If you've ever fancied yourself behind the wheel of some heavy plant, but don't necessarily want the exposed bum crack, bad manners and lecherous temperament that go with the job, then treat yourself to our scale model r/c excavator.

All the fun of mechanised digging without the attitude problems. A rechargeable Ni-Cad battery means that the fun doesn't have to end when the battery runs dry either.... just plug in the supplied AC charger and you'll be back to the serious business of earth-moving in next to no time.

Simple controls allow you to rotate the cab, move forward and backward, engage the digging arm and even trigger a rather fetching light. So if it's excavation that's your calling, then why not give it a go in miniature before shelling out thousands for the real thing. Who knows, you might like it so much you'll change profession....

It’s hard hat time with this superb scale models that features nine functions that can all be operated from the transmitter... it works just like the real thing!
