Heh, same! I used to dream of such things as what's around today. Things were starting to get better in the later 80s as plastics were improving and by the early-90s I'd saved up for my first proper stadium truck kit build. But things like this, for so little money by modern standards, were just unheard of!
@mavicprotoe3959 and that is the desirable outcome, isn't it! I suppose that's happening for me with youtube. A situation for which I am indeed grateful! Thanks for dropping by 😎
I waited for so looong to get any construction vehicle thats not totally garbage and does not cost a 4000€. Thanks for review, keep delivering. Huina has some more to show:)
Woohoo! Glad you enjoyed! I'm looking at an upgrade video or series for this thing. Made the 'stick' cylinder gears click yesterday (through misuse, tried to lift the track when I didn't realise a bucket tooth was stuck under it), so there's potential for it to fail completely if I'm not careful. Keep an eye out for that, it's coming. This is a very solid machine and when I consider it's cost next to a typical rock crawler, I think the value for money is about the same. Yeah, they're making a dollar on these things, but they're thoughtfully designed and the value is there, I think. Cheers
@@Grecki_Bog_Domestos I had noticed that the when looking before I bought, yeah. Glad it was helpful. Can confirm there's more coming now - we'll do an upgrade and tuning video on it in about a month. Catch you then!
Funny thing is, that original CAT 336d is 3.29m wide, and Huina 1580 is 18cm wide, which makes for 1:18 scale. Definately not 1:14. Same goes for WPL B36 and JJRC Q61 truck. On the box it says 1:16, while after calculating the dimensions, it sums up for 1:18.
It's a bit cheeky, but that's just a shadow of the dozer they make. It is 1/16 on the box but I calculated it to average out to 1/29 scale!! I've got a video around here somewhere for it.
Haha yes, they do add up. RC construction equipment is super fun though! (Hydraulics is really where it's at, but $$$ is a barrier to entry unfortunately. Huina bridges the gap reasonably well, at least with the excavator).
Chinese manufacturers lie and then lie some more. You making out it doesnt really matter is worse. But thx for pointing out the b.s. Now im not buying one.
You know alot about rcs am wondering if you could help me my main board went out on my 1580 exavor and I was just wondering if I can get away with buying a new board for it or do I have to buy the new radio as well bout together
Hm, I don't know for sure, but I'd expect that when you turn a controller on and then the new board, it should bind and "just work". I can't promise this, but I'm pretty sure you can just replace the board. If it helps, it's what I would do! Hopefully it works out!
Ah yes, I did notice this Huina excavator in online shopping like Shopee, Lazada, and Aliexpress. The thing is really nice and beautiful, and I almost want to buy it if it is not for the knock-off cheapo plastic version of a Playstation 1 controller (01:32) I used to have when I was a kid. Watching your video makes me reconsider buying in the future, later future.
It's really not so bad and it doesn't feel all that much like the PS1 controller. A little bit, I guess. The tall sticks help separate it from that feeling tho!!
@@RCTNT yeah, now you mentioned the sticks , the controller does actually look more like my old Play Station 2 controller (not the other type that have a rough grip below the end of controller). Anyhow, the Huina model you got is a great rc, and I happened to tumble upon a similar Huina excavator model like yours in Shopee. It costs about AUD 1597.13 (RM4500). Crazy expensive. Not sure why it is crazy expensive, but from the details I checked from the online shop, the excavator looks kind of more solid than your current model (no offense, sorry) and might be on par with rc excavators of other prominent brands.
No offence taken at all, lol! I have every huina model here, and others too, and I have a big round up coming soon. But the model you're looking at is overpriced and should be around aud$1100. It's their best non-hydraulic model.
@@RCTNT hmm, but earlier yesterday I checked at Shopee, that model is a hydraullic model based on the ad. Probably that is the reason why it is so expensive, but really, it is still criminally too expensive just for a normal rc excavator. I saw several rc excavator going about AUD 15,971.31 (RM 45000) at Shopee. That amount is more than enough to go for a decent sized train set (for e.g., Kato) or almost enough for me to buy a local produced sedan car in my country.
