DigDuty RC Construction Vehicles

Most remote-control toys are a car that goes forwards and backwards until the novelty runs out. A digger is different, because a digger has a job.

The DigDuty RC Construction Vehicles are die-cast metal and plastic machines that actually work — the excavator swings a full 680°, the arm digs, the dump truck tips and the bulldozer pushes.

Up to eleven channels on the excavator, with a high-frequency remote that holds a signal across a garden. Rechargeable, with sound and lights.

Why You'll Love It

⛏ It Actually Digs
The arm bends at two joints and the bucket scoops. In a sandpit or a flower bed it moves real material, which is the entire difference from a toy that only drives.

🔄 680° Of Swing
The excavator body rotates almost twice round on its tracks, the way the real machine does. Children work this out in about four seconds.

🏗 Metal, Not All Plastic
Die-cast alloy bodies with thickened rubber tracks. They have weight to them, and they survive being driven into a kerb.

📡 The Remote Holds Up
Anti-interference high frequency, so several can run at once without fighting each other — which matters if there are two children and two machines.

🔊 Lights And Engine Sound
Working headlights and a one-click demo mode. Noisy in the way a six-year-old wants and an adult can switch off.

🔌 Rechargeable
USB cable in the box, so there is no hunt for AA batteries halfway through Christmas morning.

🏖 Sand, Grass Or Carpet
The tracked models handle rough ground; the wheeled dump truck is happiest on something flat. Between them they cover the garden and the living room.

🚛 They Work Together
The excavator loads, the dump truck carries, the bulldozer clears. Two or three machines turn into a site rather than three separate toys.

🧰 Screwdriver Included
For the battery compartment. A small thing, but it is the part people are usually missing on the day.

🎁 It Lasts Past Boxing Day
Something with a job to do gets played with in February. That is a higher bar than most remote-control toys clear.

Before They Dig

Charge it fully first — 20 to 25 minutes of running takes a few hours to put back. Note the vehicles ship in protective foam rather than a printed box.

Rated 14+ by the manufacturer because of the small parts and the battery. In practice these are used by younger children with an adult nearby; keep the charging to a grown-up either way.
