all right last one guys this is the Arctic hobby land Rider 507 this is an
excavator it is ready to run it has all
kinds of different cool features but the first feature we're going to show you is
how the Box opens because
that is what we do on this channel
so I've been asked a number of times why am I unboxing fire trucks and tanks and
excavators and the answer is because Arctic hobby is related to Arctic
cooling which is a company that focuses
on PC hardware and has a partnership with NC where I work and ncx sells these
and I think they're bous as well so that
those are all the reasons I think that should be fairly uh self-explanatory at
this point I can't figure out how to get that uh controller out well we'll figure
it out after okay here we go so we've got included batteries both 9vt and
battery pack uh we've got a charged battery pack ready to go already down on
the floor over there so you can get um there's an Arctic charging station and
you can use that to charge the batteries um comes with the cable for that which
is somewhere and then you can also get the uh the other charger so that's the
one that we have which is just a wall wart and plugs into the wall okay we've
also got an antenna for the remote so I'm going to go ahead and now I'm going
to go ahead and not do anything because it's stuck and then finally we have one
of those little straws for the antenna that goes onto the excavator itself to
hold it up so that we get better
reception so this is all pretty much your standard fair not a bad idea for a
Christmas gift if there's uh you know someone you know who you don't like very
much and their kids around the age that they would enjoy a fire engine or a tank
or an excavator and you want to you want to give their parents something really
noisy and obnoxious here's all the different ways that the ARM is able to
be actuated not actually sure if I used that word correctly but I don't really
care it's very late I'm very tired and I
would like to go home but here I am in the tech tips room you know how it
is okay so let's pull this guy out and
see what we've got
here I mean we've got an excavator I know that much but let's see exactly
what we've got here how does this ah there this comes out that'll
help this this one is secured quite
differently from the other two so that
was what I needed to do to get it
out hopefully I'm not breaking it too badly here there we go we have our
excavator so why don't I let uh slick
who thinks it's hilarious when I break things apparently why don't I let slick
go ahead and take a closer look at the land Rider here while I go ahead and
start getting uh start getting it set up
and take the uh controller out and all that kind of good stuff let's get this
off so this is our antenna so in order to get this bad boy set up we're going
to have to go ahead and and uh hold on
there we go run this through the little straw
thingamajiggy you don't have to look closely at what I'm doing over here
that's fine just um show them the straw when it's done so you feed that through
there this thing actually looks pretty good actually all of these I'm surprised
given the price point and given the lack of context that I have for toys that are
available to kids these days and all that I mean you could not buy something
like this for hundred bucks when I was a kid so or like you could probably get
something like this but it certainly wouldn't be remote control like it would
look kind of like this I mean one thing that the that the toys that sort of we
had were were better for was the overall
construction quality like they tended to be made of of metal rather than being
made of plastic um although in terms of durability I'd say all these land Rider
devices are not bad at all because they're fairly solidly built although
what I haven't tried is you know doing extent Ive uh you know crash testing
with them or anything like that so it's hard to say how they're going to hold
out in the long term and I have no idea how you are
expected to remove this oh it's another
removable piece look at that okay there we go yeah there we go so I got to
remove that screw which means I'm going to have to go off camera give me a sec and I'm going to get this all assembled
here and we are going to test out this land Rider 507
like crazy Tech tip style okay guys so I'm just going to
take a closer look cuz I haven't even checked out the land Rider 507 much
myself yet so we've got rubber Treads this is something we've come to expect
from Arctic hobby products we've also got some pretty cool compensation going
on here you see that Flex there so it should be able to go over things fairly
easily uh what else we got here we got little sort of rubber hosing things
running around we've got sort of realistic looking Hydraulics with shiny
chromed silver pieces uh that's comes
off and then goes back on cool okay look at that look at that driver's seat it's
too bad that oh wait hold on yeah it's
too bad the door doesn't open otherwise you could totally put like a little action figure dude in there that'd be
kind of neat like a little Lego guy or something okay we got like a light here
I wonder if that light actually turns on I wouldn't be that surprised at this
point because so much of their stuff is uh like has light and sirens and whatnot
so here's the bucket so you can see here check this out so that's how the
hydraulics look when they work pretty good pretty good all right
let's uh let's go ahead and get started I'll show you guys the control up close
first Okay so we've got your left tread front and back your uh right tread
forward and backwards and then the bucket goes left and right up and down
and up and down in the various different places so let's try this out first thing
we're going to do is uh lift the lift the bucket up
hey look how fast that goes whoa there
we go okay let's try the other
one all right okay so let's try moving
this bad boy forward a little bit okay and then let's
go down down
okay huh I wonder what kind of weight it can
handle like here not much was the answer okay so you
can swing it around and swing it around the other way
oh oh check this out though guys I yep I was right so when you're doing
something this light does turn on oops sorry I'll give you better there you go
so you can see what you're doing in the dark now what kind of speed can we
expect out of the uh the land Rider 507 here let's let's uh move it around on
the tech tips floor
here there's that off-roading that I was
talking about there before we can spin in
place whack the Tex's whiteboard
again bam and then they all like here we
come slowly so it's I don't think it's
as fast as the fire track or the tank but it's got some you know it's got some
go to it it's him
go not a bad gift for kids or child like
adults although you could confuse someone by buying this for them and
putting it this way before you give it to them oh no look at that okay so oh
that's a little bit disappointing so you got to bring it all the way back around
in order to turn it the other way cuz I was going to say you could put it right
backwards and then people be all like oh yeah I think I'm going to go forward and
then the uh the thing would actually go backwards but see now you can see it
does go the correct
direction
wo look at this guy look at him go
okay I think we're done