@@aaronlimeuchin7352 they're not cheap, but the components and assembly is considerable. I've done a hydraulic conversion of the 1580 on my channel not too long ago and that was a big job. If you saw a legit Huina hydraulic one for under AUD$2k, that's an excellent price, expensive though they are. Some of these hydraulic toys go for up to around AUD$30k, which is mind-bogglingly expensive. I'm going to reveal a very expensive model on my channel soonish, it's here in a big 176kg crate that was delivered not long ago. There's no way I'd have bought it if I wasn't doing YT as a business, because that's just so, so much money. But wow, there's a lot of choice out there these days, eh?
I mean, it'll survive a light shower, but no, it isn't waterproof. In your last question I answered with my upgrade article - that includes a section on waterproofing the PCBs in the machine. You can clean it with a rag or a wipe. Brush out the tracks with stiff bristled brush. Don't use a hose or running water.
Do whatever the manual says, don't exceed it or it won't work. It's been a while, but doesn't it say just 1 or 2 drops? If you've done more, just keep using the machine with the smoker on and eventually it'll start to work again. Might take a few play sessions though.
but that's just it, I received it and I don't know if it was there or not, so I did something like 4-5 times as stated on paper, it worked the day I cut it, it works and suddenly nothing stops anymore.
About the weight discrepancy, it could be a translation error between the Chinese weigh scale ”Jin” vs kg. Jin and kg sounds similar in their language but aren’t the same. 2 Jin = 1kg which might explain why the stipulated weight of 11+ was double what you weighed in kilogram 5+kg. Anyway I love your channel and this little distraction of yours is seriously tempting me to get an excavator! Thanks for putting out the videos.
I've not heard of it but I love my little electric chainsaw! Super handy for small jobs and no mess or hassle of getting the big unit out. Nice analogy :)
It was an AliExpress store that doesn't seem to exist any longer. Since I bought mine, a few things have released: - a full hydraulic conversion kit for the 1580, which costs about as much again as the 1580; - the huina 1599 which costs 40% more again than the 1580 and appears to have about the strongest linear actuators on any of these toys - could be the best non-hydraulic choice; - Double E has made a splash with a bunch of great value machines. RC Construction seems to be a growing niche so I'm keeping an eye on the developments.
A long time. It comes with a little bottle for it and you only use a few drops at a time. It'll last more play sessions than you'll use it, most likely. No danger. Uses fine copper braid with voltage passed through it to heat up, like a car cigarette lighter. The liquid smokes at a relatively low temperature. Completely contained, enclosed, and quite safe 👍
I am not familiar with the EC160E, I'm sorry. (Maybe I should get one and compare the two... Edit. Oh I see, this one will be like the 1592. Weaker, very likely, for that money.) The 1580 is good, though. Hydraulic even better, but that's more money. And if you spend less, on like the 1592, the weaker gears will be a problem. I like the 1580. Mine is still great, even a few years later.
Awesome video buddy but I got a question, the link in the description to get this takes you to Amazon and the brand that the link takes you to is a “top race” brand, is it the same brand just renamed?
Oops, thanks. I've added a note on the video description now to address that. It's the exact same machine, just with different branding. I also noticed they have updated the radio transmitter now, but the machine is the identical, to the best of my close inspection!
For that money, this model (1580) is still the best choice. The 1593 is weaker, but if you're only playing lightly, it'll do. Stretch to 1k and you may be able to find a basic hydraulic one that'll be a shade better.
Thanks for the review. Do you have a photo of the excavator next to the scx24? I have been looking for a scale excavator to go with my scx24s but the only 1:24 scale excavators I could find do not match the performance of even the more basic 1:14 or 1:16 scale excavators. I found a 1:20 scale excavator that has good performance, but it is priced far too high for my budget. So thus I've been looking for some midrange 1:14/1:16 scale excavators instead. Thanks!
