Eyewhale D1050 RC Crane

The Eyewhale D1050 RC Crane is a professional-grade 1/14 scale hydraulic mobile crane engineered for advanced RC construction enthusiasts, large-scale construction sites, commercial demonstrations, and collectors looking for a highly detailed working crane.

Weighing approximately 22.75 kg, the D1050 combines extensive stainless-steel construction, CNC manufacturing, a sophisticated hydraulic system, 6X6 all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, differential locks, hydraulic outriggers, a telescopic boom, variable-amplitude truss, and a premium FlySky PL18EV radio system.

Unlike smaller electrically operated construction models, the D1050 uses an extensive combination of hydraulic, brushless, mechanical, and electronic systems to reproduce the operation of a full-size mobile construction crane.

Precision Metal Construction

The Eyewhale D1050 is manufactured using a combination of advanced fabrication processes, including:

• Stainless-steel laser cutting

• Laser welding

• CNC machining technology

• Stainless-steel structural components

• 7075 aluminum-alloy boom components

These manufacturing methods provide the model with the strength and precision required for a crane weighing approximately 22.75 kg.

The supplied tyres are also thickened specifically to support the substantial weight of the vehicle.

6X6 All-Wheel Drive

The D1050 uses a 6X6 all-wheel-drive system, providing driven power across all three axles.

The drivetrain incorporates a 3060 internal brushless motor combined with a planetary two-speed gearbox.

Power is transferred through a three-axle wheel-side reduction drivetrain incorporating:

• Differentials

• Differential locks

• Wheel-side reduction

• Three driven axles

This drivetrain configuration gives the crane greater traction and control when manoeuvring around an RC construction environment.

All-Wheel Steering With Four Steering Modes

In addition to 6X6 drive, the Eyewhale D1050 features all-wheel steering.

The steering system supports four different steering modes, giving the operator additional manoeuvrability when positioning such a large machine.

The chassis has an approximately 400 mm turning radius, allowing the crane to perform tighter manoeuvres than would normally be expected from a model of this size.

A dedicated Hobbywing 15A UBEC supplies independent power to the steering system.

Hydraulic Lifting Chassis

The D1050 incorporates a hydraulically adjustable chassis, allowing the chassis to be raised and lowered hydraulically.

This is part of the crane's extensive hydraulic system and adds another realistic working function beyond the main boom and outriggers.

Hydraulic Outrigger System

Stable crane operation requires proper support, and the D1050 incorporates a hydraulic outrigger system.

A three-way hydraulic valve controls the:

• Hydraulic horizontal outriggers

• Hydraulic vertical outriggers

• Hydraulic chassis lifting/lowering system

The outriggers can therefore be deployed to support and stabilise the crane before lifting operations.

This significantly increases the realism of the setup process compared with simpler RC cranes using manually positioned supports.

Four-Way Upper Hydraulic System

The upper body incorporates a separate four-way hydraulic valve system.

Hydraulic functions include:

• Driving/upper structure pitch

• Main boom pitch

• Telescopic boom operation

• Counterweight lifting

This allows several major crane functions to operate hydraulically, closely reproducing the sequence of operation found on full-size mobile cranes.

Telescopic Main Boom

The D1050 uses a single-cylinder rope-sequence telescopic boom system.

The outer boom is manufactured from stainless steel, while the inner boom uses 7075 aluminum alloy, combining rigidity with reduced moving mass.

The supplied technical information lists the maximum telescopic dimension as 2750, although the unit should be confirmed before publication.

The hydraulic telescopic mechanism allows the operator to extend and retract the boom remotely.

Variable-Amplitude Truss

A variable-amplitude truss is supplied as standard.

The truss has a stated maximum dimension of approximately 3800 mm, further extending the crane's working configuration for large-scale RC lifting demonstrations.

Together with the telescopic main boom, it gives the D1050 a significantly larger operating structure than conventional RC construction cranes.

Brushless Slewing System

Upper-structure rotation is powered by a brushless motor combined with planetary reduction gearing.

This system is designed to provide controlled crane rotation while handling the substantial mass of the upper assembly.

Planetary reduction helps deliver the torque required for smooth slewing operation.

Brushless Planetary Winch

The lifting winch also uses a brushless motor with planetary reduction.

This configuration provides the controlled torque required for raising and lowering loads through the crane's lifting system.

The use of dedicated brushless drive components throughout the D1050 reflects the model's more advanced construction.

FlySky PL18EV Radio System

The Eyewhale D1050 includes a FlySky PL18EV remote-control system.

Because of the large number of independent functions built into the crane, the model uses three 12-channel receivers:

• 2 × 12-channel receivers for the chassis

• 1 × 12-channel receiver for the upper body

This provides the channel capacity required to control the drivetrain, steering, hydraulics, crane body, outriggers, lighting, and other functions.

Independent Electronic Systems

The D1050 uses several dedicated electronic systems rather than relying on a single basic controller.

These include:

• Hobbywing 60A travel ESC

• Hobbywing 15A UBEC for independent steering power

• Three-in-one 30A brushless ESC

• Brushless drivetrain motor

• Brushless slewing motor

• Brushless winch motor

• Multiple servos

• Three receivers

This arrangement allows the crane's numerous systems to be controlled independently.

Angry Bear Sound and Lighting System

The D1050 is equipped with an Angry Bear sound and lighting system.

The integrated lighting recreates the appearance of a working mobile crane, while the sound system adds realistic operating audio during driving and crane operation.

Together, these features enhance the model's presence during demonstrations and large-scale RC construction sessions.

Cab Display Screen

The crane cab features an integrated display screen, adding another realistic detail to the operator cabin.

This complements the detailed exterior construction and advanced electronic systems throughout the vehicle.

Large 1/14 Scale Construction

Despite being built in 1/14 scale, the D1050 is a very substantial RC construction machine.

Its overall dimensions are approximately:

• Length: 842 mm

• Width: 183 mm

• Height: 275 mm

• Weight: Approx. 22.75 kg

Its size allows it to work alongside large 1/14 scale RC excavators, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks, bulldozers, transport vehicles, and other construction machinery.

Product Specifications

Hydraulic Functions

The Eyewhale D1050 features an extensive hydraulic system controlling several major functions.

The hydraulic chassis and three-way valve system operate:

• Chassis raising and lowering

• Horizontal outriggers

• Vertical outriggers
