small construction trucks. We are very happy with this digger

Horrible product. Doesn’t dig well in sand Don’t buy at all

Great item that has every type of fitment - bucket, drill etc.

Este producto me llego dañado y me tardaron de 3 meses en devolverme mi dinero.

This is such a quality toy very nice and big and such detail. Thank you.

After about 6 months of pretty heavy play the toy is broken. I would have thought it would last longer being a volvo brand name and everything.