Hi Jonathan, you want this video at the 2:25 mark, give or take: th-cam.com/video/SKGPLi9tRnM/w-d-xo.html That's the Scx24 JLU right next to the 1580. The scale is getting closer. It isn't exact but it's not too bad. Also, you get a driver's perspective of size difference via FPV in the SCX24 at about the 3:14 mark on this video: th-cam.com/video/AHXCgrAwyiU/w-d-xo.html
Fair enough. I just went and looked at the EC160E and I don't necessarily agree about it being better - they both use electric actuators, right? It does look better, for sure. Certainly, the little Huina here never was state of the art. Cheap, yes. But people have been making hydraulic RCs for quite some years now, even some smaller ones which generally leave the actuator-powered ones in the dust. I'm building a better version of my large hydraulic excavator, upgrading the brushed motors to brushless and improving the oil tap servos. There are usually ways to improve these things :)
@@RCTNT ECE is more scale and more powerfull lift up too 9kg in heavy soil.The Hydraulic version work "in line" all cylinders chare one hydraulic pump because this the electrioc is near fast than the hydraulic version.
Most hydraulic models share the one pump, including my larger scale hydraulic unit. At 5mpa it has about 20kg lift strength now. I'm going to do a round-up of gearbox and linear-actuator based excavators. 8 or 10 of them. I've got the E568-003 already here and the E010-003 on its way too. That's the one you mentioned with the 9kg boom (7kg arm and 5kg bucket strength, too). The Huina 599 also is coming, so we can put the E010 up against the 599 in a variety of tests. I may do hydraulic models in future, but that's a substantially bigger investment and my channel isn't big enough to justify such a thing - yet. We'll fill the knowledge gap for these electric ones, though. I've tried to get one of everything currently available.
Giddy mate thanks for the upload. Great video! Curious, how much does a machine with real hydraulics cost? And are there any in Australia that aren’t as much as the real thing lol in price thanks mate.
They are getting cheaper. One way is to buy one of these Huina 1580 models and spend about the same again on a hydraulic conversion kit. The next cheapest way is to get one like mine: th-cam.com/video/pKm4xhfe-I8/w-d-xo.html . Not in Australia, but that's what I know of anyway!
@@RCTNTi got 2 for 130 😅 last year ‚top race‘ was selling out on Amazon, just rebranded huina. Bought the 1580 for 100 and a small one for 30 but they send me two 1580 😅 will never happen again, and yes it was the plastic version
You'll have to work that one out yourself. It varies depending on where you buy and where you are in the world. Just do a Web search for 'huina 1580' and you'll have your answer. Cheers
Hi I just brought one yesterday was playing with it today the worm drivr on on bucket is over screwing out there should be limit switch on it and seaping oill from the drive too ☹️have contacted the shop will take back on Wednesday 😮💨
Ah that's no good! Hope they get you sorted easily. It's a well designed machine overall so maybe it was just a dud switch or something. Sorry to hear it anyway!
I sort of want to see it run your crawler course. Yes, you can use the arm lol. Have you seen these things maneuver on a hill like that? I am impressed with the Hulna. I had no idea. Well explained with some good laughs too.
Oof I wouldn't want to try! But I have small pile of upgrades sitting here waiting for a video update on this little machine. Really must get around to that!
Thanks! Re weight, I don't know what to tell you, there. I reported what I weighed and those same scales report 5kg when I weigh a 5kg weight plate, 2.5kg for same and 10kg for same, so they're accurate. I guess manufacturing processes aren't the tightest with these things, but still, a 2kg weight difference? Are you sure yours is 7kg? (not saying it isn't, but 2kg is a big difference between our two units!)
You can do it with the radio with an upgrade - a powered, tool-free bucket-swap adapter! It's included in my more detailed write-up (including links to where I got the parts): rc-tnt.com/how-to/huina-1580-upgrades/
@RC-TNT you have a bigger one??? Haha awesome. Another annoying question. Does having a gyro help when just crawling focused? I'm buying a decent transceiver today.
