My new dozer, go ahead and laugh but it works.
 
This is my simple conversion of an old NYLINT dozer that has been under my work bench for a few years. It has a lot of rust some spots rusted all the way through some dents and it was missing the blade. I made a blade out of materials I had lying around and used a HI Tec 645MG servo to raise and lower the blade. I made some adaptors to bolt the rear drives to two 104 beetle motors. The esc is the original esc that came with my track loader but now that I know it works I will replace that piece of junk esc with a Sabertooth. Well enough chit chat here are some pics and a video of the dozer in the sand box. I think it did quite well in the test since this is really fine play sand and it rained a lot last night and some today so needless to say it was really wet and heavy. This dozer also has no added weight other than the motors, esc, servo, and battery so it is light compared to my Stahl dozer.

Thanks guys I am thinking about finding one of the tonka T9 dozers and converting it. If I remember right from the one I had it should work out pretty good and it would be easy to add some detail to it as well.

Hi Travis,

i'm a great fan of those old machines and this dozer is amazing. Slower motors, some applications and a driver, than this will looking better than every modern dozer. Nice work and uncreadible looking.

hey Travis

Your NYLINT conversion looks great, I like your idea to convert an old sandpit tonka instead of converting a plastic toy as I think it will out live a plastic toy any day.

Regards from Cam. :cool:

The T9 would not have to be vintage since I think the undercarriage is the same on both. It was the top half that got most of the changes on the newer one.

Thanks much, I think the motors will be fine once I get a new esc for them. The esc I am using now is one that Stahl used in their equipment and it is way out dated and very inefficient. It uses relays, logic cards, and trim pots which can be a pain to get it to work. The esc also does not offer good fine control for lower speeds and makes the dozer look jerky in its movements. The new Sabertooth should make it drive a lot smother and still have the speed if I want it.

Travis, how bout some conversion pics? Would like to see the motors and drivetrain, and blade lift.

I comp,etely approve! I need to get to some yard sales this year and see if I can score something in that vintage.

Instead of vintage this thing is a speed dozier,looks like it performs better than it looks on the outside. good conversion!!

This is not a bulldozer but a RACE dozer.
I like it.

I will see what I can do about some better pics by next week end. I will say when you see it you wont believe how simple it is.

Definitely Jim for as cheap as these are you can always move the RC components to another one and keep on going.

It is an old dozer with a new updated drive train.:D

It will go slow you just have to not push as hard on the stick + it will be a lot better with the new ESC.

Thanks to everybody for taking a look.
