Re: 1/16 Oliver Dozer Conversion

Skeeter, thanks.

It is a diecast model that I converted to RC. I had to do a bit if simple machine work for the motor mounts and bearings on the drive axels but it wasn't too bad.

Re: 1/16 Oliver Dozer Conversion

Anyone ever find a good way to reduce the dirt pack between the track pads on a crawler machine?

I know this is common, I have tried waxing the pads and I think that helps for a bit.

Also, when...

Re: 1/16 Oliver Dozer Conversion

I hope I don't jinx myself but I think I figured out the problem I was having with the sabertooth!

Re: 1/16 Oliver Dozer Conversion

It keeps getting better...:p

Today I put bearings in the main drive assembly. I'm sure that will help runtime and power to the dirt. Added a dual rate and slowed it down to about half speed so I...

Re: 1/16 Oliver Dozer Conversion

I got a reply back from the help desk of the motor controller. My gut reaction tells me that it doesn't really put out the amps to the RX like they claim. But, it also doesn't seem to like the...
