Top Race 15 Channel Full Functional Remote Control Excavator, Remote Control Excavator Toy with 2.4GHz Transmitter and Metal Shovel - 1:14 Scale Battery Powered Construction Tractor for Kids - TR 211

When my friend suggested that I get something that is Remote Control that is good quality I didn't have any ideas on what to get. I remembered that as a child, I always wanted an RC Excavator. This was my idea, so I jumped on the internet and searched up 'rc excavator'. I came across this Top Race one. I had no idea which brands were good or bad, so I bookmarked this excavator and kept looking.After looking at multiple brands, such as Vatos and Huina, I decided to watch some videos and read some reviews. The cheaper Huina excavators had poor reviews and the Vatos excavator had a smaller scale and that would mean it would have worse power. I tried to find some videos on the TR-211 (which I struggled to) and found a few. After I watched them I decided it was a pretty...decent...excavator. So I jumped back onto Amazon and ordered one.I was mind blown to see that my excavator arrived 10 days early. This was the first thing that impressed me. I unpacked it and plugged up the battery. finding out that it comes charged a little bit. I messed around with the controls and it started beeping and the lights and sounds turned on, so I figured it was low on charge. I plugged it in and it took less than the advertised amount of time to charge (says 4 hours, took 2 1/2 hours). This was another thing that I was impressed with.After I charged it, I went outside and my mind changed about the whole thing. After I started digging some dirt, my opinion on it went from decent to absolutely extraordinary. It has some great power, and I dug a hole that was about 30cm x 28cm x 5-7cm. I had the most fun I've had in a long time, and it lasted me around 1 hour 20 minutes (battery life depends on how much work you're doing). Ever since I got it I have been using it outside everyday...I haven't touched my consoles or laptop or phone for 4 days.Overall, this was one of the best things I've ever bought, and now I'm recommending the same excavator to my friend that suggested it in the first place, and I also recommend that people reading this also buy it. Amazing and very reliable product!

This excavator is really nice, heavy machine, metal grapple, solid construction. BUT, the arm did not work out of the box.The battery needs to be able to last longer. I will be looking for an additional higher capacity battery.The sounds are realistic and you can turn them off if you don’t want the sound effects. When sounds are off the machine is very quite.EDIT 4/7/2022The arm started working right before I boxed it for a return, so it never went back and has worked except for twice since then. Everything thing else is still great. I have not found a second battery but if you are using it like a real excavator and are stationary most of the time the battery will last a long time. If you drive it around or long distance that seems to use more battery then just loading stuff. Overall it’s a great toy and we still play with it. Get it and you will have fun.More update. Arm needed to be taking apart and wire plugged in or soldered can’t remember but is still working great. 1/23EDIT 10/12/24 - Still working great, I HAVE found a battery right here on Amazon - Blomiky 2 Pack 7.2V 2200mAh Ni-MH Rechargerable Battery with SM-2P Plug Connector and USB Charger Cable for RC Cars Vehicles Truck 7.2V NiMh 2The most important part is the SM-2P that is the black connector for the battery. This battery is 2200mAh the stock is 400mAh which is 5.5 times more capacity. The bigger battery works great. You can track and do multiple functions at once and it doesn't slow down.Now that you have read this - click add to cart, then add the extra set of batteries and have fun.

So far seems ok. It does move rather slow and sometimes the arm makes a clicking sound before it moves. Don't know if normal or not. Will see how it holds up.

I bought the remote control excavator for my grandson's birthday, when he turned 4. He is into anything farm or construction related and I thought after watching the video on this product he would really enjoy it. That is an understatement! When he received it for his birthday, I took it out of it's packaging and was surprised as to how well made it was even being plastic, it is a heavy solid plastic, not flimsy, but solidly made. It was easy setting it up with the batteries in the remote and only took a short time to charge the battery for the excavator itself and were easy to install. Instructions were easy to read but operating the excavator took some practice so we could show my grandson what to do. I thought for awhile I was going to have to buy another excavator for my son as he was having more fun playing with it himself and he used to operate the big ones. We finally turned it over to my grandson and it took him a little while to become familiar with the controls but even at 4 years old, it didn't take him long. He absolutely loves his excavator and already has spent many hours in his sand box "digging". I was worried one battery for the excavator was not going to last long enough so I ordered two more batteries and another charging cord. On receiving my order, I was shorted a battery but it only took a quick email and my 2nd battery was sent! I am very happy with this purchase and with customer service at Top Race! I probably will be purchasing some of their other remote controlled vehicles in the near future!
