Greg What's left to say. After seeing this build in person, from start to finish it's amazing.
Gentlemen this builder has some awesome talent and this is just the start. I can hardly wait to see what's next.

You've done yourself proud with this build Greg.

Have you scored a pump/valves for it yet?

What scale is the D8 and about how heavy...Also what motors did you use..

Thanks

Hey Jerry
I built in 1/14 scale, I don't have pump,spools and battery in yet, but it will be close to my other D8, around 30 lbs. I used the same motors as the other Cat as well, lots of power, 400 in/oz per side,

drawback is that they are loud..

Deereman : I get the chain made up that way, it came from China

Thanks Greg..

You are about 1/2 the size of my D8 which is in 1/7..I had thought about making something in about 1/14 or 1/2 but needed to know what type of motors you were using..
BTW, the winch motor that I used for my dozer is very similar to your motors and it too has a loud gear noise to it...

The reason I made mine in 1/7 was to accomodate the Denso angle drive window motors...They are very quiet, but large, about 7 inches long..

Hi Greg,

Looks fantastic with paint on it... can I ask if you painted it with rattle cans or spray gun and compressor?

Thanks
Elliot

Great job I like seeing more and more construction equipment being built and watching you guys build these great models makes me want to build my own wheel loader.

Greg. That's sure turned out nice. I like the way you can angle the blade. Are we going to move some dirt this weekend.

I was up at the ski hill all weekend Rob, BUT I had a hour tonite before dusk in the sand pit. I just had to give her a try ! Batteries were weak and only had 12 volts for the drive rather than 18, still was fun though..

I will get a video loaded tomorrow..
