r/RCConstruction

Hi, I find this hobby really fascinating and have finally decided to get started—I’ve picked up an RC excavator. However, I still need to connect it to a receiver and then pair the receiver with the remote control. Can anyone help me with that?

Please let me know if this is the wrong community for this; I'm not very experienced with Reddit.

Trying to figure out why Heavy Duty RC sells the V5 at 700.00 and it appears Toucan is selling the same thing at 427.00 thoughts on why they are different.

Hello hello, I've been fascinated by RC for some time now. As a full-time mechanic at the age of 25, I've started a side hustle of starting my very own RC track/store specialized in Rock Crawling and Construction in Katy, Texas. Due to funding, I've opted for a lean approach by making a course on a trailer and making my store mobile for pop up events, great for sharing our favorite hobby to the public! Following the LLC filing, I created an online store and wanted to share the accessories I make (Each one engineered using CAD and plenty of failed prints). Have been to 2 events so far, and the number of people who don't know it exists is... crazy! So far we have flags, roof rack accessories, traffic cones, etc. Soon to have RTR's but working on securing a dealer - we do, however, have a partnership with Injora, and will soon house their parts. The kids absolutely love the trailer, witnessed them pulling their parents over to try our cars. We also offer birthday and corporate events with a fleet of various RC vehicles

I’m trying to decide what piece of RC construction equipment I wish to purchase. Around $1000.

What vehicle has been the most useful to you?
For instance, if you get a skid loader, can you change out the bucket for a standard blade and use it for getting rid of snow? Or put a forklift on it and use it underneath the house.

I’m just trying to find something that I can use for different stuff.
