Mighty Crafters 1:16 RC Construction Vehicles

Ever wished your childhood dump truck could puff steam like a locomotive and move with the grace of a mechanical ballerina? Well, grab your hard hat. The Mighty Crafters 1:16 RC construction fleet is here — and no, they’re not toys. They’re just cleverly disguised grown-up obsessions that happen to fit in your backpack.

Built from real alloy metal and powered by rechargeable 14500 lithium-ion batteries, these vehicles move like the real deal and even belch water vapor from tiny exhausts for that “I just bulldozed your flowerbed” authenticity. The Gravel Master spins its turret a full 640 degrees.

The Stone Crusher pours concrete with actual steam hiss. Meanwhile, the Thunder Hauler dumps 300g (0.66 lb) of whatever you dare to load in. Need more? The Iron Claw forklift turns tight and lifts with alloy arms, while the Sky Breaker crane lifts up to 2kg (4.4 lb) and rotates like it owns the skyline.

Controlled with a 2.4GHz remote and boasting a range of 30–40 meters (98–131 feet), each vehicle runs 15–20 minutes per swappable battery. They’re also open to DIY hacking, with modders encouraged to add Raspberry Pi brains or 3D-printed claws. Steam and silicone, working hand in hand.
