Quick update... A while ago I was thinking about a suitable transmitter to run my dozer and didn't want to use a standard plastic one which would be intended for aero or helicopter with computer control I just didn't need so I purchased this 30 year old 6 channel 27MHz for next to nothing... I had a guy work his magic and now it has 8 channel's and is now 2.4MHz...

Two of the spare channel's have three position switches which will run the sound system and lights etc... Now I have a all metal dozer and transmitter :D

Had a couple of hour's spare today so I made the exhaust stacks.. That's something else done from the long list of things to do :rolleyes:

That is an old radio!! I thought I was the only one that had any 27mhz stuff left. Nice find!! Great work on the dozer also.

I have not modeled this on any particular Dozer just a mix of the bits I like although it does look D11 ish :) unfortunately I do not know anything about hydraulics so this is being powered by two geared 24volt 450watt motors with a secondary reduction.. Not sure what scale this would be but its big (1300mm) long and the weight will be around the 90/100 kg.. Blade is 820mm in width, I'm hoping it fits in my van :D

Thanks guys.. Col

Hi there nice work! I did some calculations and your dozer would be about 1:8-1:8.5. What did you use to make your rollers and idlers for your tracks?

Hi jaden... Thank you for your calculation. Track is 5/8 pitch conveyor chain, Idler's are stock item that are used for rolling large gates on a track... Bottom rollers are floating to keep track in line.. I'll try and find a picture ;)
