Re: New build d11 cat
Dude, from where did you get those rubber tracks? I've been searching for something similiar but with no results.
Your build look cool, seems bigger scale this time. You make everything from wood? |
Re: New build d11 cat
Hey Madda, look at snow blower's. Cheer's, Neil.
|
Re: New build d11 cat
Doodle, aren't blower's too big?
|
Re: New build d11 cat
They are from snow thrower and the wood is just for mock up will be steel on real one
|
Re: New build d11 cat
:DBring it on! Can't wait to see how the track's work out:D
Cheer's, Neil. |
Re: New build d11 cat
Never would have thought that these tracks can be from snow blower, what is the size of these?
If you make it from steel then it is going to be a nice machine! Looking forward to see it running! |
Re: New build d11 cat
the reason im using these tracks is for the ability to push dirt every dozer vidio i have seen here the dozers are to lite and have no traction and cant push much dirt i want to play with mine and move a lot of dirt and theses tracks will hook up harder than any steel track i know its not as real but it will be much more funtionall

Re: New build d11 cat
hay skeeter what are you guys using for motors for the tracks electric
|
Re: New build d11 cat
On my Bruder D4 conversion, I used old servo's. The potentiometers were fried, but the motors were good. I just removed all the excess junk from the case, leaving ONLY the motor, then removed the limiting pin from the gears. This method requires a Sabertooth controler (OR similar ESC) to control them.
On the Bruder D11 conversion that I will be starting sometime, I am planning to use these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SALE-0-6-12...72.m2749.l2649 |
Re: New build d11 cat
hay thats what im looking at but a lot bigger my dozer is going to weight about 60 lbs
|
Re: New build d11 cat
WOW, 60#! You may want to try the local auto wrecking yards, & try to get some wiper motors. I've heard of guys using them for motors in the BIG boys like that.

Re: New build d11 cat
to do that, I went to flicker, clicked on the pic I wanted to post, near the bottom right hand corner, there is an arrow that resembles a turn lane arrow. Click that arrow, it'll pop open a box that has options. Click BBCode at the top right of that box. In teh drop down menu, select a medium sized pic. Now copy the link that's provided just above that drop down menu, & paste it into your post here. Hope this helps. I know there's a tutorial somewhere around here how to do this, but I'm NOT able to find it.
