ESCATOYS™ · Models · Drones · Rides · Powerchairs
Engineered for pilots, riders, and whoever ends up fixing it.
Radio-controlled models, civil drones, personal electric machines and powerchairs. Everything here draws serious current, and everything here is built to be opened up again when it needs to be.
The range
Four things that draw serious current, and one that teaches you to fix them.
A toy, an aircraft and a road vehicle answer to three different sets of rules. They are on separate pages because pretending otherwise would be convenient for us and wrong for you.
What we build towards
Three commitments, decided before tooling.
These are intentions, not measurements. When we have numbers to stand behind, they will appear on this page with their source.
Built to be repaired
The parts that wear are the parts you can replace. A machine that opens, gets fixed and closes again survives its first bad landing — and the second. Nothing is glued shut that could have been screwed together.
Control that rewards practice
Response is tuned so the first run is manageable and the hundredth is still interesting. We would rather a machine asked something of its owner than flattered them. Skill should have somewhere to go.
Complete in the box
Transmitter, battery, charger, and documentation that makes sense of them. The aim is a machine that works the afternoon it arrives — without a second order and without a parts list.
Hands, not slides
Whoever ends up fixing it can be you.
Soldering, repair and assembly, taught at a bench.
Soldering
You leave able to make a joint that survives a crash.
Repair
You leave able to say what is wrong, and whether it is worth it.
Assembly
You leave able to build one and trust it in the air.
Nobody is buying this for a child
Toys for big kids
Some of what we make is genuinely for a fourteen-year-old. The rest is bought by adults, for adults, with a story about it being for the family that nobody in the room believes.
The category exists because pretending otherwise was getting embarrassing.
Safety
Stated plainly.

Where we stand today
The radio-controlled models are being developed towards CE marking and EN 71 safety testing. The rest of the range answers to other rules entirely, and each category page sets out its own. We publish documentation when it exists, and not before.
That is why you will find no seals, no badges and no test results on this page. We do not hold them yet, and a mark you cannot verify is worth less than an honest sentence.
Questions
Answered without a form.
When will these be available?
The range is in development. Register your interest below and we will write to you when one of them is ready to order — not sooner, and not on a schedule.
What age are these for?
The radio-controlled models are guided at fourteen and up, and that guidance is ours. Nothing else in the range carries an age from us: for a drone, a personal electric machine or a powerchair the minimum age is set by the country you are in, and each category page says so.
Are they safe?
The radio-controlled models are being designed to the EN 71 toy safety standards and towards CE marking. EN 71 is the toy standard and it does not reach the rest of the range — a drone, a personal electric machine and a powerchair each answer to a different set of rules, named on their own page. Until that documentation exists we make no safety claim beyond the age guidance on this page.
