Thanks guys
Here's a video with onboard camera (GoPro Hero 2). Sorry for the shaky picture, my camera mount was a bit sloppy. Hope you don't get sea sick

This is truly an amazing build with a lot of detail and time put into it. With that being said now I have to be "that guy". Why with all of the detail that went into it why did you stop at the wheel fasteners and just use plain old lock nuts?

My plan was to make covers for the wheel hubs, but totally forget it
So it's back to the machine shop

The model seems to work as well as it looks!! I like the last video the best. That's just me personally,but you can see the whole machine and the work it is doing. I really like when it has a full blade with the sand rolling off the blade. Looks like a real machine. Great job!!

I would love to see a video where you show the full range of motion of all of the machine. I know you built a lot of the real functions into it. for instance does the blade shift side to side, do the front wheels tilt, does the cab and boom pivot for tighter steering etc...


Thanks, Again your machine is incredible.

WOW that works very well! Can you roll the blade forward some? That would work better for maintaining sand and gravel and the material won't collect on your blade.
Next test get it in some damp clay with the blade back like in the video and lean the wheels to keep the front end from sliding sideways.
Great job!!!!
