Re: Uderwater r/c bulldozer
those are pretty neat! kinda misleading with the snorkels poking out of the water as to what is really going on underneath!

Re: Uderwater r/c bulldozer
Interesting application by Komatsu. They are RC and diesel powered. Started with a D155A-1 and sealed all the compartments - engine was the toughest to do. Snorkel is a double-wall thing: exhaust goes up the middle and intake air goes down between exhaust and the outer wall. Actually came out in the mid-1980's, if a I remember correctly. Long-reach excavators have replaced most of the units but some are still operational. There are a couple of other videos on YouTube that show one dozer working around a commercial boat that is aground. A second dozer with diver had to retrieve the first unit after it broke down - diver hooked a tow cable between the two dozers.
They tried using mounted cameras but once the machines started operating the silt cloud made them useless. So who is going to model this?????:D:D Ken |

Werner is the only one that I have ever seen that has his u/c waterproof on his 12th scale track hoe.