@RC-TNT sweet. Money saver. How many channels? I plan on doing alot of custom wiring and such. I've been testing engine sounds and it's a method no one uses hehe
I've made a few different engine sound setups myself. At least 5 different kinds: custom arduino one that included reverse beep, smoke control and start up and stop rumble; a diesel one by a UK hobbyist; a couple of cheap Chinese no brand ones; the ess one and duo ones; the Cross RC branded one in my BC8 Mammoth; plus a couple of others I can picture but can't recall names for. Though an extra channel can be helpful to change pitch, volume, start/stop and horn sounds, you really only need a y-harness on the throttle channel. A channel for winch. 1 or 2 for diff lock. Another for high/low speed. For cost effectiveness, the best one I can recommend that does all this is the Flysky GT5: asiate.es/aff?l=150074&i=76070 The nice thing about the GT5 is that you can buy the FS-A3 and FS-A6 receivers for very little money to add models to the radio. I have several GT5 handsets here and their 20 model memories are mostly full. They're great.
See 1:06 onwards. Bit of an explanation for that, but mine was 5.4kg. (and thanks for asking the question! My chapters were all messed up. Fixed now, thanks to you!)
It was imperfect but it did measure the strength of each component. The cab sits on the chassis, over the tracks. That's on the ground. We're measuring the arm pulling up, away from the ground.
@norro21 the chassis was being pressed into the ground. The arm was trying to lift. The scale measures the pull upward from the ground anchor in this case.
A Chinese scam website? I've used a mixture of local stores and big online places for many years. AliExpress, Banggood and direct factories in China, AsiaTees in Hong Kong, Amain & small manufacturers & sellers in the USA, Hobbies Direct and Metro Hobbies locally to me here in Australia, etc etc. No scam, just the places I've been using for about a decade in most cases, and for some, much longer.
you can buy direct from huina which have stock in distribution centers around the world for faster delivery .. they have stock in australia for you diggers.

Thanks for the review. Do you have a photo of the excavator next to the scx24? I have been looking for a scale excavator to go with my scx24s but the only 1:24 scale excavators I could find do not match the performance of even the more basic 1:14 or 1:16 scale excavators. I found a 1:20 scale excavator that has good performance, but it is priced far too high for my budget. So thus I've been looking for some midrange 1:14/1:16 scale excavators instead.
Thanks!
Hi Jonathan, you want this video at the 2:25 mark, give or take:
th-cam.com/video/SKGPLi9tRnM/w-d-xo.html
That's the Scx24 JLU right next to the 1580.
The scale is getting closer. It isn't exact but it's not too bad.
Also, you get a driver's perspective of size difference via FPV in the SCX24 at about the 3:14 mark on this video:

Time goes by and now the state of the art are the double E e160e electric excavator.
Fair enough. I just went and looked at the EC160E and I don't necessarily agree about it being better - they both use electric actuators, right? It does look better, for sure.
Certainly, the little Huina here never was state of the art. Cheap, yes. But people have been making hydraulic RCs for quite some years now, even some smaller ones which generally leave the actuator-powered ones in the dust.
I'm building a better version of my large hydraulic excavator, upgrading the brushed motors to brushless and improving the oil tap servos. There are usually ways to improve these things :)
@@RCTNT ECE is more scale and more powerfull lift up too 9kg in heavy soil.The Hydraulic version work "in line" all cylinders chare one hydraulic pump because this the electrioc is near fast than the hydraulic version.
Most hydraulic models share the one pump, including my larger scale hydraulic unit. At 5mpa it has about 20kg lift strength now.
I'm going to do a round-up of gearbox and linear-actuator based excavators. 8 or 10 of them.
I've got the E568-003 already here and the E010-003 on its way too. That's the one you mentioned with the 9kg boom (7kg arm and 5kg bucket strength, too). The Huina 599 also is coming, so we can put the E010 up against the 599 in a variety of tests.
