DIECAST MASTERS CATERPILLAR 320 1/16 RC EXCAVATOR W/ BUCKET, GRAPPLE & HAMMER RTR

FULL-SIZE CONSTRUCTION REALISM IN A HEAVY 1/16-SCALE RC EXCAVATOR.

The Diecast Masters Caterpillar 320 1/16 RC Excavator — DCM28005 is an officially licensed Cat® radio-controlled construction model engineered to deliver realistic digging, carrying, grappling and hammering operation. It combines authentic Caterpillar styling with independently controlled boom, stick and bucket movement, precision track control, 360-degree upper-structure rotation, functional lights, realistic sound and three working tool configurations.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED CATERPILLAR SCALE DETAIL

The DCM28005 uses genuine Caterpillar® Yellow paint and updated Modern Hex trade dress based on real Cat machine reference material. The graphics, nomenclature and overall proportions are designed to reproduce the appearance of the full-size Cat 320 while keeping the model fully functional as an RC excavator rather than a static display piece.

REALISTIC BOOM, STICK & BUCKET CONTROL

Independent boom, stick and bucket functions allow the excavator to perform realistic digging and dumping sequences. The upper structure rotates a full 360 degrees, making it possible to dig, swing, carry and dump from different positions just like a full-size tracked excavator.

THREE WORKING TOOL CONFIGURATIONS

The standard digging bucket can be replaced with the included working grapple attachment or hammer attachment. That gives the model significantly more operating variety than a bucket-only excavator and makes it suitable for digging, material handling and demolition-style play.

• Bucket: digging, scooping, carrying and dumping
• Grapple: grabbing and moving loose objects or material
• Hammer: demolition-style operating action

PRECISION TRACK DRIVE & 2.4GHZ RADIO

Individual left and right track control provides forward, reverse and steering functions with the deliberate movement expected from tracked construction equipment. The included multi-channel 2.4GHz radio system provides interference-resistant control with a manufacturer-listed operating distance of approximately 25 meters / 82 feet.

METAL-GEARED MECHANICAL DRIVE

Inside, Diecast Masters uses a precision-machined metal gear set together with a machined roll-screw style transmission and drive system. The model combines heavy-duty plastic and metal components, including a diecast digging bucket and metal gearing, for added durability in the working functions.

FUNCTIONAL LIGHTS & REALISTIC SOUND

Functional lighting and an integrated sound package add another layer of operating realism. Diecast Masters confirms both lights and sound functions, helping the Cat 320 feel more like a scale construction machine during operation rather than a basic RC toy.

INCLUDED 7.4V 2000MAH BATTERY & USB CHARGER

The excavator includes a 7.4V 2000mAh rechargeable lithium battery pack and USB charger. Retailer documentation lists approximately 45–60 minutes of operation per charge depending on use, with roughly a three-hour recharge time.

This product already includes its drive battery and charger, so no separate GASHEAD RC battery-package option is required.

GASHEAD RC OPERATING NOTES

• This model is not advertised as water resistant. Avoid wet soil, standing water and washing the machine with a hose.
• Use loose, workable material rather than compacted soil or oversized rocks that can overload the boom, bucket or drive system.
• Keep tracks, gears and attachment pivots clear of packed debris after operating sessions.
• Allow the drive and working motors to cool after extended heavy-load use.
• Charge the included battery on a suitable nonflammable surface and do not leave it unattended while charging.

GASHEAD RC VERDICT: The DCM28005 sits in a sweet spot between collectible scale model and functional RC construction machine. Its size, working attachments, metal gearing, diecast bucket, functional lighting, sound and independently controlled excavator functions give it substantially more presence and operating realism than entry-level toy-grade excavators, while the included battery, USB charger and 2.4GHz radio keep the package straightforward to run.
