The bottom drawing is how I like to operate but, I steer with my right.


I decided I should keep the prototype Loader for myself and run the heck out of it to make sure everything holds up nice. After running it for a couple of hours moving dirt I noticed that the motors where getting really hot because of the 205:1 transmission that I was using. If you listen to motors in the video they are screaming at anything over half throttle. So, I put the heavier duty tamiya tranny in it (the gears are twice as thick) and now the drive ratio is 115:1 and now the motors never go over 130 degrees even after 1 hour of constant work. It still has power to spare and it sounds much better without the motors screaming.

I was asked to make a video with it running slower. I didn't realize that a Cat 297C has a top speed of only 8.5 mph.
