Lou, yes I'm pretty happy with the gear motors now. As you can see from the vid, the speed is perfect And I need to test a little bit more by adding some plate steal inside the chassis for weight but the motors will not stall while pushing an object heavier than the dozer itself. The tracks loose traction, but this was on concrete. Dirt will be diff but I think the tracks will still break loose if pushing something too heavy. Thanks for following.

Thank you. Will post some video in the dirt asap.

An absolutely unbelievable build! It is so realistic. I don't have much experience with electronics so what sound system are you using? Ken

Thank you, and sorry about that I never mentioned anything about that, or showed that the Servonaut SMT I'm using for sound is tucked up under the 2 Sabertooth 2x12 motor controllers. I printed a little organizer for the electronics to mount to, to keep things neat and the sound module can't be seen in the pics.

The sound isn't bad, actually sounds good in person due to the larger speaker and speakerbox I'm using. I had this SMT laying around, I'm curious to know what the new sounds on the new Servonaut modules sound like.. May have to place and order cause this SMT was actually supposed to be for my excavator.

Jason, I've haven't had experience with the sabertooth motor controllers yet but have a conversion on the books for one, why did you use 2? I thought that the 2x12 operated 2 motors? Sorry if I missed this somewhere.

I used the second controller to operate the 12 volt linear actuators on the blade. These controllers are great, and will def use them again for my next project.
