1/87 HO scale radio control excavator
Maker Faire Bay Area 2025
September 26th-28th
1/87 HO scale radio controlled excavator. It is fully functional with 6 motors and multiple LEDs all in ultra micro form factor that can fit comfortably in the palm of your hand! I will also have other still in development models on display as well.

From a lifelong background of radio control hobbies, I decided to create something I wanted since childhood that did not exist then or now. HO scale radio control vehicles other than trains are basically are non existent. I spent 4 years learning the skills needed to bring my ultra micro excavator to life. From 3D printing, custom electronics, fabrication and more, I learned a lot and got in over my head more than once. Thanks to many helpful people along this project's journey it was a great success!
