Toy dozer has RC potential!
I'm in need of a dozer for the backyard but just cant afford a real deal, metal dozer. I was searching ebay and came across this new bright dozer. Size seems right, and so is the price.Cost less than a bruder and this one is already powered so I thought what the heck.
Just got it today, tested in the back and this thing aint too bad !
taking it apart was a breeze by the way. cab pops off easy tabs and the body is 5 screws and no tabs! Nice!
I couldn't help myself and had to see how a lipo fits.
Its a 6V system right now, I wonder if I would burn the motors out using 7.4
I have yet to do a rc conversion of my own but I think this is a great machine to try it on. Im thinking sabertooth 2x12 5A. Servo city drive motors mounted to a plate which will be secured by another plate on the bottom of the dozer for strength and added weight on the drives. a high torque servo to lift the blade....etc.
I'll keep ya's posted!
