RC Clamshell Excavator Truck

RC Clamshell Excavator Truck — 2,819 Piece Heavy Machinery Building Set

RC Clamshell Excavator Truck is a machine designed around accuracy rather than play, and it shows in the part choices. It runs to 2,819 pieces at 1:8 scale and takes around 7-10 hours to complete.

What Youre Building

The model is assembled as undercarriage, slew ring and upper structure, each finished as a separate unit before final assembly. Completed, it measures 53 cm x 17 cm x 40 cm (21 in x 7 in x 16 in). At 1:8, the proportions are set for display rather than play.

Inside the Box

2,819 ABS bricks with consistent clutch power, sorted into numbered bags. A printed manual guides the build step by step. Every brick is compatible with the major building systems, so parts from an existing collection drop straight in. If a piece is missing or damaged, our spare-parts guarantee covers the replacement.

The Build

Rated intermediate, this is a steady, rewarding build suited to builders comfortable with multi-stage assembly. Expect roughly 7-10 hours for a first pass at a steady pace. Working through the machine in stages keeps the bench manageable, and sorting parts before you start saves time on a build of this size.

Display & Specifications

Finished, the machine sits best where the boom can be extended without hitting anything. Allow 53 cm of width for the footprint.
