Re: RCLogger
 

very nice Greg...I hope you don't mind a couple of questions..( but I'm going to ask anyway..LOL )

What scale is the D8 and about how heavy...Also what motors did you use..

Thanks

Jerry

Re: RCLogger
 

Wow, your D8 is amazing. I saw you said you use #35 chain with K1 on every other link, do you order it this way or do you put the K1 in yourself? Thanks

Re: RCLogger
 

very nicely done clean and neat lol wish i could finish models that fast i can build them but then i get to electronics and hydro's and i get lost lol very nice job i like the D 8

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg What's left to say. After seeing this build in person, from start to finish it's amazing.
Gentlemen this builder has some awesome talent and this is just the start. I can hardly wait to see what's next.
Rob

Re: RCLogger
 

You've done yourself proud with this build Greg. :cool:

Have you scored a pump/valves for it yet?

Re: RCLogger
 

Hey Jerry
I built in 1/14 scale, I don't have pump,spools and battery in yet, but it will be close to my other D8, around 30 lbs. I used the same motors as the other Cat as well, lots of power, 400 in/oz per side,:D drawback is that they are loud..

Deereman : I get the chain made up that way, it came from China

Re: RCLogger
 

Jerry : I did some measuring it is Height 12 inch
Track length 14.5
Blade 11
total length 24

Re: RCLogger
 

Thanks Greg..

You are about 1/2 the size of my D8 which is in 1/7..I had thought about making something in about 1/14 or 1/2 but needed to know what type of motors you were using..
BTW, the winch motor that I used for my dozer is very similar to your motors and it too has a loud gear noise to it...

The reason I made mine in 1/7 was to accomodate the Denso angle drive window motors...They are very quiet, but large, about 7 inches long..

Jerry

Re: RCLogger
 

your dozer is right at the same size of the D 7 i am building in my thread i just weigh in at 55 lbs and my blade is 15 wide

Re: RCLogger
 

Very nice work! I like it a lot!!

Re: RCLogger
 

now we need video of her pushin dirt

Re: RCLogger
 

Hi Greg,

Looks fantastic with paint on it... can I ask if you painted it with rattle cans or spray gun and compressor?

Thanks
Elliot

Re: RCLogger
 

Great job I like seeing more and more construction equipment being built and watching you guys build these great models makes me want to build my own wheel loader.

Re: RCLogger
 

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg, Looks really good, nearly finished with this project. Fred

Re: RCLogger
 

Greg. That's sure turned out nice. I like the way you can angle the blade. Are we going to move some dirt this weekend.
Rob

Re: RCLogger
 

Wow Greg that works Awesome. I'd better get my ADT done so I can test out the roads you build:cool:

Re: RCLogger
 

Wow... looks mega powerful... can't wait to see some videos of it in action!

Re: RCLogger
 

I was up at the ski hill all weekend Rob, BUT I had a hour tonite before dusk in the sand pit. I just had to give her a try ! Batteries were weak and only had 12 volts for the drive rather than 18, still was fun though.. :D I will get a video loaded tomorrow..
