Radio Controlled Earth Mover 3058-1 Construction digger

Radio Controlled Earth Mover 3058-1 Review


•    Speed
2/5

No real speed with this digger, but you wouldn’t expect to be racing about while doing the construction and it moves fast enough to do it’s job.
•    Handling
 3/5

As with the speed you wouldn’t be expecting spot on high speed cornering but it has quite a unique system where the front half of the body moves from left to right instead of just the wheels to steer, not the best but it turns and gives the feel of a real construction vehicle.
•    Looks
3/5

As this is just a replica model of a digger there’s not really much it can do in the way of looks but with mud effect tires and everything a real digger has it certainly does its job, although it’s not the best looking thing.
•    Price
 3/5

Pretty decent price, you get a nice big functional digger, looks like a digger, performs reasonable enough nice fair price.
•    Control Range
  3/5

Nothing amazing with this, it’s not gonna reach miles but can do more than enough and its doubtful you’ll encounter problems.
•    Battery Usage
 3/5

Same as most of the bigger vehicles with this, a built in rechargeable battery that comes with it’s own plug in charger and will last for a pretty long time, and only requires 1 9V battery in the controller which again will last a long long time.
•    Controller
2.5/5

Uses 1 9V battery pretty usual forward and backwards, and left and right motion along with 2 buttons below the control sticks to move the digger bucket up and down nice easy to use and colour coded with the digger, but I just get the feeling of cheapness with this controller, although it does everything and very capably it just doesn’t feel very durable. .
•    Over view
All in all this is a very good construction vehicle, really good size, great ability to pick up things and drop them, decent enough movements and an okay controller, all for a reasonable price not the best but is more than enough to keep the kids entertained for me it just gets a 3 out of 5.
