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.

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.
