I have one, just haven't posted any videos yet. The tracks have spring tensioner' on them, but I had to take my tracks completely apart and locktite the pins. The small 2mm bolts all around the tracks and drives need to be loctited and tightened also.

Really like mine, is fun to push snow and dirt but takes some practice, I have a spectrum dx18 that I need to program to it. The Radio link transmitter seams to work fine but I don't like how it is set up, seems as though I am always accendetily activating the ripper. The dozer is very heavey as needed and will ripp hard dirt, but you need to make several passes.

I am in Arizona now, but I will try to get some pictures and video's when I get back.

Thanks for the heads up David. Will loctite those pins and screws when mine comes in.

Lucked out and dozer got out before new years. According to fedex will be here wed. Much better shipping experience so far dealing with Tang at Eagle than rc4wd on this one. 4200 took a month and had to front $100 at customs through DHL that rc4wd did reimburse in the end.

Pleasantly surprised by fedex today with dozer delivery! Try to get the one over on all screws and hydro fittings over the next day or 2 then hope to start digging.

Look forward to hearing your impression on it. Did you do the money transfer to tang or PayPal? I'm asking as I'm thinking about buying the 870k threw him

I did money transfer through western union. Since the closest WU was at my grocery store it had to be done via a debit card with a pin. Couldn't use a credit card. This limited me to $2000 a day so had to send 2 transfers over 2 days.

Started getting into checking fixtures and screws. The fixture on the fill lead was loose. Also started filling the tank and had oil spill out everywhere from the "relief" hose. Only had about 100ML in so guess it had some residual in the tank from functions testing at the factory. Going to replace that with a vent I have left over from a 4200 tank replacement.
fill line is on the left, relief line on the right. May be a couple days before it gets in any dirt.

Not trying to be a jerk so don't take it that way but the track pads are on backwards. Love the look of the dozer other than that.

when leaning heavy to the right the vent line will leak fluid ..I machined a slot in the bottom of the fuel tank and tee to the filler line ..I have a small hole in the filler cap to vent pressure out

Guess I'm just not going to have good luck with Eagle. 4200 showed up with busted track motor boxes and now so has the dozer. Put it on the shop floor for a test drive and heard a little crunching in the right planetary. Found a gear with some decent wear/breakage. I know this is cheap entry level chinese stuff but come on, at least let me get the tracks dirty!

I've gotten TX mixing done with great help from tracksntreadslou, so lower operation is done with left stick and blade operated with right stick. Now gonna have to wait a bit on gears from Tang till I get her dirty.

Email and pics sent to Tang, he's sending gears. Hopefully this sucker gets in the dirt soon.

Parts are on their way with a tracking number. Tang is very good at working with you to get any problems solved. Just have your camera ready as they like pics to go along with busted or missing items to show them exactly whats up. RC4WD is the same way.