I may do hydraulic models in future, but that's a substantially bigger investment and my channel isn't big enough to justify such a thing - yet.
We'll fill the knowledge gap for these electric ones, though. I've tried to get one of everything currently available.
Greeeeeat 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 congratulation 🇮🇹
Giddy mate thanks for the upload. Great video! Curious, how much does a machine with real hydraulics cost? And are there any in Australia that aren’t as much as the real thing lol in price thanks mate.
They are getting cheaper. One way is to buy one of these Huina 1580 models and spend about the same again on a hydraulic conversion kit. The next cheapest way is to get one like mine: th-cam.com/video/pKm4xhfe-I8/w-d-xo.html . Not in Australia, but that's what I know of anyway!
someone plz??..how to clean this excavator cause that not water resistant
Dry toothbrush for tracks, wet wipe for body.
Can disassemble and really clean at the parts level if you got really muddy!
@@RCTNT thank you very much
I got mine for about a $100 from Amazon happy to subscribe.
You got a 1580 for $100?!
When? How? I have questions! Bargain of the century here! Nice one
Probably the plastic version?
You've gotta think so, right?
@@RCTNTi got 2 for 130 😅 last year ‚top race‘ was selling out on Amazon, just rebranded huina. Bought the 1580 for 100 and a small one for 30 but they send me two 1580 😅 will never happen again, and yes it was the plastic version
@@DMAX-tp4pc WOW!!!
Very nice video presentation, I am thinking about another excavator maybe one like that
Glad you enjoyed it. I've got an upgrade video coming soon when all the delayed bits finally get here! Cheers
@@RCTNT I have you on notification so when you launch it I will see it. Looking forward
Liking your channel more and more.
Awesome review my rc friend, great machine, good job 😀👍
Hey, thanks for watching! Appreciate the encouragement :)

How much does it costs
It varies, depending on where you are in the world. It's about AUD$700, but it depends where you buy.
Nz 900$😊
And on when you buy, evidently!
Nice rap-up. Thanks for the info and impressions. =)
No worries! I also have a follow-up vid that covers some upgrades I made, if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/M5xmmF577og/w-d-xo.html
Cheers :)
I have huina 1550 but not strong.
The 1580 needed more power too, hence my upgrade video, so I can appreciate the 1550 would be lacking. Still, they're great models eh!
Nice Video Excavator my friend 🤗👍
Nice excavator, my RC friend :)
How much is the price please
You'll have to work that one out yourself. It varies depending on where you buy and where you are in the world. Just do a Web search for 'huina 1580' and you'll have your answer. Cheers
Hi I just brought one yesterday was playing with it today the worm drivr on on bucket is over screwing out there should be limit switch on it and seaping oill from the drive too ☹️have contacted the shop will take back on Wednesday 😮💨
Ah that's no good! Hope they get you sorted easily. It's a well designed machine overall so maybe it was just a dud switch or something. Sorry to hear it anyway!
Thank you 🙂👍
For that kind of money they should have made forward and reverse proportionate.
I kinda agree, but if it helps, it's too slow to really be a problem. It didn't stand out to me during testing, for whatever its worth!
I sort of want to see it run your crawler course. Yes, you can use the arm lol. Have you seen these things maneuver on a hill like that? I am impressed with the Hulna. I had no idea. Well explained with some good laughs too.
Oof I wouldn't want to try!
But I have small pile of upgrades sitting here waiting for a video update on this little machine. Really must get around to that!
Great review, thanks. The weight should be 7 kg.
Thanks! Re weight, I don't know what to tell you, there. I reported what I weighed and those same scales report 5kg when I weigh a 5kg weight plate, 2.5kg for same and 10kg for same, so they're accurate. I guess manufacturing processes aren't the tightest with these things, but still, a 2kg weight difference? Are you sure yours is 7kg? (not saying it isn't, but 2kg is a big difference between our two units!)
good rc🤩🤩🤩
У меня такой же)2 года уже и не сломался ни разу
Очень хороший! мне все еще нравится эта машина 😎👍
@@RCTNT я с вами согласен)я ещё гидравлический имею,25кг тоже крутая вещь)
О, круто! Я тоже! Хотя я пока не очень хорош в этом.

