Dozer like Cat D8
 

Hello,

this is my first dozer, its not scale but i tried to get it like Cat D8. There is something to do, i will change to metal tracks and the motor to lift the blade will changed to faster.

very cool what motors did you use? the only thing i see is the blade is a lil slow but all in all it works good good job i like the older stuff

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

I saw your build on another forum. I'm happy to see that you posted here as well! It's a very nice machine!

Oh, I like it much better now that you put it back to the cable setup too!

Great looking dozer!

Hello,

thanks for the compliments. I have used two RB35:200 to drive the tracks, and a motor with gear box to lift the blade. This motor is to slow and i will change it. The next step is to build tracks in metal, because the power is to high for this tracks.

In this video you can see the dozer working together with the Menck M90 backhoe.

The new video looked great and it looks like the machine is performing very well now. The speed is right on and the power it has is great for its size. I really like how this dozer turned out.

Amazing ! What a difference with the blade speed :cool: Looks like its a lot easier to operate now too. Faster all around.
Very nice work. Now you need to find a little man to put in the seat. :):)

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

The new speed does look like it opperates much smoother and has pretty good traction in the dirt as well. Awaiting new videos of it in action too.

Re: Dozer like Cat D8

Hi Mario,

thanks. What else can i do? I have the same problem as many other modellers: At the first videos, my wife took the camera, but she is not amused to assist me. Therefore i put the camera to a tripod and thats the reason of this kind of videos.
