Looks like Fumotec is bringing out a small dozer in 2014.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
Frank must be burning the candle from both ends to add a new model kit every yr, plus continue to work for Vario?!

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
Heres what Trucks and Details had to say about it on Facebook
Fumotec provides a small glimpse into the future. The market introduction of the Komatsu bulldozer D65WX is planned on the scale of 1: 14.5 for the summer 2014. The Caterpillar will be equipped with a specially-tuned propulsion concept, as well as a specially designed hydraulic system. |

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
Yep I bet Frank is burning the candle at both ends. I have been waiting for some parts from him for my 850D. No Biggy, I an not in a huge hurry or anything. He say that he was super busy from the PC-490 sales after the last show in Germany.
I have 3 of his machines. They are super heavy duty. So this Dozer is sure to be no different. I like his machines. Even that tracked dump truck. I just wish that tracked dump truck had a turret like some of the other one of a kinds that I have seen. Eddie |

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
Thanks for posting the video... That is a very nice blade. I have never seen one tilt like that. I think that machine will be avail in the Summer??? It will be very heavy duty just as my B50 and excavators are... I know a lot of you have interest in this dozer. Hopefully Frank will figure an easier way to get it to the US market. I have a stahl dozer that is on the project table waiting for an electrical transplant. Someday.....
Thanks for posting the video... MBRINC10 |

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
Most of the blades I operated were 6 way blades save 2 semi-U

I love the Fumotec stuff. Super duty! I must say my B50 is ridiculously strong. I like that style. I had an 8x8 Scaleart. It was super cool. But I always felt it was a little too delicate for me. I was always scared to hurt it. But not with the B50, the 850D and the 450 D. Not worried a bit! We haven't seen much of that Raupendumper that he has. Just a few vids and pics. He doesn't have pricing for it on his shop site. I love all dump trucks. Call me crazy, but I rally like that thing. I just with it had a turret. That would push me over the top to try to get one of those. Thanks |

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
I will get one of these as soon as they have them for sale, but I don't want to build it, no more time to build anything anymore so it might be a long shot to ask him to build me one.

Undoubtedly I will get one! But a yr or 2 from now, I have enough on my plate at the moment. I luv his model kits too, they're simple assembly, heavy & bulletproof tough!!! And the price is quite reasonable too... about the same as or cheaper than wdc. I thought you and rc13 are neighbors?

[QUOTE=

He rather buy them built as well, much better to wait and get it built for you, with the job, family , kids, you rarely have time to breath. I knocked out what I could build wise before the twins came and now I'm at a stand still, got an 8x8 to finish, 8x4 to upgrade, day cab dumper to paint and finish, flat bed to finish, redo my roll off, and actually turn on my 944 for once...... Maybe I'll just get it and sit on it for awhile until I can find some time. I sent Frank a message this morning, lets see what he says.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
MoRockN,
I know what you mean about the amount of time that multiples devour. I discovered this hobby not too long before my wife got pregnant with Triplets. They are now a year and a half old and I have not been able to spend any time on this hobby other than keep up with this site. I would love to buy a kit and put it together. If I did, I probably wouldnt be able to finish it by thier 18th birthday. |

I did build the B50. I am so glad I did. I do like building models, but as MoRockN said, there isn't enough time anymore. I have so many projects on the table right now with modifying what I already have. I am currently working on my 450D excavator. Almost took the whole thing apart to re-work it... Now I do some minor fabricating, but mainly work on getting all my models totally outfitted with great electronics, all the cool extras, lights, etc. Always excited to see the new stuff from Frank. Like this dozer that you guys will get. I do wish that Raupendumper (tracked dump truck for anyone that hasn't seen it) had a turret. That would be sweet! Thanks. |
