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!

I have been playing with this RC Excavator for a couple of days and it is still just as fun as it was at the start. It has some weirdness to it, like the red and blue flashing light in the cabin, but I am thoroughly impressed by the functionality and unit as a whole. I have yet to fully charge the battery, I always get impatient and just plug it in to the vehicle while the charger is still flashing red. But I have also yet to run the battery low. I have played with it for awhile and I have yet to notice anything at all indicating the battery is low. That alone exceeds my expectations for a RC vehicle at this price point. In my opinion it is well worth the price and 5 star quality if you can live with the quirks, like the lights and the clicking. So far. I have only played with it inside, moving clean cat litter from 2 clean oil drain pans. I would like to take it outside and test it but I have yet to go that far. It does what a real Excavator should do and it does it well. You can even do multiple actions at once, like extend the arm, the bucket and swing to the side in one motion. I do plan to toughen it up with stronger motors/servos but that is just because I like to customize things. But as it is, it is a fully capable machine and alot of fun to mess around with. I have had no problems with it so far. As a whole it is a great experience.

We gave this to our 4 year old for Christmas and he has really enjoyed it. Along with the creative play, he has been learning how to coordinate the many different control options, which seems like a good problem solving exercise. We have found the battery life to be quite short, seems like less than 30 minutes of play. That is not unreasonable given the amount of work the excavator can do, and if it was a drawback we could get a spare battery pack. It does recharge in about an hour. Other ratings seem to indicate a longer play time and charge time so perhaps we received a poor battery. Other notes - - the "diesel" sound the excavator can make is far louder than I would like. It is easy to turn the sound off, but there is no way to just reduce the volume - I would rather not have the "demo mode" button on the controller, if pressed unintentionally the demo mode gets loud and goes on for a while, and the only way to stop it is to turn the excavator off - The price when we bought it was $45 and it seems a good value for that; I see the price is higher now and I do not think I would pay more than about $55

UPDATE Part2: I didn’t want to give up gettin a response from the company, once I found out that TopRace is a family run business. I wrote a letter to them explaining the situation with my faulty excavator. Within days, I received a hand written letter and a new excavator! I’m still blown away. This one has a functional battery compartment, so my first one definitely was defective. I’ve change my rating to five starts. Love the excavator and their customer service just showed me that they do care about my satisfaction. Thanks again, Dave! (First Review): Very happy taking this out of the package. Very sturday and seems well made. Have had a couple of issues, though. The wheels with treads on one side stopped working after about two hours of accumulated use. I checked it for sand, etc, but found nothing obvious wrong with it. Very disappointing. The second thing I have an issue with is the battery compartment. What you see in the picture is it. The cover just sits on top of the battery well, and the little knobby sits in the hole provided, but nothing is actually attached to anything 🤷🏻‍♀️. Needless to say, I’ve had to search for the cover and knob in the backyard a couple of times already. Hate gumming it up with duct tape, but just confused why my cheap RC tractors have better compartment doors. UPDATE: contacted company about issues and never heard back. Not impressed with customer service. I’d take off another star for that alone.

Geiles Teil. Fahre/baggern jeden tag seit dem er angekommen ist 4 Stunden. Bin froh diesen bagger gekauft zu haben. Fährt sich sehr gut und baggern wie ein grosser. Am besten eignet sich hierfür Blumenerde. Für die was schreiben er geht nicht mehr... Dass dachte ich zu Beginn auch bin nur an den bewegungs Speicher Knopf angekommen. Zu der rutsch Kupplung... Da die Schaufel Metall ist, ist diese auch recht schwer bei leerer Schaufel und voll ausgestreckten arm neigt sich der bagger weg was zu einer leichten querstellung von bagger Oberteil zu den ketten Unterbau daher rutscht er hier gerne mal durch. Wenn dir Schaufel nicht ganz ausgefahren ist funktioniert es ohne Probleme! Da mein Schwiegervater Geburtstag hatte und er genauso auf bagger steht wie ich haben wir ihm auch einen bestellt. Schwiegervater und ich (31jahre) sind voll auf begeistert! Von daher verstehe ich einige schlechte Bewertungen hier gar nicht. Bedinungsfehler sind die eigene schuld und ich würde den bagger sofort weiter empfehlen! Werde auf jedenfall weiter Filmen und ins Net stellen. Der Akku ist sehr Leistungsfähigkeit fähig, ich baggern mit einer Akku Ladung fast 2 Stunden durch! Echt bewundernswert. Zudem sind die 700mah 7,2v Akkus in rc Fahrzeugen verbaut die meist 600 Euro aufwärts kosten. FAZIT geiler bagger mit sehr langem durchhalte Vermögen. An die rutsch Kupplungen muss man sich gewöhnen aber für den preis echt ein Hammer Teil.

Es de buenísimo material, resistente y más fuerte de lo que esperaba de una réplica. Es un poco lento (pero es lo que se espera de una excavadora) y la batería no dura mucho, especialmente si lo usas muy a menudo.

Fun toy only shipping took lot longer than anticipated ....

Ma compagne me l'a offert à Noël, et cela a été l'un de mes plus beau cadeaux de Noël de toute ma vie ! C'est un modèle fabuleux, efficace et hyper réaliste. On se prends très vite au jeu du terrassier. J'ai acheté un bac en plastique que j'ai rempli de sable et de cailloux, et depuis je m'éclate comme un gamin. Les chenilles sont puissantes et solides, les mouvement sont réalistes, bref que du bonheur ! Un tout petit bémol cependant, la rotation à 680°, c'est à dire qu'au bout de 2.5 tours sur elle même, elle "bloque" et on est obligé de revenir en arrière. (pourquoi pas infinie comme sur une vraie ?) Mais c'est vraiment un détail, sinon c'est un vrai plaisir, je recommande chaudement l'engin, vous allez adorer !

A great piece of kit, well built and works great.
