As for the Bruder skid steers I built the tracked cat and this will cost you over 400 there are a number of spendy servos in that one if you do it right it is adds up fast..

Running the RDS8000 in both of these units I am able to run both with out turning them off just but switching back and forth..

You can do it I would save up to 400 to get started and you can get a great remote and have a well built unit right off the bat that you wont have to rebuild down the road do to cutting corners just to get it running..

Ok thanks! That sounds much better than what it did a few months ago. I'm willing to do the $300 for the dozer (What dozer was it from Bruder? The D5?)
And since I am a noob. Can you recommend the ESC and 2 micro servos?
