The track loader is freaking awesome when u put in the hydro kit.
the electric does actually fairly good.
yes , I can get them . Roughly US $ 3000,- shipped.
I changed some of the mechanics , since in its original state it can only dump the bucket if the traverse is all the way up . On mine I can dump the bucket now in any height of the traverse . I also did NOT use the Carson electronics , I used individual ESC's .
It has plenty of power. Need to do a few more modifications , then I can post a build report ( when I get the time ).
Also found some cool screw-drives , which look like hydraulic cylinders . Did a toy-excavator conversion with them ( also shown in the videos , unfortunately only a short clip , since I run out of battery on my camera and it was to darn cold to continue when I filmed that , ha )

Note : the dirt I was digging around in ( when I started ) was hard packet ground !
I like how this track-loader performs .
I may change the gearing for the bucket-drive to have a faster dump-action.