@@RCTNT классный экскаватор))))у меня xdrs liebherr 945)))))хочу купить ещё kabolite k970)))
Да, этот выглядит очень хорошо. Когда-нибудь, а?
Interesting thanks for sharing always wondered about rc tractors/machinery.
Thanks for watching! I find this stuff really interesting and fun, too :)
Too bad you have to change the box with the screws and that you can't do this with your remote control
You can do it with the radio with an upgrade - a powered, tool-free bucket-swap adapter!
It's included in my more detailed write-up (including links to where I got the parts):
rc-tnt.com/how-to/huina-1580-upgrades/
its not hydraulic then
This one? Nope, linear actuators :)
Brasil 🚜👍
Needs head tracking fpv
Heh, I did experiment with fpv in this machine a couple of years back, though not with head tracking!
th-cam.com/video/AHXCgrAwyiU/w-d-xo.html
That is awesome
They're still quite popular. I need to get around to doing a video for my bigger hydraulic one
@RC-TNT you have a bigger one??? Haha awesome.
Another annoying question. Does having a gyro help when just crawling focused? I'm buying a decent transceiver today.
Yes I do and it's epic!
Gyro is pointless on a crawler :)
@RC-TNT sweet. Money saver. How many channels? I plan on doing alot of custom wiring and such. I've been testing engine sounds and it's a method no one uses hehe
I've made a few different engine sound setups myself. At least 5 different kinds: custom arduino one that included reverse beep, smoke control and start up and stop rumble; a diesel one by a UK hobbyist; a couple of cheap Chinese no brand ones; the ess one and duo ones; the Cross RC branded one in my BC8 Mammoth; plus a couple of others I can picture but can't recall names for.
Though an extra channel can be helpful to change pitch, volume, start/stop and horn sounds, you really only need a y-harness on the throttle channel.
A channel for winch.
1 or 2 for diff lock.
Another for high/low speed.
For cost effectiveness, the best one I can recommend that does all this is the Flysky GT5: asiate.es/aff?l=150074&i=76070
The nice thing about the GT5 is that you can buy the FS-A3 and FS-A6 receivers for very little money to add models to the radio. I have several GT5 handsets here and their 20 model memories are mostly full. They're great.
Weight of this one?
See 1:06 onwards. Bit of an explanation for that, but mine was 5.4kg.
(and thanks for asking the question! My chapters were all messed up. Fixed now, thanks to you!)
@@RCTNT sorry
@@unknown-nd6li you didn't mess anything up! Your question led me to realise I'd made a mess. You helped me fix it! Thanks again :)
You didn't measure the strength, you measured the weight of the cab part
It was imperfect but it did measure the strength of each component. The cab sits on the chassis, over the tracks. That's on the ground. We're measuring the arm pulling up, away from the ground.
@@RCTNT but you hadn't pinned it down to the ground, the only thing holding it down was leveraging against its own weight
@norro21 the chassis was being pressed into the ground. The arm was trying to lift. The scale measures the pull upward from the ground anchor in this case.
In the description theres an link to aliexpress whats an Chinese scam website why did you put an link there?
A Chinese scam website? I've used a mixture of local stores and big online places for many years. AliExpress, Banggood and direct factories in China, AsiaTees in Hong Kong, Amain & small manufacturers & sellers in the USA, Hobbies Direct and Metro Hobbies locally to me here in Australia, etc etc. No scam, just the places I've been using for about a decade in most cases, and for some, much longer.
@@RCTNT Ok
you can buy direct from huina which have stock in distribution centers around the world for faster delivery .. they have stock in australia for you diggers.
