April 7, 2026
A modification for burnie222 1/14 scale Kitten 394 RC excavator.
This modification includes:
- Longer stick, modeled after the 12'10" 'reach' stick. It is Electric only.
- Electric remote control quick coupler.
- Electric progressive link thumb.
- Full instructions, parts list, reference photos.
Designed to closely match the original machine, while maintaining full functionality. In Canada and the USA I typically see excavators with longer sticks and while it is rare to see a thumb on a machine this large, it is a real option. The thumb adds a lot of versatility to your excavator for around the garden but can easily be removed to switch back to mass excavation work.
Instructions and reference photos for matching my wire management pipes on the arms are also included. Not strictly necessary but optional.
Buckets shown not included.
