Default Re: my dozer build

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

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

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.

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

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
