All functions are emulated.

Although this model is much more expensive, but on similar products, but it also offers much more.
It's not just about the great looking pollution and the realistic simulation of all functions, but also the engine power.
Unlike many cheap products you can tilt the blade separately here. The traction motor is stronger than the cheap "brothers" and the vehicle also has front and rear lights.
The blade creates a weight of about 1 kilo up (measured with two packs risotto rice), which already represents a remarkable achievement when one compares it with the maximum of 200 grams, cope with the cheaper models.
Good are also engaging in various places slip clutches, so that the joint functions can not break.
The profile is visually indeed very well reproduced, though the tires with hard plastic tires (instead of rubber tires) very detrimental because they have virtually no responsibility when it comes to ride outdoors against a Sandberg. And inside slip it always, whether carpeted or parquet floors. I therefore hurried along with homemade snow chains - see pictures. Now flutscht's!
The professional hobbyist can of course real rubber tires retrofit (tire diameter 10.5 cm, diameter central tire-opening 5.5 cm, tire width 4 cm).
Another disadvantage is the supplied battery with a too low power, since the 4.8 volts at 800 mAh bring no long-lasting fun, because when using all possibilities with this little battery already after about 10 minutes final. Since then has to clean at least one battery with 2000 mAh, then the holding rd. 20 Minutes.
The battery connector on the wheel loader is a so-called "Mini Tamiya" socket, which facilitates the cordless range the replacement of a stronger battery with a matching plug, because this type of connection is common. Otherwise, a corresponding plug on the battery must provide even be attached (some model making specialist shops offer such an "upgrading" for a small fee at).
Is a bit unfortunate that one with six 1.5 volt AA batteries must operate the remote control. Since it would have a 9V done. The remote control has no antenna, which considerably reduces the risk of injury, especially if small children play with the vehicle. The antenna on the vehicle is invisible hidden in the chassis, which reduces the danger, kinking these to zero. Nevertheless, the wireless range is very good. With full batteries / battery and free of obstacles, it is good for around 30 (!) Meters.
Length blade 52,5 cm, height up driver pulpit 21.5 cm, height with driven upwards blade 29.5 cm, width 18.5 cm.
I can only recommend the model if you want to play realistic loader functions, since the cheaper vehicles do not cover it completely.
