Those motors will work but the speed to toque ratio is very high. Reducing the voltage down to 7.4 will cut the speed but also will cut the torque rating too........ something around 150:1 would be much more suitable......if you have access to those motor.....don't want to discourage you, but wanted to let you now before you buttoned everything up.

It's going to be a fast dozer! Those motors are 100rpm at 6v. I like how you have them set up though.

I agree the dozer will not be to scale speed but I had these motors kicking around so I figured I would use them. I can always adjust the EPA's on my radio to scale the speed back. Plus I have so much rc stuff from years of racing and building etc that I told myself that I will use what I have and not buy more stuff (let's see how long that lasts...). More pics and progress coming soon.

So I got to working on the blade lift. I decided to use servos tucked into what would be the track tensioner.





I had to make a sliding mount for the servo horn to mount to. This was made with styrene and slides in the angle styrene brackets.
